Super fun and educational!! Love Tito 😂! Please respond with your social media platform that we can see the picture! Please please please please that’s one thing we didn’t get is information about where we can see the pictures. I really had a great time. Thank you so much.
The teacher was engaging. It was a workout, but so much fun. Learned a lot about the culture, music, and dance. Totally recommend
Me encantó la experiencia! I danced bomba with my niece and it was such a fun and inviting experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you and your niece had such a wonderful time dancing bomba together! ❤️ It was a pleasure having you both with us, and we’re glad you felt welcomed and enjoyed the experience. ¡Esperamos volver a bailar con ustedes pronto!
My friend and I had such a good time learning Afro Puerto Rican history through dance. I’m pretty shy but the instructors made us feel very comfortable learning the Bomba.
Absolutely a fantastic experience! I loved learning the history and the dance was pretty easy and fun to learn. A great option for anyone who isn’t interested in partner dance and lines to freestyle :) would book again!
It is a really fun experience where you are able to dance like no one is watching. Great for all ages and dance levels, you don’t need any previous dance experience. You’ll experience great music and lots of laughs!
So you say you can’t dance! Let me tell you that this bomba experience was amazing!!!
The sunset the beach the vibe was everything!! The instructor the drummer amazing!!!!! The pride of Bomba was evident and I’m so proud to have participated in this incredible event!!! My daughter is so proud that this is part of her history!
Attended the bomba dance class on the beach with my nieces, mother and other family ranging in ages from 8-65 and it was amazing. The instructor made this ancestral African dance accessible and created a powerful experience. Very welcoming and empowering experience.
A beautiful experience, i loved learning about puerto rican’s african ancestry through movement. This was a truly spiritual night and i cannot recommend this enough.
The instructor kept everyone engaged. Her energy is welcoming and positive. She gave us all the encouragement to learn something new. I enjoyed every minute. The atmosphere was euphoric and the best weather.
Wonderful experience for all ages. The location wasn’t too difficult to find. If necessary just ask one of the police officers nearby. I suggest bringing some water bc you do work up a sweat. Over all a great learning experience. I’d definitely do it again.
Wonderful. Every minute was joyful and exciting. The instructor kept everyone involved. We danced, sang, and enjoyed every minute of learning tradition dance along with history. Great time for all
This was a last minute excursion and it was the perfect way to end my time in Puerto Rico. The vibes and energy of the musician and instructor was so good for our group. I never knew Bomba would be this fun!
Very welcoming, educational and inclusive of all participants. If you are traveling solo, bring a stand to take sunset pics- or make a friend :)
Fun, informational and engaging. We started a little later than scheduled but we still got the full experience
Absolutely amazing!!!!!
Enjoyed celebrating my African and Caribbean heritage and our universal connection!
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.
Good things: the first instructor was very knowledgeable, there was a live drummer, the instructor took tons of pictures and videos. Not so good: the class started 30 minutes late and ended 30 minutes late, it was Very fast-paced, and our group was very crowded.
Beautiful Sunset view well enjoying a history of Bomba. Instructor and musician were super knowledgeable and encouraging.
This class was so much fun! It was a great workout, too! The skirts were so fun to wear!
Definitely recommend!
Wasn’t able to fully enjoy the class as it was supposed to start at 5:30 but the salsa was extended-standing waiting for the class to begin
This was an amazing experience! More challenging than salsa and learning a lot about the history of Bomba
Overflowing with enthusiasm and warmth. They made everyone feel genuinely welcomed and turned learning about another culture into something truly special. An amazing, thoughtfully, and beautifully crafted instructor. I also loved meeting so many fellow solo travelers.
Whatever you do, don’t book this tour. This tour company is probably a scam. No one showed up to the class and no one has responded to any of my messages including the ones sent by Viator. Do not book a class with this company. It’s a shame because I really wanted to take this class with my mom and we weren’t able to because no one came.
This was an excellent showcase of culture, history & dance. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Must try class if you would like to learn about puertorican culture. The view, the teacher, the class were amazing. The teacher is very knowledgeable and will have you dancing bomba in a matter of minutes.
The Bomba dance class was infused with the historical context of the origins of Bomba in Puerto Rico and the evolution of Bomba. This was coupled with a great dance instructor and drummer.
I enjoyed this experience thoroughly. The dance instructor was informative and entertaining. She challenged us a bit. We laughed a lot. This was definitely a class that anyone could enjoy!
Was great, awesome, teacher was lively, encouraging, energetic, live music and the hour was nonstop.
The instructor was fun and engaging. She also provided a brief education regarding the history of Bomba. I had a great time channeling my ancestors through dance. I would highly recommend.
