“Our salsa tour was a blast! Kevin, our instructor, did a great job tailoring the lesson to our level since we had already taken some salsa lessons in the past. We were then able to go out together and practice our skills at some local salsa bars. Kevin also showed us some fun areas of the city to go out and enjoy the rest of our evening.”
Learn Colombian salsa, merengue, bachata, and vallenato in a private Bogotá class with patient instructors and flexible pacing.
“My husband and I (60+) were attending a relative's wedding in Bogota and wanted to be able to hold our own on the dance floor, so we booked a 90 minute salsa lesson. Our instructor Laura was wonderful -- patient and did a great job helping us with the basic steps of merengue and salsa (including the special steps of Colombian salsa). It was a little tricky for us finding the studio, but Laura was responsive and helpful. There's a great big mall across the street if you want to shop and pick up an Uber from there. Highly recommend and we had a great time on the dance floor!”
