Nicoles classes are amazing! Shes so lovely and her teaching style is really easy to follow. I definitely recommend the progressive group classes for a fun learning environment that really works.

I came across Nicole Gils IG page and I reached out to her for private lessons and she immediately responded and accepted me as a new student. After one lesson with her I was hooked and I immediately knew I was in the right hands. After 4 private lessons she suggested I jump into her Dance University Salsa Level One group classes and Im so glad I did. Ive had so much fun learning salsa with a group of amazing people who want to learn the same thing. I also appreciate how well connected she is with industry, she is always keeping us up to date with all the new venues where we can practice our new salsa skills. If youre interested in learning salsa, I recommend you give her a call.

I’ve taken a few dance classes in the past from different studios but Dancer University is by far the best! Nicole and Stephen are clear in their instructions and break everything down making the moves easy to follow and comprehend. The atmosphere is always positive, fun and welcoming. I look forward to bachata class each week!

Nicole and Alan are the best!! It is so much fun to learn Salsa with them! Their class concept is great as everyone gets one on one time and feedback at the end of every class! So happy I found them!

Nicole and team are terrific. Fun community and a great place to learn. I especially like how each class in the series reinforces and builds on the class before. Great place to learn foundations for social dancing!

Hands down the best Salsa and Bachata instructors in LA. Nicole, Stephen, Lior, Moshe are my instructors and they are freaking awesome. They know how to teach you in such a way to ensure you remember the steps. They even make sure to give you personal 1 on 1 instruction with no pressure so they can improve your skills. Nicole is the best. She’s so plugged into the social dancing scene so I always get the lowdown on where to dance. I enjoy dancing with her and everyone in this amazing community. Love you guys!

Absolutely the best!! Started with knowing nothing about dancing and I now feeling super comfortable going social dancing. Fun classes and the instructors actually cared and wanted me to do well!

Nicole is just a great person. She is really organized, creative, happy, punctual, respectful, and FUN! She makes salsa fun. First getting into salsa is a bit nervous for all of us. Ive never looked at my feet so much in my life. Nicole kept me laughing and made the learning process fun and exciting. She hosts many classes around the city, has her online classes, and she does privates (for that 1 on 1 attention to nail all your moves). Her dance vocabulary is large and she has the ability to teach Men, Women, Boys and Girls! If you are looking to have fun while learning an amazing dance; I would recommend Nicole Gil and Dancer University!

Nicole and her team are awesome. After taking classes with dancer university youll definitely be ready for social dancing!

After watching some videos of Bachata online, I decided that this was definitely my pandemic hobby and was going to be a fun escape from work. After doing this weekly with Nicole, I can confidently say this is the most fun Ive had in a really long time, have honestly learned the basics of bachata, and have already built a new community in a new city. Pretty much everything I was looking for.

I went from a wall flower to an actual dancer thanks to the teachers at Dancer University!! I never thought that was possible!! Thank you Dancer University!! Your teachers are the best!!!💯

Ive been taking classes with Nicole for several years now. Nicole is absolutely amazing!! Her classes are ALWAYS fun and full of positive energy. Her teaching techniques are very easy to follow and very efficient, Im sure even those who are just starting out with salsa and bachata will be dancing confidently in no time! And whats even more awesome - is that by joining the Dancer University you will not only be joining a dance class, you will be joining a fun, engaged, diverse and supportive community that Nicole built around her. We dance together, we travel together, we celebrate birthdays and other events. its an absolutely amazing community!

Moved to LA and started salsa lessons with Nicole. Life changing decision! She is patient and breaks patterns and movements down, adapting to skill levels of the dancers in class. Her lessons led me to social dancing with more confidence and to dancing in front of an audience. I highly recommend Dancer University, a great place to start your salsa journey, learn new skills, or brush up on the basic technique.

Nicole is a great instructor, dancer and person. Through my personal experience of having her as my dance teacher, I guarantee that she loves her job and she pays attention to details. The way she transmits the class is unique, not only because of her greatness but also of her positive energy! Either you are a beginner or advanced, with Nicole, you will soon feel confident, skilled and ready for the dance floor!! Some say you just need to have passion and feel the rhythm. Some say you just need to know the technique.. Well, with Nicole you will have both!! She is the combination of perfection and yes, I mean it!! Don´t waste anymore time! Join Dancer University! You won´t regret it!!

Dancer University helped my two left feet get into shape for my wedding day. Thanks to lessons with Nicole we got the best photo of the night, a great shot of me dipping my beautiful wife. Cant thank her enough for her patience and technique. Thank you, Nicole!

What I think is special about Dancer University is that the female teacher isn’t just an accessory. Most classes I’ve taken, the follow usually doesn’t say a word, while Nicole gives a full explanation of how it should feel for the lead and follow. I love that they show what each move looks like separate from one another, so that we can clearly see what we should be doing. The ladies styling touches, were also a great addition. Really love this course, couldn’t recommend it more!

I really wanted to wait until the end of bachata 1 series to share my review about dancer university but I couldn’t help myself.I have been looking for a good place to dance salsa or bachata on the west side, since I live in Marina del Rey and i have actually attended classes from other instructors but nothing compares to the Nicole’s classes. She is willing to go above and beyond to help every single student understand every movement and combo.Being a beginner, I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take me to learn but after just a few classes, i’ve gained the confidence to go social dancing and practice everything i’ve learned here.Prices are also much better than any other instructor in and outside of the area (trust me, I did my research).I highly recommend signing up! I’m already taking privates and looking to really level up my bachata dancing skills.

Taking salsa and bachata lessons with Nicole was one of the best decisions I made when I moved to LA. Shes an incredibly talented instructor and her teaching is very fun and easy to follow. And on top of all that, shes truly a nice loving person youd want to be around! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone wanting to learn to dance. Thanks Nicole for all the great classes and tips!

