To Die For Experience / Wholesome - Overflowing with enthusiasm and warmth. They made everyone feel genuinely welcomed and turned learning about another culture into something truly special. An amazing, thoughtfully, and beautifully crafted instructor. I also loved meeting so many fellow solo travelers.

Great fun for the ladies! - We had a great time and they had skirts for every single dancer! There was a big group, which is always cool bc you can take it easy or jump in. There were three males in the class and the teacher barely acknowledged them or talked about how to style movements without skirts. My husband and son left because everything was focused to the women and they didn’t feel welcomed.

Great experience - Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Class oriented and professional. May be given knowledge of the basis of the somba is geared towards women. Not that men aren't welcome .

Confusing Directions. Late Start. - While the experience itself was good, it started approximately 30 minutes late and the directions to the site were confusing. We arrived a few minutes late because we had trouble finding the meeting spot. Because of this, we did as the instructions told us and walked the 10 minutes directly to the dance spot where we expected to find the group. Instead we found a salsa class. We walked the 10 minutes back and eventually found other participants who shared that they had been told it would start 30 minutes late and to wait there. By then my daughter was exhausted. We had to leave before the class ended because she was so tired.

Late start annoying - Wasn’t able to fully enjoy the class as it was supposed to start at 5:30 but the salsa was extended-standing waiting for the class to begin
