Gabby was such an... - Gabby was such an exceptional salsa teacher. We came in without any salsa dancing experience, and Gabby made it so comfortable and easy to learn. She also shared the background and history of salsa dancing, which made it even more special and made us feel connected to the culture of Puerto Rico. We started out just us and Gabby and then she brought us to a popular salsa dancing place for many locals, where we got to see the most beautiful dancing we’ve ever seen. She made our honeymoon so special and we could not recommend this experience enough!

You won’t regret it. - What a great experience! Gabby made learning salsa dance, on a moon light night in Old San Juan, so fun and easy. As salsa music boomed from Gabby’s speaker, we danced as locals and tourists stopped to watch. The spectators swayed, smiled and I’m sure they wished they were dancing with us. The night ended salsa dancing in a local dance club. Thanks for the great memories Gabby. We promise we’ll keep practicing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Beginner Salsa Class – Fun, Easy & Unforgettable! - If you’ve ever wanted to learn salsa but felt intimidated, this is the class for you! I took a beginner salsa lesson with Gabby, and she was absolutely amazing. She made everything so fun, easy to follow, and, most importantly, enjoyable! Gabby is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable, no matter their skill level. She broke down the moves in a way that made them easy to remember, but they also looked smooth and stylish—so I actually feel confident dancing now! What made this class truly magical was the setting. Gabby went above and beyond by holding the lesson outside under the full moon, making the experience romantic and special for Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was breathtaking—dancing under the night sky added such a dreamy and intimate touch to the whole experience. I left this class feeling confident, energized, and ready to hit the dance floor. Whether you’re taking it solo, with a partner, or with friends, this is an absolute must-do experience! Highly recommend—thank you, Gabby, for making this such a special and unforgettable night! 💃✨

Best nightlife experience! - I’m so glad I booked this class! Gabby is a wonderful instructor. She started with a lesson on the history of salsa before getting us ready for the dance floor. The class moved at the perfect pace, with Gabby breaking down each moves in a way that was easy for everyone to follow. After the lesson, we went to a new nightlife spot with a live band where we got to see locals dancing different styles of salsa. Gabby made sure to dance with each student so we got to practice our new moves. So fun! I attended the class solo yet I never once felt alone or bored. I highly recommend this experience. You’ll love it! Thank you, Gabby!

Great experience--fun, accessible, and enjoyable! - I had a great Salsa lesson with Gabby! 3 things stood out to me: 1) Gabby is very passionate about dance, teaching, and sharing her journey to Puerto Rico, all of which make for a very personable class, 2) she is incredibly patient when it comes to teaching--I already knew the basic steps so she taught me new shines and fun combos; I had many (dumb) questions along the way and she answered all of them, 3) through her personality, experience, and teaching method, Gabby makes for a very fun learning experience. After our lesson, we went to multiple Salsa spots and she was very encouraging as I was trying to overcome by fear of social dance. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to learn not only the basic Salsa steps, but also its culture, history, and how it is practiced today!

Salsa with Gabby is a must when in San Juan - Always wanted to learn Salsa and Gabby was the best teacher to learn from. Not only were we by the ocean seeing the incredible views as sunset hit but she broke down salsa in simple steps while also teaching about the history of it. Amazing ! And highly recommend before a night at La factoría!

First timer, great class! - It was my first trip to PR with my girlfriend and I surprised her with this class. Gabby was a great teacher who made us newbies feel comfortable and entertained! She was good at teaching both of us separately as lead and follower and was sensitive to both of our different experience levels. Gabby also provided some salsa history which was a great, unexpected perk. Definitely recommend!
