Gabby was so patient and kind! I had zero salsa experience and I am so excited to take what I learned in PR and join the social dance scene at home. It was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend her to anyone.

Gabby is such a phenomenal instructor, 10/10 recommend. She created such an inclusive and fun environment — even making what seemed so impossible, possible (aka a right turn). She paid close attention to detail and was able to help everyone individually. Gabby also gave us history on Puerto Rico and Salsa, amazing time!!!

Gaby was amazing! She was incredibly patient and explained every step in a way that made learning easy and enjoyable. Her positive attitude and clear guidance made the whole experience comfortable and fun. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great instructor!

Gabby was great! She gave clear instructions, made salsa approachable, and gave the most advanced folks some fun tips and flair. This is very much a beginner class!
Then she took us to La Factoria for the live band!

Gabby was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher! She made everyone feel comfortable and communicated well both before and during the lesson. She took us to a really authentic lively salsa club and we got to practice there! Great for solo travelers to meet others. Highly recommend!

Gabby is a great teacher, patient, knowledgable and fun. I booked the class solo and was able to meet some great people and had a really good night. Would definitely recommend to anyone - solo, couple or group.

Gabby is a great instructor for all level. Me and my partner were beginners and she made it easy and fun for us to enjoy. She is a great resource of history of Salsa and culture. This class will be our unforgettable part of the trip for sure!

This was one of many of the best experiences we had on the island! Our instructor Gabriella was phenomenal! We had a class back in September of 2025 and had to do it again in 2026. Its fun, and knowledge and the vibe always hits right. If one is looking to learn some basics with flare and fun, she's the one to bring it to you. Her personality and professionalism is always top notch.
My husband who had two other classes somewhere else was so excited he got to experiences with this Borinkin! She had him confident on the dance floor and smiling and laughing through the whole experience. We will always highly recommend this activity when on the island. Whether you want to refresh the basics or are familiar with the moves, the nightlife she brings with instructions is fantastic! Looking forward to doing it again next yr when we come back. It's a must do and definitely with her especially if you want a fun and positive experience.
Our instructor broke down the steps to really easy directional steps, assisted with putting it altogether all the while giving great feedback , fun, laughter, and a positive experience my dance partner will come to remember the joy of dancing like if no one was watching.

GABBY, was a phenomenal teacher, intentional and gave us a lesson on the history of Salsa! They were patient and thoughtful in providing the lesson and then took us out to practice in real time in the heart of San Juan. Felt safe, fun and welcomed! Old absolutely book again!

We had the best time dancing with Gabby! My friend had never danced before and Gabby was so patient and kind! We truly appreciate her educating us on both Puerto Rican culture and the history of the island. I can't recommend taking her class enough- don't leave Puerto Rico without dancing with Gabby!
Jennifer_C, Jan 2026
Gabby is a great teacher. Breaks down the moves very clearly and goes at just the right pace.
Best part was going to a local hot spot afterwards. Dancing on the beach is all fine but a night at the salsa club was the best.
Love how she is so inspired by the history and culture. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Will definitely seek her out next time I'm on the island.

