What happens
Group classes get you dancing; private lessons get you dancing well. A professional dancer works on exactly what you need — timing, turns, leading or following, styling.
Teachers rotate and availability changes, so we can't promise a particular instructor. Tell us what you'd like and we'll match you with someone who's free.
Who it's for
Solo travellers or couples who want focused feedback — from first steps to Cali-style footwork.
What to bring
- Shoes you'll actually dance in
- Your goals (a wedding? a Feria de Cali?)
Good to know
- Individual or couples
- Professional local dancers
- Fits around your plans
