Testimonials
I joined my Little Havana two years ago. There is no week without dancing at this amazing academy except if i have work commitments (trips). I love Cuban salsa style, specially Rueda de Casino because there are so many combos and different dancing partners in the same song!! Recently i have found Song and Afro-cuban styles very entertaining. My Little Havana is one of the very few places where to learn them!!!
I found in dancing at My Little Havana an excellent way to balance life: I have got new friends, my soul feels happy when dancing and i enjoy learning nee dancing styles because I can understand better how our bodies move. Jo Anne is an amazing instructor, friend and human being!! She is very passionate with what she does!!!
Highly recommended academy (10/10)

“Guys...no matter what you think, trust me, you can dance! After a very bad experience with a different dancing academy (bachata, not salsa though), I thought I am an "natural anti-talent" :) However, thanks to Jo and her My Little Havana academy, I now not only know I can dance but I actually really enjoy it! It is obvious that Jo loves what she does and she is able to transfer her enthusiasm to students!”
— Adam Pomothy, 2020
I have been dancing with My little Havana now for around 1 year and 8months, for me joining My little Havana has been one of the best experiences of my life!.
2 years ago I moved back to Brisbane after being away for 7 years, I struggled with the transition and missed the community I had left behind!. I started with just one beginners class a week and now am doing upwards of 7 a week! Dancing has becoming a massive outlet for me and I am enjoying being creative again! I love Jo Anne style of teaching and love the fun, happy, attitudes of everyone in class! I love the sense of community that we have at MLH and am grateful for all the new friendships I have formed! Jo is constantly organising amazing workshops with other dances to broaden our learning and experiences!. Jo Anne is an amazing teacher and influence!
Saturday morning classes with Jo and Jessica are definitely my favourite days of the week! Thank you Jo for giving such amazing opportunities at MLH!.
