    I wanted to take a few moments to comment on Fuego Y Hielo Dance Company. Fuquan and Candance have been amazing in helping to further my development and understanding of Salsa Dancing, and its culture. Being a beginner in this form of dance, one of the things that quickly stood out to me was their focus and attention to the details. Their focus on the details is certainly beyond what I expected or have experienced from anyone else who teaches this type of dance. Focusing on the music, Fuquan makes it a point to make sure you understand the structure of the music and songs you are listening to. This is done by breaking down the instruments and melody and making sure that you can identify each and its importance to the song. This has given me a distinct appreciation for the beauty and complexities of the music and has allowed me to greatly improve my dance timing. In addition to the focus on the music, there is a focus on dance technique. I’ve learned to appreciate this because focusing on the proper technique has allowed me to have a better connection with my dance partners and become a better leader. Truthfully, it has made the overall dance experience extremely enjoyable for me.

    New to the Atlanta area, I heard about Fuego Y Hielo through word of mouth so I decided to take a class. I was impressed by the professionalism, technique and style of the instructors. Definitely a unique and fun experience. This is one of the best groups I found here in the ATL so far. I definitely plan to go back!

    If you truly want to learn salsa and bachata, give this dance company, Fuego y Hielo, the opportunity to teach you. Fuquan and Candace, the instructors, are top notch--passionate, professional, and serious about their students learning proper technique, but while still maintaining a fun and exciting dance atmosphere. Additionally, they make sure to keep students consistently engaged in the social dance scene. You will not be disappointed!

    Fuego y hielo has changed my life. I started lessons over a year ago and I still go every week. Fuquan and Cadence are amazing instructors, if you really like to learn and put on some work they are perfect for you. I have improved so much that even my friends from my country (I'm Colombian) have noticed it. Fuegoyhielo is my place where I can have fun, learn and improve my dance skills and specially share with great people and great teachers.

    Fuego y hielo dance company came to my life after an injury in my calf, at the beginning I was little bit nervous, but Fuquan always push me do my best, the instruction is outstanding, they take care about the functional dancing and also offer musical instruction, the footwork teach by Fuquan is terrific, RUNNERS if your thinking in additional cross training dancing is your best option and FUEGO y HIELO is your best option, trust me I reduce my time by TEN MINUTES in a half marathon since I start to include dancing in my cross training