Dancer University is one the best dance schools in LA. Nicole breaks down the steps really well making it fun and easy to learn. She is super knowledgeable, skilled, and a sweetheart. Ive taken many classes with her in the past and I absolutely loved them!

Stellar experience! Nicole is accommodating and helped by navigating my difficult schedule. Punctual and incredibly polite. I felt comfortable in my lessons and will continue to hire for privates for a long time! Thank you Nicole and Alayn! 👍🏼☺️

Nicole and Lior are INCREDIBLE teachers! I have taken several salsa series on the westside and a few random bachata lessons and Dancer University is by far the best instruction Ive ever had. Both Nicole (Bachata 1) and Lior (Salsa 2) break down every move so it is easy to understand and learn. They also give extremely valuable insight on how to pick up on guys cues when out social dancing, which is my ultimate goal. The format of the classes gives us time to practice what we learned and then we also get one on one time with the instructors for feedback on what we learned that evening. I love it so much!

Nicoles classes are always so amazing, and I especially love that these online lessons focuses on social dancing! There are lady styling tips interspersed throughout but Nicole emphasizes how you can style while your dancing socially which is very unique. Overall stellar online lessons in both salsa and bachata.

Loved the online classes in dancer university. The website is very well organized and the videos are in a logical sequential order to keep challenging but not overwhelm you. I have had a great learning experience.

Nicoles salsa classes were my all time fav sessions! After I moved, to this day I havent been able to find any classes or communities for adv-beginner-ish (if thats a thing) that compare to the ones she led. I wish I lived closer so I could attend her small group or intensives... though i just may need to make the weekly drive for intensives some time after the new normal stabilizes. In the meantime Ill just need to brush up on the basics with her virtually!

Nicole is always so patient and kind when teaching. She breaks down the steps to make it as easy to follow as possible and is always willing to go over them if needed. Great teacher!!

I have taken classes with Nicole and learned from her video. After taking classes with a good amount of teachers throughout the US, I can confidently say the Nicole is INCREDIBLE.Her teaching techniques are so smart and clear that literally anyone can learn how to dance with her as long as they possess some dedication and persistency. She is sweet, patient, and always thoughtfully responds to all questions When asked. Oh and, clearly, she is a fabulous dancer.Thank you Nicole for teaching a whole new world to me!

Nicole has been my favorite dance teacher! Her explanations are clear and she understands the cues that work for students. She has a knack for teaching and it makes the experience easy and fun. You dont feel or see any of the seams in the lessons when you take her classes; they just flow and you just dance! She has mastered the art of presenting polished and complete lessons. I recommend this experience to everyone!

Nicole and Alayn are one of the best dance instructors Ive ever seen. Their teaching technique is so much fun and easy to follow. I highly recommend them for both salsa and bachata classes... you cant go wrong!!

I’ve taken many of Dancer University’s salsa and bachata classes and they’re fantastic! I highly recommend them!Nicole teaches with a lot of positive energy and she creates a fun atmosphere in her classes.She breaks down the moves simply and makes sure you understand how to lead or follow. Nicole teaches all the classic salsa and bachata moves but she also knows the latest moves in all the salsa clubs. She can definitely get you ready to go out dancing!Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, I think Dancer University classes can really help you. Check them out!

Beginner here! Nicole was very patient and we enjoyed learning from her. Looking forward to more lessons!

Taking classes with Nicole is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She really is an excellent teacher! She’s very passionate about what she does and she takes her time with you on improving your skills more and more with each lesson. I’m still amazed on how quickly my husband and I learned to dance salsa and it’s all thanks to Nicole! We couldn’t be any happier with her service and we highly recommend taking her classes to anyone interested in improving their salsa/bachata techniques!

Nicole and Alayn have the knowledge and skill that is needed to bring you to a level of pure confidence on the dance floor. Ive had the absolute pleasure of being able to take classes with them online and in person and I can say they far exceeded my expectation as instructors.Nicole is a pure joy to be around, clear in her directions, and very attentive to your needs. Alayn works hard to make sure the lead knows how to move and flow through the dance.I dont often write reviews but the professionalism and experience these two bring make it hard not to. If you want to learn how to be confident on the dance floor, learn all the great moves that are sure to impress, and have a great time in the process, please do yourself the favor and take an online class, or in person if you are able.

Always wanted to dance and never dared. Taking classes with Nicole completely made me fall in love with dancing. Classes were so clear, easy to connect to, great attitude, fun and basically best experiences ever. Cannot recommend it more. 1000 star rating!

Nicole has been my teacher for 3 years now and I must say it has been an amazing experience. Nicole is a teacher with a lot of patience and easy to follow guidance.. I have continued learning with her all this time because of her easy ways of teaching new material and making it super easy for me to learn. I now have my fiancée learning from her as well and we are both very very happy and would highly recommend her !!!! Thank you for everything Nicole !

I absolutely LOVE the way Nicole and Alayn teach salsa and bachata - their energy is just insane! Their programs are easy to follow and very intuitive. And did I say FUN??? It was a life saver in lockdown times - real treat at the end of the day after long hours of boring desk work. Would reckoned them to anyone

I did these online salsa classes because in the past I have taken Nicoles in-person classes, and she continues to be the best salsa/bachata teacher in Los Angeles!! (Ive tried quite a few different places!!) She makes things easy to understand, clear and fun. Highly highly recommend.

Leave it to Nicole to make dancing during Covid beautiful and fun! Thank you for bringing us outdoor classes to enhance of love of salsa and bachata. The website and videos are amazing - Thank you!
