What people think of learning with Adonis?
First, thank you all for the great course you created! Online classes aren't easy for beginners, but you can really see the effort that Adonis and his team put into the videos and explanations. I liked that there were options for the assignments. I absolutely loved learning more about the music, the dance, and the culture. I've even tried out some steps at socials and I feel good doing them! Anyway, it was a really beautiful experience! A thousand thanks!
Adonis is an excellent teacher, a great artist, and is also very knowledgeable in teaching to allow us enthusiasts to be able to learn and progress the study of the magnificent Cuban tradition of dance. Top teacher, top courses!
Thank you, Adonis, for a wonderful course! I thought the content was excellent--just the right level, and with a mixture of the fundamentals and some flair moves to add lots of style, so l am very happy. You explain everything very well, and I really appreciate the extra details about the meaning behind some of the Abakua movements.
Now that I know that I could take your online courses while being in another country, I would never have to worry about finding great Cuban teachers in the area where I live)

Hi Adonis,
I am very happy to see you trying your best and offering us a nice experience. Learning with you was awesome. The course was short. I would like to see next time that you devote more time to the foundations by this I mean the beginners' part. I wish I could access the course for one or two more weeks.
You are a great teacher and I wish you all the best in your career.
