- F955+53 - Cooking and Salsa Dance Lesson Combo\nLearn to cook and dance like a local on this unique night out in La Fortuna! The perfect way to get to know Costa Rican culture and take part in some of our most important activities in Costa Rica: cooking, eating, and dancing!\nPeople are starting to really take to learning about new cultures and the best way to do that is to learn about what the locals eat.\nTurns out, Costa Rica has amazing cuisine – it’s healthy, natural, and actually very easy to learn how to cook it. That’s why you’ll be wanting to take back local spices and try some of our favorite recipes back home with your friends and families.\nWe’ve planned these cooking classes as a great way to get to know other travelers and hang out with a knowledgeable local “chef!”\nBut the night gets even better because as soon as you finish cooking, you’ll be able to sit down to the delicious meal you helped cook up and chat about the “Pura Vida” of Costa Rica.\nBut wait… there’s more! Hope you brought your dancing shoes to Costa Rica because we then head to the dance floor to learn how to dance to some of our favorite Latin beats – salsa, merengue, cumbia y bachata!

Fun and informative - What a fun evening! Kathy was a great teacher - showing us how to make Casado and then teaching us some salsa basics. We certainly didn’t leave as experts on either, but we laughed a lot and had fun pounding tortillas and tripping over our feet. The setting was gorgeous, and the evening was a nice change of pace from eating out every night of our vacation. The only ding of the evening was the lack of communication before hand about the pickup time, but that was quickly rectified by a great experience once we arrived. Be aware that the venue is fully covered, but open air, so dress for the temperature and use bug spray.

Memorable and fun - The cooking and salsa experience was very lovely and memorable. Kathy was kind and taught us so much about the ingredients and was very patient and fun to dance with. We enjoyed getting to know her, and the food and cocktail was delicious. This was a lot of fun and we highly recommend the experience!

Great family experience - Katherine was fantastic. She was kind and helpful and very good at instructing. Her English was like that from the USA. She was kind and understanding when my son was too tuckered out to participate. It was a great family experience and I have the recipes to take home with me. Delicious food!

Enjoyable Introduction to Costa Rica - We very much enjoyed this class! Katherine explained everything in detail during the cooking portion of the class and answered all of our questions. For the salsa dancing, she broke everything down into easy to follow steps and showed us several variations. Would recommend this activity to others!

Local cooking and Salsa dancing - Kathy spoke very good English and has a passion for her cooking and dancing. A really fun class with the food we made, talking to the other couples and then to top it off with the dancing.

Great experience - One of the best experiences on our Costa Rica trip. The cook Jenny had already prepared everything. After we arrived, we were able to mix ourselves a delicious cocktail, then we started cooking. Jenny was always available to answer questions, she was there the whole time and joined in. We really liked the location, everything was very clean.
Jenny also showed us the dance steps for salsa and merengue. Here, too, she was very patient.

Wonderful but very warm cooking outside - The people and the food were amazing. Our only problem was the heat. We were uncomfortably hot and had to leave early and miss the dancing. Fans would have been appreciated.

Not really a cooking class... just eating previously prepared food. - I only did the cooking portion, not the dance lesson.
It really wasn't a cooking class; all we did was cut vegetables and add them together for pico de gallo - the chicken, beans, rice, plantains and rice pudding were already done and all we did was eat them. We did roll, flatten and fry a tortilla from a dough one person made. Had I known this was all we would get to do, I would not have done it. Then the recipes we ate were supposed to be sent to us. And they were.... 3 days after the class, when most of us had left Costa Rica and could not get the ingredients any more! Disappointing.