Gabby is very patient and flexible! Really makes sure you understand the basics, all while teaching you some history. If you think you can’t learn it, Gabby will help you gain confidence and realize you can. She took us to a great location to dance after. I was celebrating my birthday and Gabby helped ensure it was memorable. Amazing experience overall! Would do it again!
Demi_E, Nov 2025
Gabby’s a great teacher and great at breaking down the steps so that they make sense and feel natural.
Gary_P, Oct 2025
Gabby was a wonderful instructor. She did a great job of teaching me the basic steps, as I had zero experience prior. My wife picked it up faster than I did, but Gabby made sure to keep working with me, and got me up to speed. On top of the moves, she also gave a brief history of the dancing style, it's place in the culture, and she continued to give us interesting facts about Salsa ans Puerto Rico throughout the evening. She was incredibly supportive to this first-timer, and it was apparent thay she truly wanted us to learn, and enjoy ourselves. After the class, she took us to a salsa club, and turned us loose on the dance floor, hung by us, and helped get us going, ans keep us on track in the club! We had a great time, and I would recommend this to anyone.
She asked me prior to our class about our experience level so thay she could tailor the class to our skill level. She danced with my wife for a song at the club, and was incredible! I imagine she could teach any level a thing or two. 10/10. We had a great night.
Alaina_P, Sep 2025
We had so much fun and really learned to salsa dance with Gabby! We learned the basics and are ready to learn more. Highly recommend taking this lesson early in your visit, you will set yourself up for a great time on the island.
Attalia_B, Sep 2025
Gabby is an amazing salsa instructor! She breaks down every move and makes it so simple that you’ll be dancing salsa with the locals that same night! I absolutely loved my experience with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone! Don’t miss out on an amazing experience while in PR and book your salsa lesson with Gabby!
Veronika_L, Sep 2025
Absolutely incredible! My friend and I arrived with zero experience and had so much fun learning how to dance but also felt confident enough to dance at a club at the end of the night. Gabby was an absolute gem; her teaching style and personality are fantastic. I can't recommend this experience enough.
Emily_R, Aug 2025
Gabby was incredible! Great teacher, made it super fun while sharing cool facts about the history of where salsa originated. After our class we went to The Wheelhouse where we were able to practice our new moves! 100% recommend this class!
Cindy_S, Aug 2025
This class was such a fun experience! Gabby was incredibly patient and always checked in with us to make sure we felt comfortable with each step. She’s a wonderful teacher with amazing enthusiasm that made the class so engaging. I also loved the mini history lesson, it added such a special touch. YOU HAVE TO BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE!
Miekayla_T, Aug 2025
Gabby was awesome! We learned how to dance in a one on one setting and then took our new skills to a local salsa spot! Gabby even hung out to give us extra pointers and recommendations for food and other places to check out! Overall a great experience, would do it again!
Amy_Q, Aug 2025
Gabby was amazing! We had a great time and she a great instructor. Perfect intro to salsa! Gabby was patient, the energy was upbeat, and the steps were easy to follow. Great way to build confidence and have fun. Highly recommend for first-timers!
Casey_P, Aug 2025
This was so fun! Gabby was a great instructor and broke things down to easy steps. We loved it!! Was fun that it was outside in the park too!
Sylvia_J, Aug 2025
Gabby is a phenomenal salsa dancer & instructor! She has such a passion for dancing & you can see how much love she has for Puerto Rico, her community and sharing the history of the island. She’s kind, patient, gives clear direction, teaches you a bit about the history of salsa dancing too & makes it a fun learning experience! I’d highly recommend any beginners interested in learning salsa or seasoned dancers looking to improve their technique to take this tour. I had so much fun going out dancing after the lesson in San Juan to practice what we learned in real time with amazing live salsa music. This is the best tour I did on my trip to PR, sign up & support a Boricua owned business! 💃🏽
Natalie_U, Jul 2025
Gabby’s beginner salsa class was amazing! Her passion and deep knowledge of salsa really shined through. She broke down each step clearly, making it super easy to follow — even for total beginners. By the end of the class, we felt confident enough to hit a real salsa club! Fun, supportive, and energizing. Highly recommend! 💃🏽
Rose_G, Jul 2025
Great salsa dancing instructor, for beginners or anyone wanting to brush up. Gabby explained everything with ease and very patient
Macaulay_B, May 2025
Gabby is a fun and easy going teacher. I appreciated the history piece about salsa that was added in between learning steps. We had a small group so Gabby was able to take some time to help and slow things down to learn easier.
Afterwards, Gabby took us to a nearby place where we could have the chance to practice after. Definitely need some more practice but the introduction of learning and then going to see it right after is great visual to have.
I would recommend anyone to take this class if you are needing a more relaxed environment to learn the basics of salsa. Gabby emphasized there are basics and styles, but what we can add our own touch is up to us. Overall the experience was fun and I would take another course if it was offered.
Carlos_C, Apr 2025
This was so much fun! Gabby not only is an excellent teacher but she's an all around fantastic person bringing joy through her passion. She was knowledgeable, great with my kids and even worked one on one with my husband, who brought his own Colombian fare. If I lived in PR, I'd hire her for private lessons. will definitely use her again when we return.
Isaac_T, Mar 2025
Gabby is a fantastic teacher and made salsa super fun and easy to learn! My partner and I had a great time, and we can't wait to try out our salsa moves back home. I'd absolutely recommend this experience to friends and family!
Nick_M, Mar 2025
Gabby was such an exceptional salsa teacher. We came in without any salsa dancing experience, and Gabby made it so comfortable and easy to learn. She also shared the background and history of salsa dancing, which made it even more special and made us feel connected to the culture of Puerto Rico. We started out just us and Gabby and then she brought us to a popular salsa dancing place for many locals, where we got to see the most beautiful dancing we’ve ever seen. She made our honeymoon so special and we could not recommend this experience enough!
Kevin_C, Feb 2025
What a great experience! Gabby made learning salsa dance, on a moon light night in Old San Juan, so fun and easy.
As salsa music boomed from Gabby’s speaker, we danced as locals and tourists stopped to watch.
The spectators swayed, smiled and I’m sure they wished they were dancing with us.
The night ended salsa dancing in a local dance club.
Thanks for the great memories Gabby. We promise we’ll keep practicing.
