Le stage que Malik a eu la gentillesse de faire à casa était très agréable et je tiens à le remercier
ansi que Hassan; je tiens à saluer cette heureuse initiative et j'espère qu'à l'avenir il y en aura d'autres. Il
y avait un nombre important de participants venus en majorité de casa et de rabat et le stage s'est déroulé dans une
très bonne ambiance. Malik nous a enseigné les éléments essentiels de base aussi bien de la salsa cubaine que portoricaine. Merci
à toi Malik et j'espère qu'on aura le plaisir de te revoir dans un proche avenir.
Adnane du Maroc
Je remercie Malik pour sa venue au Maroc, son stage était d'une grande qualité et signe d'un
grand professionnalisme.
Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui on participé au stage et qui ont fait de cet événement
un moment (assez long quand même 14h...) inoubliable. L'absence d'Anass et de ses amis nous a tous marqué, je leurs souhaite
donc un bon rétablissement pour un retour en force sur la piste.
Quelques nouvelles graines de salsa sont apparues
au cours de cette édition, je leur souhaite la bienvenue parmi nous et je vous invite toutes et tous à les aider à s'intégrer
dans cette grande famille de la SALSA Marocaine.
Merci à vous tous et à bientôt pour un nouveau stage.
Hassan ROUISSI de Casablanca, Maroc
Salut Malik, j'espère que tu es bien rentré, le stage était magnifique, on espère te revoir bientôt au Maroc;
(j'essayerai de m'améliorer entre temps)
gros bisous et bonne continuation.

Dear
Malik,
Thank you for your great lesson
yesterday. What me and my boyfriend liked about your teaching was that you do everything methodically, with passion and charm.
You pay attention to the smallest
details which are so important: how to hold hands, how to show “signals” to a girl “translation”,
“rotation”, etc.
Thank you once again and see
you soon.
All the best,
Kristina&Rimas from
Vilnius, Lithuania
You are awesome!!! You are a professional
dancer :0)
Thanx! Take care! Kristina :0), Vilnius

Hola, Malik!

took into account all your remarks concerning my dancing mistakes - I think it's the best way to improve dancing skills ;)
looking forward to hearing from you and hope to meet you in Lithuania again! ;)

Dear Fisherman
Thank you very much
for the great dancing lessons in Tallinn, Estonia. It was real pleasure and you are a very good teacher! (a little too
sexy, too arrogant and too charming but otherwise okey;) Very clear is Fish position now, try not to forget it. Other
positions and combinations need to be improved yet.. And that's why you definitely have to come back!:)
With all
the best your darling fish:P

Hi,
I came to know about tango
argentino in 6.08, in Tallinn. I just want to say that your "lesson" gave me very good feeling and only positive emotions.
I was very sad that I hadn´t salsa.... I just didn´t knew about it. But thank you for that emotion.
With best regards,

Hi!

