Mark Hip

I'm coming from this class from a slightly different perspective than many other first time dancers. I have actually danced for about ten years now, and most of my social dancing has been through Swing (Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa), as well as some Argentine Tango, and some Salsa before now. I've also been teaching Swing lessons for several years now, so I can understand their perspective as instructors.

I have never seen a social dance in the Knoxville area conducted so well as with Waldo and Jacqueline, especially with the numbers that are present in their classes. It is very easy for classes of over thirty people to devolve into chaos, but their presence keeps people on task. They've got the video recordings and live streaming set up, their control of the music commands attention, and the location has ample space with a mirror to correct yourself. On top of that, their bootcamp leads into level 2 instruction, level 2 instruction leads into level 3, and then they post events for weekends, monthly dances, etc. etc. etc. It's a thoroughly set up pipeline. Frankly, I'm kind of jealous and have plans to steal their technique and implement it in my own teaching. Sorry you two!

​As for the instruction, I'm thoroughly impressed with their ability to include cultural and historical context alongside the dancing. They can easily explain how to dance to different instruments in the music, and they explain steps down to precisely how your feet contact the floor. It's nothing short of immersive, and I trust them when I come to their classes. If you're a dancer or a dance teacher wanting to learn Salsa in the Knoxville area, come learn from them.

YEARS before I moved to Cincinnati, I lived in Knoxville for 7 years. I was here that I first joined a lady's team with Waldo Solano and Jacqueline Solano AND they supported my decision to take their classes as a lead. Thanks to Them, it inspired me to start teaching when I got to Cincinnati and start my own team.

​I'm finally returning to Knoxville to teach and perform at their amazing social "The Salsa Part" Knoxville, TN. I', forever grateful in my start with them, and SO excited to be invited to this event!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

dance instructor | online courses | teacher training

What if I don't have any business experience?

This Coaching Certification program is designed for salsa dancers and instructors of all levels - including complete beginners. This program is for you, even if you currently lack the skills, knowledge, or confidence...even if you've never built a business...and even if you’ve never taught anyone in your life: the program meets you where you’re at, and guides you through every single step of becoming a transformational salsa instructor.

​After you’ve completed the 16-week program, you’ll emerge with the mindset and disposition, the coaching tools and methods, the confidence and motivation, the potential client base, and the business strategies you need to build a highly profitable, fulfilling, and impactful salsa dance business practice. We guarantee it.

What if I’m already an experienced salsa instructor - how will this help me?

Every aspect of the Salsa Instructor Coaching Certification program is designed to maximize your performance, income, fulfillment, and impact as a salsa instructor: even if you already have a stable salsa dance business.

First, you’re getting a brand new set of leading-edge tools and techniques developed and optimized through Waldo y Jacqui's Salsa Instructor coaching certification system: including how you think and strategize as a salsa instructor, how you approach and serve different types of people and personalities, and how you can expand your services to not only salsa dance, but consult on every aspect of your clients’ dance desires.

Second, you will be trained and supported on how to optimize and grow your salsa dance business and your income. If you’ve ever struggled with this aspect of coaching, the guidance you receive in the program will help you secure and retain the right amount and quality of clients, raise your rates or multiply your income without losing clients, and make a bigger impact while maintaining perfect balance with all other dimensions of your life.

And it’s all based on proven salsa dance business models and frameworks we’ve used to grow our own dance business to where it is today.

​Third, you get the support of the Waldo y Jacqui ecosystem itself: our top Instructors and leaders, our next generation coaching technologies that solve many of the challenges faced by salsa instructors, and even our vast global network of salsa instructors and entrepreneurs - as a Salsa Instructor Certified, all our best assets are yours to leverage and grow your business with.

​Will this Certification Program help me get new and/or better clients?

Many salsa instructors struggle to find, retain, and improve their quality of clients. That’s why one of the key features of the Salsa Instructor Certification program is the vast global network you become a part of upon signing up.

As a Certified Salsa Instructor, you’re our valued partner and ally: and you’re treated as such through exclusive invites to our annual business events, speaking opportunities, placements in our salsa instructor directory, and many more opportunities to meet, co-create, and work with many of today’s leading businesses and entrepreneurs who share your values and need your skills.

​By committing to the process and taking advantage of all the networking opportunities available to you, it’s likely you’ll fill up your client bookings within months or even weeks of joining us.

I have a busy schedule - what happens if I need to miss some of the weekly trainings?

Not to worry: you can catch up on your weekly training videos when you get the time. And all live sessions are recorded, so you can watch them at any time even if you miss one.

​The entire coaching program is designed to be flexible and adaptable - so as long as you stay consistent and focused on the big picture, you’ll get all the support you need to reach the finish line.

What time will the live meetings happen, and will they be available in my timezone?

Live sessions will take place on Fridays, 1pm EST. All live sessions are recorded, so you can watch them at any time, even if you miss one.

Do I get an official certificate upon completing the program?

Yes! Upon completion you’ll get an official printable certification that you can add to your LinkedIn profile or any other platform you’d like.

​Will I need to recertify after a certain time period?

This certification is valid for 24 months or 2 years, where your profile will be showcased on our website (https://waldoyjacqui.com/salsainstructors).

We would expect you to recertify after that as we would be constantly upgrading materials and we would want you to always be abreast of it. Re-certification will be at a fraction of the current cost.

This is because we need to ensure that all of our salsa instructors are always up to date with the latest learnings and market trends.

This is also a way to also ensure that your certification will provide you a worldwide recognition that is backed up by a company that guarantees that our salsa instructors graduates can always deliver the highest quality of results.​

What if I can’t finish the certification?

We’re here to support you every step of the way. As long as you block out 30 to 45 minutes/week, which includes the time needed for the weekly live calls, you’ll be fine. Our previous Certified Business Coach program saw 95% completion rates among all students - and we’re confident the vast majority of aspiring salsa will make it to the finish line here too.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

We want you to be overjoyed with your experience. That’s why we’re giving you 14 days (from the start of the program) to decide if it’s for you. If it’s not for any reason - even if you just can’t spare the time for the weekly sessions, you can give yourself a full and fast refund of their payment.
