Must do! Best dancing class ever! - My friends and I had an awesome time dancing to bachata, champeta, and salsa. Natalia is an excellent dance instructor, spoke English really well, broke the steps in small segments, making the learning experience easy and fun! If you are coming to Cartagena you must sign up for a class!

Fun way to learn Colombian dance basics - Hard to find location (3rd floor of the white banco de Santander building) but fun to learn 3 different dances: Bachata, champeta, & salsa. It was just four of us with a great teacher for the first hour and then 2 other couples joined us for the salsa portion of the class. We laughed a lot and learned the basic steps of each dance allowing us to dance later that evening.

Enjoyable Dance Class - This was such a wonderful experience. Our instructors were friendly, fun, and great dancers. It was easy to follow their instructions and we were able to easily learn the basics of 3 dance styles while laughing and having a great time. We even got drinks and water while there.
I would recommend doing this for any dance lovers or beginners.
Absolutely amazing.

Fabulous and Fun. Book it NOW! - We were the only people who booked the class so we had 2 hour lessons all to ourselves! The instructor was fun and patient. The space is large and comfortable with air conditioning. I would do this again because me and my boyfriend did not want it to end.

It is a Salsa Dance... - It is a Salsa Dance School. We had a very nice and engaged teacher.
But we thought we would have a group course.
Actually we had a single course.

Thanks for wasting our time - Don’t book this experience the day of. They will not care to look at the request, even though they offer a time slot. Then you will waste your time going to the location and even more time waiting for someone to show up, while they won’t answer the phone and aviator won’t be able to reach them either and you will be scrambling to save your evening.
