It was absolutely amazing!! The instructor was so easy to follow, extremely courteous and was very attentive, always checking if we have questions or need help. 10/10 would definitely recommend for a beginner salsa dancer

What a gem. Plenty of room to dance or to play a mini arcade game and have a relaxing specialty soda and snack. Tropical vacation vibe. My wife and I took beginner bachata lessons years ago elsewhere but never really understood the rhythm. The instructor broke it down to explain how to lead and follow. He is a very good teacher. We had a great time. I highly recommend this place.

I came here for a salsa event on a Friday night and it was amazing! The ambiance and decor are beautiful. Brandon, the instructor, was friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. He even gave one-on-one lessons! I recommend 10/10 and plan to be back again.
