Nela Dance brought so much energy and joy to our celebration! We wanted to incorporate my husband's Peruvian heritage into the evening, and Nela made that vision come to life. In just 45 minutes, she taught our guests Salsa, Merengue, and Bachata, followed by a super fun conga line and dance circle. Her instruction was clear, engaging, and easy to follow—even for guests who were hesitant at first! Everyone, whether participating or just watching, had a blast. It was definitely one of the most memorable parts of the night. We’re even considering taking more lessons with her—she was that much fun!