It was nice to have you here, maybe we'll
see you again this way sometime.
Xavier from Tallinn
Hi, Malik,
I like your teaching.
The style of teaching is such what I expect from teachers. You show mistakes, and say - you, you and you are not correct.
And say exactly what is wrong to whom.
It's good that you could come to our country and that there is possibility
to dance with good dancer, teacher.
Maybe somebody can organized salsa beach party at the seaside or in other place
in order you could see Latvia more :)
Thanks a lot :)
Have nice day!
Linda from Riga, Latvia
I really enjoyed your salsa and tango classes! Your are just different! And i am amazed
by salsa dancing your style and performance. Hope one day i will dance like you. Are you thinking of coming to Riga
again?
Hope to meet you again. Take care and all the best !
Dimitri from Riga, Latvia
I've been learning salsa in different clubs in Hanoi but I've just discovered what dancing salsa really
means. It is when Malik came to our clubs and revealed us the secret of dancing salsa.
What I really
love about him teaching is he taught us the very basic techniques such as translation and rotation, how leaders signal
to followers the moves they are going to make... These are the foundation for us to build upon and add variations later
on once we master the basic techniques. Quickly as a teacher, he earned our trust. Before him, nobody ever explained to
us as clearly as he did the position of the bodies, hands and even fingers, line of movements, visual signal...I love
his metaphors of the "stone throwing" and "yo-yo" movements that made some techniques easier for us to understand. As a
dedicated and very knowledgeable teacher, he also made us aware that dancing salsa is not only an art but also an rigorous
discipline as positions and moves obey to certain logics.
But more importantly, beyond techniques, he made us aware
of the true spirit of salsa, bachata, zook..and this hot intimacy between dancing partners that is not easily accepted
in our conservative Asian culture. I think we will continue dancing salsa but from now not the same way we used to. Our
meeting with Malik really opened our eyes and hearts.
I stronly recommend him for anyone who loves salsa.
Nhanchung from Hanoi, Vietnam
As a tourist: he is so adaptable, ready to take part in any action or to create magic
even in the culture that he has never been to.
As a "stranger": wonderful appearance and social skill, he turns head
wherever he goes, even if all he does is walking.
As a player: skillful use of facial expression and body language.
Malik is the expert at power game, timing, rythm, words.
As an actor: He can "be there" any moment, perfect in creating
little "stage" and his own stardom and connection with his audience, be it on the street, in a meal, a performance,
or in a classroom.
As a dancer: Wonderful body movement, fluidity, music interpretion, accurate leading.. Salsa
is not his best dance.
As a dance teacher: Sharp, clear, strict. He has extreme intelligence and imagination to
convert complicate theory into simple symbols. Malik enjoys breaking down most complicated and hidden techniques, giving
them names that anybody can understand instantly, comparing them to down-to-earth and interesting examples from daily
life. It requires more than just a decade of dance exprience and tones of knowledge to be able to teach like he does. Malik is
perfect at analysis, he can break thing down in the most technical and scientific way, then he with his emotion and imagination
of an artist he transform them into something beautiful and incredible that any student can imagine. No words can
describe. I tried.
As a person: A big personality, a heart of gold.. . Too much to handle, given how attractive
and talented he is. Malik is like an interestingly mixed meal in a shiny catchy hotpot!!!!!!!
We will miss him alot!

Ton FAN Mohamed, Maroc
Coucou Malik,
Je voulais te remercier et te dire que ce stage était tout simplement
"magnifique". J'ai appris beaucoup de choses grâce à toi, corriger mes erreurs et surtt me laisser guider ;-p...je dois encore
travailler mes tours, mais je te promets que ça va venir. Certes, je vais pas atteindre le niveau de yasmine (maroco-vietenamienne.
Normale, elle a appris à faire des pirouettes dans le ventre de sa maman ;-p)...mais vu que je suis une élève attentive et
sérieuse, je vais maîtriser au moins les 3 tours ;-))...chose promise, chose due. Tu vas être épaté lors de ton prochain passage
au maroc ;-p. Je suis piquée par le virus "Salsa" ...chui foutue, mais j'adore ça ;-)
Je te fais un gros bisou
et je te dis à très bientôt.

