This was so much fun! - Our group really enjoyed learning Champeta and different forms of Salsa. The instructor and host were energetic and really friendly. Our earlier activity ran past its time and we really appreciated them accommodating us. This is a great company for all to experience Afro-Colombian culture!

Dance it out! - The Champeta with us experience was so much fun! We did this activity as part of a girls trip celebrating our 50th birthdays and it was an an equally enjoyable activity for those of us who don't dance at all as well as those who are dancehall divas! The team is amazing, high energy, professional dancers, and will ensure you have Insta worthy video. Take this class alone or with friends, you won't regret it!

Girls trip from the U.S. - Great class — the instructor explained the steps clearly and kept the energy high. It was a solid workout and a fun way to learn some authentic Champeta moves. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to try something new.

Fun dancing for all ages - This was a great family experience that was fun for all ages (18-60). Easy to learn the moves but complex enough to be interesting. It was a hot night, so we had a few breaks with drinks. The hosts were interactive and fun. Would recommend for all ages!
