Puerto Rican Merengue Begginer Class

Bomba is a traditional fast-paced rhythmic music and dance style created by African slaves in Puerto Rico over 400 years ago. This music and dance style originated in Loiza and was used as a form of communication between slaves. It is celebrated as a form of self and community expression today. The bomba dancer moves as she wishes, and the drummers follow her lead. Visitors will learn and participate in the rhythms of bomba and appreciate the freedom of the dance style. This activity is different than others because you directly learn from the local community. Sheila, our dance instructor, travels worldwide to showcase Bomba, and she is excited to continue the tradition with you.

Outdoor Salsa Class Experience in San Juan

Fun in the Sun Learning to Salsa (even if you think you can't dance)

Fun, fun, fun! Steven was an excellent teacher. He gave clear instructions and the steps were broken down into manageable sequences that were easy to follow. I wasn't sure what to expect since I had never taken a Salsa lesson, but I was actually dancing Salsa within an hour! I made new friends, laughed, enjoyed the sunshine, and had a blast. If you only have time for one experience while in Puerto Rico, this is it.

Qué Noche! The Perfect Salsa Experience

The salsa class experience was truly maravilloso (wonderful). My husband and I were looking for something enjoyable and lasting — and that’s exactly what we found. I’m an experienced dancer, and my husband is usually a bit shy and reserved, but qué sorpresa! (what a surprise) — Gabby is such a fantastic instructor that my husband let loose and gained so much confidence in just one session. I wish we could bring her back home with us for more lessons! The outdoor location was hermoso (beautiful) — being out in the open air gave the whole experience a unique and special feel. And the salsa nightclub afterwards? That was something my husband and I will never forget. It had none of that tourist-trap energy — it gave off pure ambiente local (local vibes), filled with verdaderos amantes de la salsa (true salsa lovers). No matter your experience level, there was absolutely room for you on that dance floor. Our fellow classmates were just as caught up in the alegría (joy) as we were. With a live band setting the mood, it was electric. ¡Una noche increíble! (An incredible night!)

So fun! We learned so much in one hour!

This was so much fun! We did this lesson on the last day of our trip and it has been a highlight. In one hour, the instructor took us from basic steps to a full circuit. He was so fun and engaging. Both my husband and I really enjoyed this lesson. Would highly recommend.

An Unforgettable Family Bomba Experience

We had such an amazing time doing a Bomba in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 My two younger daughters (7 & 8) joined, along with my 76-year-old mother-in-law, and it truly was fun for all ages. The instructor were patient, engaging, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. We learned four basic Bomba rhythms and routines, and it was such a beautiful way to connect with our culture, music, and movement. 💃🏽🥁 Highly recommend this experience for families it was educational, interactive, and so much fun.

Everyone should learn to Salsa from Juan!

My wife and I ended up being the only students because of rain (there’s no reason to cancel if it rains, we were covered), and we had an absolute blast! Neither of us knew how to salsa and Juan taught us so well that we left ready to hit a salsa club to practice our new moves. Out of all the amazing things we did and saw in Puerto Rico, this was by far one of the most memorable experiences we had, and we have a new friend in Juan. Highly recommend!!

Great Romantic Bday Activity

This was such an amazing experience! I did this with my husband on my birthday and it truly was a beautiful view coupled with so much fun. You will definitely learn the basics and even a little razzle dazzle to make you feel like you can go out and do it on your own. Our guide was amazing, instructions were clear, BOOK IT!

Steven was amazing!

Steven was a phenomenal instructor, keeping the class at a brisk pace while never adding too much to any sequence. We learned not only the basic step, but several moves that my absolute novice partner mastered with ease. Steven’s sense of humor and encouraging spirit buoyed us through the more difficult parts of the class, though I’d say nothing was truly difficult. I’m a more advanced dancer, and he left time to show me a fancy move at the end! His video-taking skills are top notch, we have a great souvenir of our time there.