Mr malik vous etes un prof genial, votre façon d'enseigner ainsi

I really enjoyed the workshop
Totally cool, absolutely fun! Great techniques. Hope 2CU again
Really enjoyed it. A breath of fresh air - hope to see more ! Thank you
It was an interesting experience. We enjoyed the whole thing and we hope to do it again soon Great!
Teacher friendly - easy going and concentrates on techniques which was needed.
The lesson was great, exciting and fun
Usefull information about leading and to feel a lead, to follow partners. Excellent acrobatic move
Total fun. Very cool. Exciting. Great techniques
I enjoyed too much and hope you repeat it
Extremely vibrant professionals lesson, the basic firmly & strongly taught with obvious passion
He is strict but I think this makes a good teacher. Very good. Thank you
Wonderful, but short. Therefore the speed of teaching was a bit too fast. But I enjoyed and want more
Enjoyable, interesting techniques. I liked it overall because
I learned new moves which is why I came
Malik is the best
Total fun. Very cool. Exciting. Great techniques Big personality
He is awesome
Students from Cyprus
I think that your lessons were very interesting and very useful for me, although I was
not able to take the full advantage of them. I had not know the Cuban Salsa before, so I was not able to learn it so fast.
If you will have workshops in Lodz in the future I will probably want to take part in them and maybe I will be able
to stay to the end.
Anyway I admire your greed for teaching people salsa. Thank you for coming and teaching us.
With
best regards,
Robert Zielewski from Lodz Poland e-mail: simplum@wp.pl
Your way of teaching is really excellent and
I really enjoyed your attention to technique and details people normally don't think of. Add to that your unique style
and presence, and you'll understand why we liked you so much here in Cyprus :).
Take care and continue with the
good work!
Dusan from Cyprus
MAAALLLIIIIKKKK !!! You were great in November
when you came over to Cyprus. Your fun and healthy attitude towards social dancing is great. I've been working on your
technical tips and it's improving my following.. sometimes it's just something small that has big consequences ;-)
but someone has to see it and you did. Your teaching during workshops almost requires a wip LOL. Well done and thanks,
Saskia from Cyprus
So, before having the MALIK training i was dancing and learning salsa just for fun, i tried
to dance as better as i can just by following the man lead and over all by followin the music rythm it was sympatic but
i also had problems on executing complicated figures but i was saying:"no matter its not my fault, i'm not a professional,
its a problem of boy leading and its a too difficult figure.....". happily i was able to undergo MALIK's training and that
really makes the difference. during the course i discovered a very handsome professor, dancer and above all a very great person.
the must that i appreciated during the lessons was the ability that MALIK had for simplifying teaching salsa. he emphesizes
on the importance of knowing and well practicing of basic tecnicalities which will allow us (either boys than girls) performing most
difficult appearing combinations. the lesson was done step by step and the dancing becomes more easier: the man had to lead,
that's obvious, but how to lead???? that's more difficult. leading is not obliging, its proposing: a good leading is
may be made of many little details but these many little details make the difference. simultaneously lady must follow, but
how to follow???? it must be a permanent and active follow... not only executation of known figures. during the MALIK training
we had the proof that all the kind's of salsa dancing are not only turns, cross body's or shows they are first of all
knowledge of basic signs and tecnicalities. when you dance after the training you feel like you've never danced before
but in reality you've never danced like this before. the "PLUS" of MALIK's training is he transmitt you his love for salsa,
his devotion for dancing appears all along the lesson. you learn without the feeling of having a lesson and you feel able
to dance with evry body evry where, but when you dance with malik you unhappily realize that good dancing is a hard task............
but you'll keep trying cause you'll have the keys for doing better. now you know that salsa is a big international family
with a commun lungage of which you now possess the alphabet . SO HERE IN TUNISIA WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR MALIK'S NEXT
TRAINING....................

Dear Malik and Sensual,
It was great having you here in India and sharing your knowledge with my students.
Its nice to know how focused and passionate you are about Salsa..Just like me..lol
It was great having you here and hope to see you guys soon.
Take care.
Viva la Salsa!

I will try to improve my Salsa skill. In fact, I dance Salsa just for fun. I do not want to
make it serious. However, your comments and recommendations are very useful to us.
By the way, the fact is that you
led very well and very clear. Thanks for being such a nice instructor and dancer.
Finally, hope you and Sen enjoy.
Take care,
Bien amicalement,

