Loved the beginner classes! Look forward to the classes every week for the fun environment. The classes are great and the social dances are super fun as well. Absolutely recommend!
The classes are always full of laughter and smiles. I started as a reluctant, non-dancer but I was soon caught up in the warm, welcoming atmosphere and now I don’t want to stop!
Picking up salsa has been some of the most fun I’ve had in ages. My teachers Rich & Liv gave us space to experiment while at the some time lots of solid pointers. Highly recommend!
Manly Salsa is a great way to learn to dance and a super friendly and social group of people. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn latin dancing and make new friends!
