The broke down the steps...

Jordan_J, Nov 2025

The broke down the steps in such an easy and digestible way. Be prepared to break a sweat but it’s worth it!

Amazing

Raischele_J, Feb 2025

Great Class!

Taquiya_t, Feb 2025

Viator has the wrong address listed. However, the owners agreed to walk us to the correct location. We enjoyed chatting with him! The dance class was awesome! You should certainly take this class!! We loved everything about it! The instructor was amazing! I would certainly take this class again.

Great salsa lesson experience for young and old!

My group of 15 family members, ages 20-86, had a fantastic time with our instructors and the staff at Crazy Rumba’s Salsa and Champeta workshop. We learned three Latin dance styles and had a blast with lots of laughs. The studio is easy to find in Getsemani, a short walk from our vacation rental. Highly recommend!!

Thanks for wasting our time

Isabel_K, Apr 2024

Don’t book this experience the day of. They will not care to look at the request, even though they offer a time slot. Then you will waste your time going to the location and even more time waiting for someone to show up, while they won’t answer the phone and aviator won’t be able to reach them either and you will be scrambling to save your evening.

Must do! Best dancing class ever!

Carmen_H, Apr 2024

My friends and I had an awesome time dancing to bachata, champeta, and salsa. Natalia is an excellent dance instructor, spoke English really well, broke the steps in small segments, making the learning experience easy and fun! If you are coming to Cartagena you must sign up for a class!

Ria_P, Mar 2024

We had the best time learning salsa and bachata with Ruben. He was fun and energetic and really was patient. I recommend crazy salsa class!

Very professional and...

Thomas_C, Jan 2024

Very professional and patient instructor, we learned basic steps for Salsa and switched Champeta for Bachata. Would recommend

It is a Salsa Dance...

Elke_F, Jul 2023

It is a Salsa Dance School. We had a very nice and engaged teacher. But we thought we would have a group course. Actually we had a single course.

So much fun!

My instructor was so lively and energetic and her instruction made it easy to learn. Coupled with the music selections, I had a great time.

Fun way to learn Colombian dance basics

Ania_C, Jan 2023

Hard to find location (3rd floor of the white banco de Santander building) but fun to learn 3 different dances: Bachata, champeta, & salsa. It was just four of us with a great teacher for the first hour and then 2 other couples joined us for the salsa portion of the class. We laughed a lot and learned the basic steps of each dance allowing us to dance later that evening.

Fun Dance Class

Jhadielle_W, Jun 2022

Wonderful experience, great instructors. Do it, you’ll have fun 😊 We learned the basics of the different dance styles and had partner practice in the salsa session. Great energy

Fabulous and Fun. Book it NOW!

Victoria_E, Apr 2022

We were the only people who booked the class so we had 2 hour lessons all to ourselves! The instructor was fun and patient. The space is large and comfortable with air conditioning. I would do this again because me and my boyfriend did not want it to end.

La clase comenzó una hora...

Paul_O, Jul 2022

La clase comenzó una hora mas tarde porque se olvidó de cerrar las reservas. No habia un coctél o agua, pero el profesor de clase fue muy profesional y divertido.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Paul, we apologize for this, it was a busy day at the school and you reserve was last minute and we couldn’t organize it well. We will use this experience to improve our reservation system, and would love to make it for you. We will contact you directly. Best, Esmeralda, and your Crazy Salsa team.