Malik and Sen are a legend. I am a little bit emphatic, it is true, but I spent such a great moment
with them that I cannot help being so enthusiastic about them.
I am from Casablanca, Morocco, and they came last summer for a 15-day-intensive course: each day we
had 3 hours lesson and then, we used to go out in dancing places to practise and enjoy.
My passion is dancing and not only did I find in Malik an amazing dancer, but I highly
appreciated his talents as a great teacher: he knows how to transmit his art with pedagogy, humour and authority. He is professional,
rigorous, and thanks to him, I learnt a lot. The good teachers are those with whom you learn, and who make you feel like going
on and learning more and more. Thank you so much, AND COME BACK SOON!!!!!
Pour les francophones, je dirais seulement que le stage de 15
jours que nous avons fait avec Malik et Sen a donné une autre dimension à ma façon d’aborder
la salsa et de la danser. J’ai adoré ces cours rigoureux, exigeants et très riches. Malik est un personnage, il est
charismatique et dégage une énergie à laquelle on ne peut qu’être sensible.
Un stage de ce genre tous les 2
mois, j’en redemande !! Pensez-y
Maha de Casablanca
I hope your trip is going well...And thank you so much for visiting us...I was so pleased to meet you...You are so sweet
people...and so good salsa dancers...thank you so much for everything...hope one day we'll have a chance to invite you here
again...so maybe my future skills will help me to organize sth for you here;)...:):):)...
Best regards to Malik:)
Have a nice trip!!!...Kissssssssessssss:)
Ieva from Vilnius
Mr. Malik came to our town Bratislava in july 2005 and together with our
salsa lector Miro Vanek had decided to organize a 2 hour rueda lesson. We
have started with basic warm-up, different kinds of salsa steps, including sexy step:-).
Then we have formed a rueda circle and tried simple figures in the beginning
which had become more complicated towards the end of the lesson as our French lector added various
elements.
We even improved our salsa style, girls had to be really feminine and more use their hands for example
caress their hair. Guys had to pay attention to lead the girls properly.
The impression from the workshop was fine, we had a good laugh when somebody misunderstood what exactly
should be done.
And afterwards everybody had a good feeling because we learned something new and had a really good
time.

Malik and Sensual in Estonia 2005
We met Malik and Sensual in Estonia June 2005, they gave many great classes and performances.
For us (dancers and teachers of ballroom and latin and salsa) they gave great foundation for teaching salsa. Many teachers
don't have the ability to teach salsa technique from the very beginning and don't have the system that Malik
have. It's the most useful for us.
As a persons Malik and Sensual were very plesant and fun. We had a great time.
We hope that you will remember the dog the Estonian sauna and of course us

Salut malik
On se rappelle toujours des beaux jours que tu as passé chez nous, tout le monde me demande quant
tu reviendras chez nous. Pour ma part, maintenant, j'enseigne la salsa cubaine d'une maniere identique que toi. J'ai
beaucoup apprecié ta facon de faire.

Dear Malik!
I remember spending time with you this summer with very warm feelings. I just
came today from salsa festival in Warshow, Poland, and I can say that you are between my favorite salsa teachers so far! I
hope to meet you again soon. I guess you must be very busy, but you know, once you'll have to visit all those beatyful ladies
you've met! Would be another world tour for you! ;) Anyway, once I go to France, I hope to see you and Sensual there, as
you both are friends that I don't want to lose contact with. Salsa people are the best!
Keep in touch, my dears!

Overview of the
Malik & Sensual Seminars
Sofia (Bulgaria)
My first meeting with Malik was in club “Salsa+” in Sofia, Bulgaria. I was very impressed when I saw Malik at first time.
He has own style of dancing either Cuban salsa or LA or other salsa
style. Also I like very much his bachata style and zouk dancing with Sen.
According to the salsa teaching. It was a very big surprise for me, because he
is one of the few salsa teachers which explains the basic principles of leading in salsa. No one in Bulgaria explains this, except Anjel Lopez, but now he is not in Bulgaria.
The atmosphere in his class is very light and gentle, because he explains
very easy and in a good level for the students.
About Sen I can just say Tenderness, Mellowness and true spirit of
ladies way of dancing salsa.
She can teach without words. The student only need to be calm and
soft, she will doing everything to show the correct way of leading, especially in LA.
I have no enough words to say more about Malik and Sen. We need to
dance to feel the whole thing and to get their experience in latin dances!
I am honored to know them as a friend and to be a part of their classes.

