I went for a salsa class because I wanted to see if I would like to join the new course starting in October. I was expecting to simply join one of the existing groups for a class and get a feel for what the course would be like, but I was really surprised by the attention we received. Instead, one of the teachers took those of us who were there for the trial separately and basically gave us our own class. It felt almost like a private lesson, even though we had only booked a trial! We had a lot of fun and felt really comfortable. Afterwards, they also took the time to explain the courses and schedules clearly, so I could see what would work best for me. Really nice experience overall and definitely looking forward to starting in October 😊

I love it. I had never in my life danced before, and now, a few months after my first session I find myself looking forward to each and every salsa lesson. Salvador and Angela are excellent teachers, starting from the basics and building up from there. I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable process, and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Very happy to have chosen this dance school. For sure will continue courses as I feel very comfortable with the teachers and the other people coming to dance. Also amazing their dance events. Thanks Salvador and Angela!

Romina Giorgio14 September 2026
Such a lovely experience! The atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming from the beginning, and the class was really fun. The instructors made us feel comfortable even though we were complete beginners. After the class they took the time to explain how everything works and the different options available. We never felt uncomfortable or pressured, which we really appreciated. We left with a very positive feeling and will definitely be back!

We booked a trial class because we were interested in joining the course, and we had a really positive experience from the beginning. Before the class, they sent us all the information by message, including prices, schedules, location and everything we needed to know, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, they explained everything again and we thought we would simply join the group that had already started a course. Instead, they separated us from the group and one of the teachers stayed with us, so it basically felt like having a private lesson just for us even though we had only booked a normal trial class! Afterwards, they took their time again to explain how the courses worked and answer our questions. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, and we never felt uncomfortable or pressured into anything. Most importantly, we had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable there. By the end of the class we knew it was the right place for us and decided to join the course 😊
Jelena Sultana11 September 2026
The salsa class itself was fun and enjoyable, so unfortunately what happened afterwards completely ruined the experience. After the class, we were taken into a room to discuss packages. We explained that we wanted some time to think not because of the price, which was actually very affordable, but because we needed to check our schedules and were also concerned about how overcrowded, extremely hot and unpleasant-smelling the room was. Instead of respecting our decision, the instructor became extremely pushy and arrogant, insisting that we had to decide immediately. He even told my husband that he shouldn’t need to check with me before making the decision, which I found incredibly inappropriate and disrespectful. We also saw the same pressure being put on other students who had just attended their first class. There is a big difference between explaining your packages and pressuring people into buying them on the spot. What could have been a great first experience was completely ruined by an aggressive sales approach and an unacceptable attitude. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

Cristina Martínez García26 August 2026
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)** At my age 52, I thought I would feel out of place, but from the very first session, the group made me feel welcome and included. The atmosphere is warm, supportive, and encouraging. What truly stands out is how much the instructors care about every participant. They take the time to ensure that everyone learns at their own pace, offering guidance, patience, and encouragement whenever needed. I find myself a slow learner but I highly recommend this course It's never too late to learn something new.
