I am so lucky to have found Helen at Cachet. I have been working with her for five months. She is helping me prepare a competitive dance routine and I’m SO glad I chose her to be my coach.
She is positive, organized, and motivating. Her corrections for technique are never put downs. She has an incredible way of being helpful and pushing me to get out of my limitations.
Thank you for everything Helen 🙂 See you Saturday!!

Salsa - WeddingThis is a real dance studio where Helen taught us how to dance,for our daughters wedding! First though she choreographed the Father Daughter dance. We can’t wait to perform them in February. Helen is a natural at this and made us all feel comfortable with the moves as we practice it becomes our own with our accents and twists. We highly recommend Cachet DANCE Studio!

QuinceañeraI want to give a big shout out to Helen for her amazing talent. I was referred to her and contacted her last minute to teach my girls a combo hip hop/salsa/reggaetón routine for their quinceneara. Helen only had about a month to teach the girls and their partners a routine and she nailed it. Girls started off with hip hop and reggaetón and Helen added a salsa dance and the end and it was the perfect ending to their performance. Helen was professional, patient and took her time with my girls and their chambelanes. Thank you Helen for an amazing job. Thanks for accepting this challenge at the last minute and working this into your busy schedule. I HIGHLY recommend Cachet Dance Academy.

Hip Hop | Salsa | ReggaetónMy girls and I had a blast at our one hour private salsa lesson at Cachet!
Helen and her partner were phenomenal teachers! We learned foundational salsa moves and then they tailored the lesson to our group’s ability (or inability, however you look at it) so that we could do as much as possible during the hour. They explained the moves in different ways so that we could understand our body position and the rhythm.
Helen is professional and very responsive to inquiries. I booked the lesson a few weeks in advance and they were able accommodate my request.
I will definitely be in touch with them for any future lessons!

SalsaHelen is the best.
She worked with us and always made sure we had the steps down and if we needed her to go a bit slower she would and break it down. She is a very sweet person and highly recommend her. She books up fast so you better hurry up and get your date set.
She knows what she is doing and is a great dancer.