I would like to say many thanks for a Salsa couple from France - Malik & Sensual - good teachers, nice and friendly
people... I and my dance club members enjoyed their salsa lesson so much. We were dancing for 3 hours
and it was great and so quick! Now we have some new figures and a few new steps in our salsa - thanks to them! This year
I and my partner-girl Laura won the 3-rd place in Salsa championship in Vilnius between professionals. So, thanks for
my teachears - Malik & Sensual. Arnas from Kaunas, Lithuania. Ballroom dancer, Hobby class.

From :Gianni & Su Bangkok : September 2005
Dear Malik & Sensual, I hope you remember us in "Fogo Vivo" and "La Rueda" where we have had really big fun
with you together with Bangkok salsa group. We all miss you very much and we hope you can keep your promise and your schedule
to be back to Thailand on April 2006. I am Italian but for work reason I'm based in Thailand since long time and
I have been dancing salsa all around the world since almost 5 years. Here in Bangkok we have had many and various
instructors in transit but I have never seen one like you. Besides your modesty and semplicity you are really a
great instructor. You teach with passion and high tech system easy to undertand because it follows the logic,consequently
once we get the move that you teach it can never be forgotten. You're the only one that,even during intermediate and advanced
class,enphasize the basic moves which are the key to dance a smooth salsa. I am very happy to have meet you because with
you I have enriched my salsa with various beautifull new mooves,with more style wich I show very proud on the dancing floor.
Furthermore I need also to say to whom we'll read this message, that I have found Malik a really good person,a good friend
that deserves high consideration.
"Sawadee Krap" and Regards to you, une embrasse a Sensual See you soon

It was a nice week, many things to talk about, but I'll be short:
Good teaching technique, very organized (you are a math teacher ! ), well documented. I don't really know what to say about you as a dancer, because your style is very diferent
from what I know.Good skills perhaps.
Very much fun to hang around with you.
Best regards and good luck to you both,
Radu, Bucuresti, Romania (salsa student)
Hi, Malik :)) It let me remember this summer and nice days with salsa and with realy great company
:)
I was trying to visit other teachers after you and now can say for sure: YOU are the best :)) Maybe
other teacher dance good and show steps good too but you let other (for example - me) start to LOVE this dance and not
afraide start to try it... I can say only- thanks, thanks, thanks. I hope to meet you and Sensual again. My best wishes!

Dear Malik and Sensual, I`m Nanni from Vienna /Austria. We met in July this year at a Salsa party, the day
I first got in contact with dancing Salsa at all. I was deeply impressed by these highly aesthetical movings, you in special
I experienced as a highlight! I can only offer some impressions I had concerning you as a teacher – but these
are as positive as they can be! You instructed my friend and me - which luck – and these hours influenced my life positively.
While dancing I felt my heart becoming one with the “rest” of me, especially with my body. Although I was very
tired, because you thought us very much very quicky (so we learned very much very quickly ;)), I truely enjoyed these lessons
so much. I experinced you not only as a highly aesthetical dancer and leader in dancing (meanwhile i danced with several
teachers, but no one lead as sensitive and clearly as you), but also as a person having the talent to enthusiasm people surrounding
you. You seem to be a very open human being and your professional way of teaching Salsa - I experienced you as very pedagogical and
emotionally envolved - is an enrichment for all dancers. I am grateful I met you, because you really motivated me to
attend dancing lessons again (I am oriental dancer originally) and that you opened that world of Salsa to me. Wishing
you and Sensual all the best, looking forward to hear from you and see you again, Nanni (Marianne), Vienna / Austria nanni.eitzenberger@gmx.at
Thats very good news that you are comming, so pitty it is only next year. You and Sensual could come
here more often.
All the best from my heart to you and Sensual,
Jelena from Tallinn
As for the comments from my side. It was really cool having You here. You and Sensual provided us with a universal
information regarding various salsa styles. That was highly useful for all of us. We enjoyed Your workshops with a very
students-friendly style of teaching – rotation, comprehensive clarifications and also the atmosphere that You create
within Your workshops!
Thanks again for coming here and please consider combining trip back here to Vilnius if You will be arranging some
workshops in the neighboring countries, like Estonia or Latvia…
Many kisses and hugs to You and Sensual.
With my warmest wishes,

