Great Experience! - Great experience so fun and very solo travel friendly! The teachers were encouraging and knowledgeable. If I had to give one critique is that by the time the lesson started it was dark so I wish it started earlier! One of my favorite experiences I’ve done in PR. Highly recommend.

An Unforgettable Family Bomba Experience - We had such an amazing time doing a Bomba in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 My two younger daughters (7 & 8) joined, along with my 76-year-old mother-in-law, and it truly was fun for all ages. The instructor were patient, engaging, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. We learned four basic Bomba rhythms and routines, and it was such a beautiful way to connect with our culture, music, and movement. 💃🏽🥁 Highly recommend this experience for families it was educational, interactive, and so much fun.

Beautiful Cultural Experience on the Beach – Bomba Dance Class! - We had such a unique and memorable experience at our bomba dance class in Puerto Rico! While the class started a bit later than expected, it was absolutely worth the wait. We learned so much about the history, culture, and meaning behind bomba—the instructors did a great job bringing the music and traditions to life in a way that was both engaging and educational. It wasn’t just a dance class, it felt like a true cultural experience. Being on the beach made it even more special—the setting was beautiful, the energy was amazing, and it created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere for everyone. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with Puerto Rican culture in a meaningful (and fun!) way.

It was OK - Good things: the first instructor was very knowledgeable, there was a live drummer, the instructor took tons of pictures and videos. Not so good: the class started 30 minutes late and ended 30 minutes late, it was Very fast-paced, and our group was very crowded.
