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.

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 😊

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.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (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.

Membership Terms & Conditions

By purchasing a Plus53 membership, you are reserving your place for the selected course period and agreeing to these Terms & Conditions.

Membership Payments & Refunds

Membership purchases are subject to the Consumer Rights Regulations (S.L. 378.17 of the Laws of Malta) and the applicable consumer protection rules administered by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA).

For online membership purchases where the statutory right of withdrawal applies, consumers have a 14-day withdrawal period starting from the date the membership is purchased online and payment is completed, in accordance with Regulation 10 of S.L. 378.17.

Once the applicable 14-day withdrawal period has expired, membership payments are non-refundable for a change of mind or personal circumstances.

Choosing to stop attending, deciding that the course is no longer suitable for you, work or personal commitments, holidays or travel, missed classes, changes to your personal schedule, or distance from the Academy do not entitle you to a monetary refund.

Missed classes do not reduce the price of the membership and are not refundable.

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any rights that a consumer is legally entitled to under Maltese consumer protection law.

Class Flexibility & Make-Up Classes

The class day selected during registration helps Plus53 organise groups and attendance. However, students are not permanently tied to that specific day.

If you are unable to attend your usual class, you may attend another available class of the same level, subject to availability.

If you miss a class because of travel, work, holidays or other personal commitments, you may request to attend an additional class during another week as a make-up class, subject to availability.

Students may also request to change their regular class day during the course. For example, if your personal or work schedule changes, you may move from one available class day to another without having to purchase a new membership.

These flexible options are provided to help students make the most of their membership. They do not create an entitlement to a monetary refund for classes that the student chooses or is unable to attend.

Class Schedule & Changes

Plus53 reserves the right to make reasonable changes to class schedules, days, times, instructors or teaching locations when necessary.

Students will be informed of relevant changes whenever reasonably possible.

Requests to move to another class, change the regular attendance day or attend a make-up class are subject to availability and the capacity of the requested class.

Membership Credit

If you are unable to continue the course, Plus53 may offer the unused value of your membership as credit instead of a monetary refund.

Any credit granted will be valid for 12 months from the date it is issued and may be used towards an eligible future Plus53 course, subject to availability.

After the 12-month validity period, any unused credit will expire.

Membership credit is personal and cannot be exchanged for cash.

Course Attendance

Purchasing a membership gives the student access to the selected course for the applicable membership period. The membership price is not calculated according to the number of classes actually attended by the student.

Personal absences, holidays, travel, work commitments or other circumstances that prevent attendance do not reduce the membership price.

Where possible, Plus53 will provide reasonable flexibility through alternative classes, make-up opportunities or membership credit as described above.

Events & Additional Activities

Social events, practice sessions, parties or other activities organised by Plus53 outside the regular course programme are not automatically included in the membership unless expressly stated otherwise.

Any applicable entrance fees, tickets or additional charges for these activities will be communicated separately.

Student Conduct

Students are expected to behave respectfully towards instructors, staff, other students and the facilities used by Plus53.

Plus53 reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases of seriously inappropriate, disruptive, abusive or unsafe behaviour, including refusing participation when reasonably necessary to protect instructors, students or the learning environment.

Acceptance

Before completing registration, students are responsible for checking the information provided about the course, including its location, schedule, duration and programme.

By completing your registration, accepting these Terms & Conditions and proceeding with payment, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Membership Terms & Conditions.
