Fun, relaxed and great teacher! Juan was our instructor. He was hilarious. We learned the basic steps of salsa and had a great time doing it. He never made us feel uncoordinated or uncomfortable. My partner was unsure but before you knew it she loved salsa too!

Great instructor! The instructor was extremely professional, patient, fun, and made the learning experience enjoyable! I 100% suggest taking the class. If you are an experienced dancer take the private class he really push’s your learning. Suggest wearing something light and flowy to help you feel sexy and get into it more.

Everyone should learn to Salsa from Juan!

Eric_W, Mar 2026
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!!

Juan was very engaging...

Tricia_A, Mar 2026

Dancing with Juan

Brittanie_W, Aug 2025
Juan was both funny and entertaining. I mistakenly booked a private class but that simply made the experience better. Despite the sweltering heat, learning salsa felt like a breeze. With grinning smiles and foreheads dripping in sweat, we clumsily avoided each others toes to a botched eight count. Juan quickly took on his persona as Juanita when he danced with my partner. I must say, she’s much better than me but polite enough to keep her hands where I can see them. We danced while leaving enough room for Jesus but also close enough to provoke childlike giggles. I would gladly book with Juan again and would happily recommend his class to anyone.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Omg.. you make me laugh.. Juanita will always be ready.. thank you for your amazing comments.

Fun intro to salsa!

Johanna_A, Feb 2025
Almost didn’t go as it had been raining all day off and on. Texted Juan who encouraged me to head over. Glad I did- Juan was very welcoming and entertaining. Excited to use my salsa basics at my friend’s wedding this weekend.

Great fun activity for all!

Lori_B, Feb 2025
Highly recommend! You will come away dancing! Juan is a great teacher and my partner and I enjoyed learning with him. Even a beginner with two left feet will be welcome and dancing soon!

So Much FUN!!!

Valerie_H, Jul 2024
This was an AMAZING experience! Juan made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we loved every second. The time flew by, and Juan was so kind with giving us recommendations on where to go during our stay. A must do with your friends or partner!

Had a GREAT time

Tashi_M, Jun 2024
Juan was great. He was thorough, fun, and catered to both the adults and kiddos. Oh! And he gave good suggestions for local spots and discounted experiences

Best experience I had on my solo trip to Puerto Rico

Anisa_C, May 2024
Taking a salsa class with Juan was one of the best experiences I had on my solo trip to Puerto Rico. During our private lesson, I learned so much about salsa and improved immensely due to Juan’s expertise, patience, and willingness to improve my salsa skills. I recommend this activity for anyone looking to have fun and learn how to dance. I left the experience falling more in love with salsa and inspired to continue dancing.

Fun relaxing & good vibes

Taneka_E, Apr 2024
Juan is a patient and passionate instructor. He encourages and pushes you to memorize the steps. He’s also a fantastic dancer!

A terrific Salsa lesson.

Alan_K, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful Salsa lesson with Juan and were delighted to be able to put our new found skill in to practice the next evening at La Placita. Thanks Juan for a wonderful experience.

Go learn Salsa from Juan it’s fun and easy

ricardo_v, Mar 2024
Juan was incredible! We had a great time and are still practicing our steps. It’s worth the money if you never tried this style of dancing.

Private lessons

Sharon_F, Feb 2024
We were the only couple there. Juan was very patient with me.. (a total non dancer). He gave us some recommendations for places to eat after the lessons which was very nice.

Superb!

Diane_D, Feb 2024
This is a must-do in PR! Our instructor, Juan, was very patient, fun, and a great teacher. He was able to offer a lot of 1:1 instruction which helped with learning salsa. Thank you, Juan! We can’t wait to get out on the dance floor, ready to practice all that you taught us!

Great time in San Juan

Steve_P, Feb 2024
My wife and I took the class and it was a great time. Juan is an excellent teacher, and he's also fun, funny and and was super patient. I would recommend this to anyone visiting San Juan!!

Salsa fun!

Sylvia_M, Jan 2024
Do not miss out on this opportunity! It is the perfect introduction to salsa dancing. Not only is Juan a tremendous teacher, but he brings so much personality and humor to class as well. We enjoyed every single minute and learned enough to try our new salsa skills at the nearest hot spot. The perfect Puerto Rican adventure. Thanks, Juan!

Must do

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Highly Recommend!!!

Teresa_A, Aug 2023
We truly enjoyed our salsa lesson with Juan! His passion for teaching salsa transformed our 2 left feet to dancers feet. The 2 hours flew by with his fun and joyous personality. Can’t wait to try out our new moves at La Factoria tomorrow night! Highly recommend his class!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

It was great meeting you guys. Keep on counting!

This was my first solo...

Trakeia_C, Jul 2023
This was my first solo trip and I had a great time in SJ. I enjoyed the most was the instructor Juan during this salsa class he was truly awesome patient and fun.

An amazing experience

corey_l, Jun 2023
Juan was fun and patient with our group. We had a wonderful experience and learned so much in the short time we had with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone without any experience to learn from him. He recommend lots of places to see, restaurants to eat, and clubs to practice our new moves.

Amazing time learning salsa!

Jerra_H, Jun 2023
Juan was a wonderful teacher and really took the time to give one-on-one assistance during this salsa dancing lesson! It was a blast for my significant other and I and made for a really fun date night out in San Juan! I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn salsa in a really fun way!

Great instructor, lots of laughs, so much fun!

sgutie2014, Jun 2023
This was such a fun experience. Juan is very personable, great instructor and had a great sense of humor. My 15 year old was not excited about going because they are really shy. Juan was patient and made her laugh. My husband wanted to learn salsa because he doesnt dance at all and now he is excited about trying out the new steps and practicing more. The two hours flew by because we were having so much fun. This is a must when coming to PR for singles, couples, and families. Juan also gave us great tips on great places around the island.

Amazing Salsa Instructor and Lesson!

Melanie_B, Jun 2023
Oh my goodness! Juan was amazing!! Awesome class, awesome instructor. Love that his class was 2 hours instead of the others only offering 1 hour lessons. Definitely needed the extra time to get more help. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Juan.

Awesome Class

Camila_C, May 2023
Juan truly made this experience one to remember. He is a great instructor. The class was so fun because of his amazing energy and love for salsa! Truly recommend anyone who wants to take salsa lesson to participate.

Couple lesson

Brittany_I, Apr 2023
We had a great time in Juan’s salsa lesson. We were beginners and he was able to break down even the most complicated moves in a way that we could grasp. Thanks Juan!

123..567

Judi_C, Apr 2023
What a great experience. Juan was a Star instructor. My mom and I attended this class and it didn’t disappoint. Even though she’s 76, has troubled vision and legs aren’t what they use to be, Juan made it that she still had the the best time and learned. His instructions are clear and simple and get you dancing in a few minutes. I swear my mom and I didn’t the next day practicing our steps and teaching my wife! I highly recommend this as part of your trip.

Perfect for beginners!

Angellic_N, Apr 2023
My goal for 2023 was to learn how to dance salsa and I’ve accomplished it. Even if it’s just the basic steps I feel more confident dancing it. Our intructor was very nice and patient. Very encouraging when we got it down and gave good instructions to correct our errors. He gave nice recommendations on places to checkout. Very fun activity to do!
