Salsa Dance Class in San Juan – Learn from Local Experts

1.Salsa Dance Class in San Juan – Learn from Local Experts

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 492 reviews · from $30Our pick

Meet your professional instructor at Laguna del Condado at 4:30 pm for a one-hour salsa class shaped for beginners but open to all levels. Steven, Andrés, Nicole, and Militza have taught these sessions, helping solo dancers, couples, and groups learn LA-style salsa without needing a partner. Expect clear steps, lively music, and a shaded outdoor setting.

“Militza was wonderful she was patient and easy to follow and I would take another class with her. The location was beautiful right by the ocean and quick walk to nearby local restaurants to make for a fantastic night out. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the size of the class felt a little big 20-25 people.”
