I appreciate the thorough breakdown of salsa principles and the emphasis on not just learning steps, but truly enjoying the dance process. Being part of this community has been a fantastic experience. I am looking forward to continuing to learn and grow within this vibrant community.
Awesome instructors! Charismatic and passionate. I love the routines - partnerwork and patterns. Also, students are very nice and make you feel welcomed, while instructors make you feel part of the team. I definitely recommend both salsa and bachata classes, specially for beginners!
I absolutely love Vida. I started salsa classes just thinking I’d be able to dance at family parties and I gained community, a new passion, and confidence. All of the instructors are so helpful and patient. Everyone is kind and it truly does feel like family. I never thought I’d do performances but you have no idea where your first class can take you.
