We are a group of independent dance instructors in Medellin. We created the community to help newcomers to Medellin find the most appropriate, quality dance instructors. It saves the students the fees involved in running a dance school. And classes can be done at home or in nearby studios to save the travel cost at the same time!
Our Instructors are typically professional dancers who train, compete and perform within dance companies and give classes on the side to support their career. Many of them have competed and won competition at national and international levels.
The Community was created during the summer 2017 by a small group of students and instructors who though both sides would heavily benefit from connecting with each other! We are based in the Poblado, Medellin.
Our Students are usually salseros from other countries coming to Colombia - the land of salsa - to level up their dancing skills with top instructors. A lot of them are advanced students already aware of the quality of the instruction, but we also get plenty of complete beginners.
In the video below, our instructor Lucia provides a brief introduction of the role and purpose of the community. If you would like to schedule a class with her or any of the other instructors, simply talk to us via Facebook Messenger

Get startedWe know how intimidating it can be, and we’re here to help
A private class with a patient teacher is a friendly environment to practice in and a handy way of getting used to the steps and the rhythm. Our instructors are used to teach foreigners with limited or no experience of salsa and will use the right pedagogy. At the same time, being professional dancers, they bring to the table an impressive knowledge and understanding of the music to share with you.
Learning from an independent helps the student develop a personal relationship with his / her instructor. It is very common for our instructors to take out their students social dancing to test their new moves on the field! Being locals, the instructors are able to recommend the best events, the right club at the right night etc. And if they don’t, do not hesitate to ask us directly via Messenger!
