What Is The Pineda Method?
Step 1 of 3: Understand The Pineda Method
The Pineda Method
Feel stuck despite hours of practice? Let my proven Pineda Method guide you step-by-step to unlock your fluidity, confidence, and musicality—becoming the salsero you’ve always dreamed of.
You’ve spent countless hours practicing and attending classes but feel stuck, unsure how to move forward or break through your plateau.
Your movements feel stiff, you lack fluidity, and you second-guess yourself on the dance floor.
It feels like others are improving while you’re left behind, feeding your self-doubt and perfectionistic tendencies.
This is why I created the Pineda Method Development Framework.
The 5 Phases Of The Pineda Method
I will break your dance development journey down across 5 key phases and coach you through them all until we hit your goals: Mastery of Fundamentals, Body Movement & Mechanics, Musicality & Connection, Technical Refinement and Artistic Expression.
Phase 1
Mastery Of Fundamentals
Break Through Your Plateau
Mastery of the first principles of your dancing is the key to breaking past your plateau.
Phase 2
Body Movement & Mechanics
Unlock Movement & Coordination
Building and opening up your body movement, coordination and control.
Phase 3
Musicality & Connection
Develop The Triad Of Connection
Become consciously aware and capable within the Triad of Connection (Self; Other; Music).
Phase 4
Technical Refinement
Refine Your Overall Technique
Accelerate your dance capability across all areas of dance now that the foundations are mastered.
Phase 5
Artistic Expression
Realise The Artist Within You
You no longer just dance salsa, you are a salsa dancer. An artist.
The Salseros Journey
My Pineda Method 5-Phase Development Framework is perfect for dancers who have realised that the magic in becoming great is not in the advanced classes, its going back to the first principles - the fundamentals.

Lara
Oliver's Student
My name is Lara and I’m currently 20 years old. I started salsa when I was 17 almost 18 with Oliver and my life changed sporadically for the better.
I’ve been through high and low points in my dancing journey. If it was a problem mentally in the studio or personal issues, Oliver was always there to help me flourish. From being at the back of the class and in the corner, to being at the front demonstrating and teaching along side Oliver. I’ve never felt so empowered in my life.
I started dancing to be different and gain another skill, however I had no idea the skills I would obtain, would not only be dance but self perception. I used to see myself as someone who was reserved and I hated my image. After speaking with Oliver, he allowed me to not change but improve the person I already am. I loved who I was becoming, each day looking in the mirror and being excited for training.
I’ve never felt so proud of myself and apart of a community more than Latin motion.
Oliver made a safe and fun environment where I knew I could be myself without judgment.
I pride myself in perfection and dedication to be the best version of myself and Oliver creates a learning space where each student feels like they can do anything.
I will forever be grateful to Oliver Pineda and Latin Motion. I’ve learnt how to flow with each dance step and how to be the best version of myself.
Thank you 😊

Working with Oliver is an absolute privilege.
Why do I make such a bold statement?
Because Oliver possesses a rare and incredible combination of skills that you don’t often find in one person.
Not only is Oliver an exceptionally talented dancer, but his ability to translate his vast experience into valuable lessons for me has been truly inspiring. It’s a joy to learn from him.
What makes working with Oliver even more special is his willingness and ability to share his deep knowledge. His unique talent for connecting with people, understanding the mind-body connection, and communicating effectively to bring out the best in each of us is truly aspirational.
What sets Oliver apart from a great coach to an outstanding one is his commitment to challenging your growth—both in dance and in mindset. He pushes you to evolve not only as a dancer but also as an individual, encouraging you to reach new levels of performance and personal development.
Justin
Oliver's Student
Around 4 years ago I was really frustrated with my lack of progression in dancing. This included my inability to freestyle confidently, and my sometimes awkward connection to music. And I was at the point where I was close to stepping back from participating further in learning. Fortunately, at that time I connected with Oliver and I started doing weekly private sessions.
Oliver was able to identify my weaknesses and work with me on improving my dance skills on a 1:1 basis. And in that time I was able to go from being a below average dancer to, just recently, winning second place in a national mens salsa solo competition which I am very proud of.
But I could not have done that without the devotion of Oliver. I really appreciate everything he has done for my dance improvement and I would highly recommend if you're interested in improving your dance skills and having more fun with your dancing as a whole to engage with him.

Mel
Oliver's Student
Oliver is a fantastic dance coach. His deep understanding of salsa and his ability to adapt his teaching style to fit your individual needs make him stand out. He knows exactly how to push you without overwhelming you, and his patience is unmatched. It’s clear that he truly empathizes with where you are in your journey, and that’s what makes him so effective.
What I appreciate most is that he produces real results. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your skills, Oliver knows how to bring out the best in you. Having a ten-time world salsa champion at our fingertips is something we’re really lucky to have. He’s not just a coach; he’s someone who genuinely invests in your progress.
Jeraz
Oliver's Student
Recently, I embarked on individual coaching with Oliver, and I can clearly see significant improvement in my dance skills. My technique, musicality, interpretation, and dance sabor have all accelerated.
Oliver’s individual coaching program has been incredibly valuable, allowing for accelerated growth in a compressed timeframe. What might typically take years now only requires months of not weeks of training.
Oliver has an exceptional talent for immediately and precisely identifying what needs to be corrected or adjusted in a dancer’s performance. He knows what you need, not just what you want. Equally valuable is the mindset component of his coaching, which I deeply appreciate.
I cannot express how much I value learning from Oliver as my coach, teacher, and friend. Thank you Oliver for the outstanding work that you do!
Farya
Oliver's Student
I have had the privilege of training with Oli in both class and 1:1 coaching settings, and his expertise as a teacher is exceptional. He has a unique ability to
tailor his feedback to each individual, regardless of their skill level.
During a particularly challenging time leading up to a competition, I sustained an ankle injury. Oli provided invaluable support, quickly adapting the choreography with just two weeks to prepare.
Thanks to his guidance, I was able to perform at my best and advance to the final round. I am truly grateful for his dedication, professionalism and contribution he's had to my dance journey

Professional Dancer
I had the privilege of seeing Oliver Pineda for the first time in London 2004. As I noticed his extremely high level of musicality, it struck me with his choreography just how so much musicality could be used.
From that moment I began to follow his career, get to know him more personally & understand that behind such a great dancer, there was not only great technicality but also great musicianship as well.
This in my opinion was the secret to Oliver's success, knowing how to take advantage of his exceptional skills & talents.
Johnny Vasquez
Professional Dancer
A storm from down under, Oliver Pineda caught my eye at the 2003 Paris Salsa Congress for his incredible talent. Over the last 18+ years I have personally witnessed Oliver take the world by storm.
I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with him on a few rare occasions & have also had the honour to teach at his Latin Motion Dance Academy, one of the best latin dance schools in Australia.
Oliver is truly a complete & well rounded artist, not only for his dancing but also as an instructor and choreographer. Oliver with his clean & precisely executed performances has personally inspired me many times to become a better dancer myself & is definitely considered one of the top male dancers in the world today.
Anita Santos

Regarded as one of the most renowned dancers in the salsa world today, Oliver Pineda with his impeccable technique has managed to achieve a unique & desired style, inspired & copied by dancers all over the world.
Besides being an awe inspiring dancer on stage, he is equally an incredible dancer off stage which I am blessed & fortunate enough to have had the privilege of sharing with him on the social dance floor around the world.
