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