First moment we saw them, we enjoyed their company a lot! Malik is very easy going and Sensual is
very gentle and cheerful person. We are not dancers at all, but Malik teached us a little bit so we know some cool tihngs
now :) We participated in a Malik's workshop, where we were learning Salsa with other experienced salsa fans. :) Malik's
manner to teach is very involving, he pays attention to every person in a class, he shows the movements to everybody, he also
told us to change partnes every time, plus Malik he has very nice sence of humor, so we had a lot of fun there! From now I
am salsa fan and I want to dance salsa more and more! Thanks Malik, looking to see you here again this summer!!!

Hi Malik and Sensual
I enjoyed both your dancing and your teaching. Hope you will both come again to Greece and will let me know in advance
so I can come to repeat the pleasure

I got myself to Malik Roy's salsa workshop - and wasn't disappointed.
Malik, from France is
embarking on a petit tour of Europe, kicking off in Estonia (Tallinn & Tartu) and Lithuania and ending up in India and
Thailand for master classes via a long-long list of countries.
Malik focused on Puerto Rican and Cuban style couple
moves. Starting with basics such as cross body leads, Malik gradually built up some smooth routines. For myself, the pace
was, just right. Neither too fast or too slow.
The classes were nicely filled with plenty of space to move & see
the instruction and for once the balance of guys vs gals was right, meaning it was very rare for any girl to have to stand
around waiting for a partner. Plus Malik implements partner rotation ensuring everyone gets to meet everyone and see who they
would like to dance with in the future. For those who could't make it, there is a chance to learn taught routines with
your own local teacher, as among students were also four instructors who are represented under Salsa.ee - Sven-Silver, Pirje,
Peeter ja Diana.
Half blind with a duff eye, I had to duck out midway through the cuban lessons and missed the evening's
party but would have liked to have stayed longer. All being well, as Arnie says, I'll be back. Esteban

Hola a todos!
I took part in Rueda de Casino and Salsa Cubana trainings with French
salsa teachers Malik Roy and his partner Sensual and I would like to share my impressions with all of you.
The main
positive thing was detailed explanation by Malik of basic steps and leading techniques as well as basic patterns, for example
dile que no and enchufla. I absolutely agree that without knowing basic things about correct leading, proper basic steps and
basic turns, how to keep balance and to switch directions it is not possible to move further with you dancing skills. At that
point the trainings were great for beginners to learn properly the basics as well as for intermediate/advanced dancers to
recall and to improve the fundamental things.
The Rueda de Casino training was mostly targeted on principles of dancing
Rueda - correct position of partners, moving in a circle, changing partners.
During Salsa Cubana training we got into
such patterns as Dile que no, Enchufla / Enchufla doble, Flamenco, Uno and Dos. Imho many of us started to understand better
the Cuban style of salsa.
Though the classes were useful for everyone still both trainings were mostly aimed at men,
unfortunately only few our guys showed up, big Thank You goes to them anyway
So please if you are still thinking of going/not going to Malik and Sensual trainings do not hesitate anymore Use your chance to learn something new and interesting and to look at new teachers.

