We teach you holistically how to become a good dancer, including musicality, rhythm, reading your partner, body control, space awareness, style, AND dope moves. Learn and improve your salsa skills with a selection of our 60 professional dance instructors.
There is no bible on how to teach dance, and the best dancers have learned from dozens of different teachers with unique perspectives. Using a personalized + adaptive teaching approach, we help you gain self-awareness of your own dancing and adapt the instruction as you progress and change.
Immersion is a mix of intensive dance education and cultural immersion with our community of local dancers. The idea is that through this experience, you will experience for yourself what Latin flavor is — through dance, community, and exploring the best of what Medellin and the surrounding areas have to offer. We know the best people, experiences, and spots, and hook it up!
Immersions have 3 hours of private classes per day, Monday-Friday, either from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM, leaving half your day free to rest, relax, sightsee, or book some extras! Night time is when we program the two weekly group classes, the two nights out dancing with your instructors, and the two experiences (sometimes we schedule this on Saturday day). Sundays are never programmed and are meant for arrival, departure, or just plain free day for those spending more than a week with us in Medellin 🙂
We teach Salsa (On-1, On-2, Cuban/Timba/Casino, Colombian aka Caleña + afrolatino styles like cha cha, pachanga and more). We also do Bachata (sensual + traditional) and Tango immersions!
Private classes are customized for you! Just let us know your experience and what you are looking to work on, and we will select your teachers accordingly. On day 1 of your immersion we will diagnose where you are at to co-create a plan that meets you where you are at. There is nothing cookie cutter about our private classes, though we have a tried + proven methodology to help you become more fluent + embodied in salsa.
Your private classes are 3 hours a day split into two classes of 1.5 each, one with a male lead teacher, the other with a female follower teacher. We do this so you receive insights from both leader + follower, translating into giving you a better, more holistic understanding of your dancing.
Yes! Our immersions are for all levels. With over 60 instructors, including several world champions, we provide private instruction personalized to your level and goals. Group classes bring together students with the same dancing style and level, for example intermediate Cuban salsa, or advanced bachata sensual.
This is for people of all ages and backgrounds! The minimum is that you are ready to be active and ready to dance! We actively encourage age diversity as it makes for a more dynamic group, and commonly have participants ranging from their 20s – 60s.
No, you choose what style you want to learn. Caleña salsa originates from Cali in Colombia. But our community of teachers dance everything from On-1, On-2, to salsa casino and caleño. Not to mention bachata, kizomba, tango and several other Latin dance styles.
Group immersion programming begins on Mondays and ends on Saturdays. Sundays are reserved for arrival and departure. For participants coming for 2 or more weeks, Sundays are also a free day!
Private immersion programming follows the same schedule, though we can tweak if needed 🙂
