“My son (4) has done a full summer of Salsa with Silvia camp. I can’t express how much we loved it, but let’s just say it’s so much that we switched him from half the summer to a full summer there. It is impossible to get him to leave because he loves it so much. And I should say when I come to pick him up they’re having a full on strobe light dance party. The teachers and counselors are so incredible – they put so much creativity and effort into the performances, and are so thoughtful and communicative with parents. They also clearly do a great job recruiting and supporting staff because they seem to really love being there. Which makes the kids love it too!

To Mr Juan, Mr Mario, Ms Naomi, Ms Allison, and all of the wonderful teachers, thank you!!! Salsa with Silvia is a neighborhood institution and we love having you here.“

“Hi, Juan! I’m Jasper’s father, Ian. He was in the camp you just ran that ended with a recital of the Lion King. He loved camp so much and had an amazing time! Thank so you much for helping him find new ways to express himself and display his creativity. He’s also been trying to understand death lately and the Lion King was helpful in the front as well. Please keep helping kids make beautiful things! You are great at it.“

“Dear Silvia, wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your camp staff this summer! They were so great, communication was thorough, professional, and helpful. The recitals were just fantastic and so much fun. It was clear a lot of thought & time went into it and my daughter had a great experience! It was clear saying good-bye tonight that the teachers really cared about the kids and that Aideen had such a great experience. Thank you!”

Dear Juan,

I wanted to reach out and say many thanks for all your and incredible SWS staff support and facilitation of my daughter’s party yesterday.
It went very smoothly and felt very special.
We had kids of different ages, but everybody liked Bunmi’s art activities (even the adults).
Nilton’s dance activity was everybody’s favorite part of the party. The kids were all over the place, but he was so patient, and his vibe was great. One of the kids at the party has moderate to severe autism and rarely participates in group activities. This boy loved the dance and Nilton was so patient with him while keeping up with all the other kids and the birthday girl. All in all it was great, thank you all so much again.

A bunch of parents asked me about birthday parties and dance classes at SWS, I hope they come back to the studio.