Thank you for visiting us and giving an excellent series of workshops. You made us realise
the things we were doing wrong and how to do things better. I really appreciate your teaching style which is the most
effective way of teaching salsa I have come across. We were all really amazed at the tricks class, how you made something
that seemed so difficult be so easy.
Inside the class you are a strict taskmaster and many people were nervous,
but outside of the class you are a warm a friendly person. It was a real pleasure to meet you both and we all look forward
to your return visit.
best regards and big kisses to Sensual Bangkok DJ Damian
Nom: Amal MALIK Ville: Casablanca Pays: Maroc
J'ai assisté aux deux semaines de stage que Malik a donné
sur Casablanca, je ne peux que dire que j'ai été satisfaite par ses prestations.
Pendant les cours, il faisait preuve
d'un grand sérieux et d'une pédagogie irréprochable, ce qui est, à mon avis, très important pour captiver la concentration
des élèves... je trouve qu'il communique bien l'information puisqu'il a une bonne maîtrise des techniques et c'est justement
ce que je veux qu'un prof m'apporte. En tant que danseur, je trouve qu'il guide bien et qu'il est patient avec les
débutants ( dont je fais partie :-p) Concernant Sensual, les fois ou elle intervenait dans les cours, ses remarques
étaient tjs un plus surtout pour les filles. Pour une danseuse, je crois que le plus important c'est d'être "guidable"
et Sensual l'était sans difficulté même en dansant avec des salseros de style tout à fait différent de celui de Malik
et d'ailleurs loin d'être des débutants! Sur le plan personnel, même si je pense qu'on n'est pas en mesure de juger son
prof, je trouve que ce sont deux jeunes gens, qui aiment la vie, ne manquent pas de courage ( leur périples le prouvent)
et ont un très grand sens de l'humour, personnellement, ça m'a fait plaisir de faire leur connaissance et je ne refuserai
pas de les revoir le plutôt possible. S'il y a plus de 35 % des gens qui les ont fréquenté lors de leur tournée internationale
qui partagent mon avis, Jésus-christ risque d'être jaloux!
Gros bisous les amis
Que vous dire de plus, que je vous attends de pied ferme! Ca résume bien ce que je pense de votre passage parmi
nous. Ca a été un vrai bonheur de se faire enseigner la salsa par Malik et d'être conseillée par Sensual. Pour résumer:
Malik, très pédagogue, sérieux dans ses cours, donc efficace, charmeur (ça aide à apprendre plus vite ;-) et charmant (du
coup on en redemande… ;-). Sensual, un peu effacée pendant les cours (on a bien compris que c’était Malik
qui voulait enseigner), mais ses interventions étaient toujours la bienvenue et sa compagnie très agréable. Autrement
c’était un réel plaisir de vous voir danser… En espérant vous voir très bientôt, je vous embrasse bien fort.

to be in Poland in January!!!
We will be very happy to wellcome you on our workshop, because after your last visit we know
you are a really good dancer and teacher!!!
Best regards and kisses for Sensual
In the name of the school of dance "Salsa Friends & Family",
I hold to thank you for your visit. We were very impress by your will, your patience and your training technique . We descover
in you a very good teacher, a passional dancer, an onest and a good friend. We also admired Sensual, who made us notice
that the beauty of the dance comes most of all from the spirit and not only from the out side look.
Most of all we thank you for the details you teached us like : name
of the movements, the look in to the eyes of the partner, try to seduce him etc., things that will be very usefull
for us.
Personally I will like to dance with you again zook, and why
not with Sensual also ( you've seen that we look good together) :)...
We would be very happy to meet you again and untill then we hope
we'll keep on touch by e-mail.
Miss you already,
Ana

Dear Malik and Sensual,
First, let me tell you we miss you guys already and hope to see you as soon
as possible. Of course, we are sure we are going to stay in touch by email.
Now, to answer your question, and this
is not just from Dragos and Raluca, but also from Dana and all our students who participated (Alina, Mihai, Lacramioara, Pastorel),
we were very pleased with the workshop. You are very good teachers, make yourselves understood easily and are able to explain
things logically.
A special thank you for you two from Raluca and myself for the private class, which was very helpful.
We are certainly going to work on all the issues we’ve discussed.
As for your dancing abilities, not that we
are in a position to judge, but we were impressed. We loved dancing with you and watching you dance (and no, Raluca will not
dance the zouk, so she’s telling me… haha!)
About you as persons – let me put it this way: if we
hadn’t liked you guys, we wouldn’t have spent so much time in your company!
To end, please remember to
drop an email every now and then… and don’t forget to upload all the pictures on your site – we’d
love to have them all! We’ll share what we shot as well!
Ok, gotta go now!
A big hug for you both from
us and see you as soon as possible!
