"I had a truly amazing time in Medellín!! Everything was perfectly organized!! I really loved my dance teachers (Miguel and Laura <3) and also the group dance classes were sooo much fun!! <3 The immersion was rounded off perfectly with the dinner and visit to the radio station.
As I stayed in a week without an official group immersion, I decided to stay in a hostel during that time, which worked perfectly fine for me and was a great addition to get to know a few more people :). Big, big thanks to the Somoloco team!!"

"What an amazing experience, learning from some of the best dance instructors Medellin has to offer, but not only do they offer professional levels of salsa they are also a bunch of fun-loving, crazy, and awesome people.

The combination of salsa and immersion of what Medellin has to offer was top notch! From experience the comuna 13 by an amazing guide, to having a crazy Paella workshop and also having Alejandra helping us guide us through this amazing experience.
This is by far the best trip I have been on and my only regret is only being here for two weeks ✨

It was such a good experience that even before we left we are already planning our next return 😂
I would highly recommend, or in other words 'hell yes'"

"I recently had the pleasure of taking a 1-week salsa immersion class in Medellin. Not only was the quality of the salsa classes top-notch, but the overall experience offered by Alejandra and her team at Somolocos was nothing short of exceptional.

Upon selecting Somolocos, I was a bit apprehensive that i would end up in either a beginner's, or an expert's class. However, going with the option of having private teachers was undoubtedly the best decision you can make. They assess your current skill level and begin to build on it, regardless of your level or style. Sebastian and Louisa, my instructors, were truly outstanding. They were patient, motivating, and you can feel the passion they have for salsa making the learning process an absolute joy.

For me, what sets this experience apart is that it went beyond just dance lessons. Outside of our private classes, Sebastian and the other instructors took us on a journey to explore the vibrant salsa scene in Medellin. Nights out in local salsa bars allowed us to witness the city's rich culture and experience different salsa styles firsthand. But the immersion didn't stop there; they also arranged dinners with local families, put us live "on-air" on one of the primary salsa radio stations, and included dinners on the town with locals making you feel at home in Medellin.

The improvement in my salsa skills over the course of just one week was remarkable, and if I were to rate solely based on that, it would easily be a 5-star review. However, what truly made this trip unforgettable was the complete immersion into Medellin's culture, energy, and the friendliness of its people. The experience felt authentic and genuine, making me fall in love with the city and its vibrant atmosphere.

I can't thank Alejandra and the entire team at Somolocos enough for curating such a unique and unforgettable experience. I will cherish the memories and skills gained during this trip, and I am already looking forward to returning to Medellin for another round of salsa, culture, and unforgettable moments.

If you're looking for an outstanding salsa experience that goes beyond dance lessons and truly immerses you in the heart of Medellin, I wholeheartedly recommend the team at Somolocos. Its a small investment to have a lot of fun, dance a lot, and enjoy this magical time and culture of Medellin."

"Salsa lessons, well organized from A to Z. Good information in advance. Airport reception punctually arranged. Well situated beautiful hotel location with extensive gym and (coffee) bar.
I didn't know any steps of the salsa dance, so I built up with a lot of patience from the beginning by motivated, always smiling, involved dance teachers.
Also received information about the history of salsa as well as detailed explanation about the rhythm (finding the one ;-))
On some of the evenings we practiced in the Salsa clubs with the trusted instructors.
Nice contact with the European and American fellow students. Also did fun (intensive) yoga classes.
In Medellin you can enjoy good food and walking, there are various excursions to do. One week was great and actually too short. I want to go back again ..."
