We connect you with a Latin dance instructor in a matter of minutes. Text us via Messenger or Whatsapp, let us know your objectives and we’ll find a teacher next to you. Or join our intensive bootcamps and dance retreats in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico!
We are a community of independent dance teachers that helps visitors connect with skillful, highly qualified dance instructors. We are present in Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and México and we are working hard to expand to new places!
Our Instructors are generally dance professionals who work fulltime for dance companies. They also teach on the side to financially support their careers. The majority of them have been awarded national or international prizes.
Our Community wants to connect with visitors and help them enjoy salsa the way we do! This idea was so nicely welcomed by everyone that we had no option but to expand to other big cities in Colombia and other Latin American countries.
Our Students are salsa lovers from abroad who come to Latin America to improve their dancefloor skills with highly professional instructors. We teach everyone from very beginner to advanced levels. You are more than welcome to join us!
In this short video, our teacher Lucia introduces you to the spirit and drive of our community. If you’d like classes with her or any other of our fabulous instructors just shoot us a text on Facebook.
Encouraging students to learn in a piecemeal fashion through group classes is inefficient at best. Over ⅓ of people who start in level one drop out by level two. And those that finally do reach a higher level class, don’t necessarily feel dance as a language they fluently speak. And that’s after a couple years of dancing already!
We truly believe that immersing yourself in a context of a holiday where dance is cultural paramount will help you boost your skills and make you learn much faster, and what better way to do so than by traveling? That’s why we created our intensive Bootcamps and Dance Retreats!
With a Bootcamp, you can choose the city of your preference and have private classes with a professional dancer every day of the week for as long as you wish to. If you’re looking for a more cultural experience, a dance retreat will be great for you! You can enjoy a big festival and learn how to dance in the process! A lot more details here
We are a platform that connects you with local professional dancers. This has numerous advantages compared to attending a dance school.
Easy process. Just message us on Facebook and answer a couple of questions in our bot. We’ll match you with the best instructor available and then we’ll contact you directly to arrange the first class.
Personalized service. We carefully select the most suitable teachers based on your profile, needs, and goals. We consider your dance level, class focus, etc. You name it, we get it done.
Experienced teachers. Our community is made up of the cream of the crop. Teachers go through a rigorous selection process to meet the highest standards of teaching training, skill level, vibrant personality, and professionalism.
Money Saver. Since we work on our own, you get to save all the administrative costs of running a dance school, like paying rent, utilities and the like. You get great classes for less money!
Support local dancers. It’s a shame, but most of the time, dance schools only pay teachers about half of what we do, sometimes even less. Book classes with us and support your local salseros!
