Highly Recommend! - Brilliant experience. The teacher was super nice, patient and fun. He showed us the basics as we had never danced before. The other people were very encouraging and make it ever more fun. Would highly recommend as part of your visit to Mexico City!

Just follow the music! - Wonderful! Kentaro is a master at salsa/bachata and an incredibly patient instructor. Class sizes are small and intimate - which was great for me as I prefer the extra attention on my technique. Though the studio is a little tricky to find at night - you’re actually walking into an alley and up a few flights on a blue staircase. Either way, the staff was really nice and I plan to come back again. 10/10 - I highly recommend.

I loved it - The woman was an excellent teacher and very charismatic and the location was great. I absolutely loved it! I wish If I wasn't just passing through I would have taken more classes.

Fabulous Experience for Solo Travelers - The absolute best way to make friends if you are traveling! This event has a great mix of locals who come regularly and first timers—it truly is a melting pot of an event. I came not knowing any salsa and felt like k could dance the basic steps by the end of the hour and a half. The class gets packed and you really do get a chance to talk to everyone through switching partners. The class takes place in the seating area of a food hall and drinks are available for purchase, seems like food was as well. There is paid coat check for your belongings, but mostly people just scatter their belongings on tables and chairs. It felt very safe and everyone really just immersed in dancing and mingling. Would recommend dressing comfortably, after the class, the space turns into a dance floor and you’ll likely find yourself dancing for several hours more! Left with a lot of friends and new connections.

Fun and easygoing - Good value for the price, lots of fun, and managed to cover a lot of moves in a short time. Others should be aware that some instructors only speak Spanish. I was impressed with the organisation - they separated the group into two based on experience / ability. Overall, I would recommend.

you can do better - This class could be better. Please see 3 main feedbacks: 1) It was very hot and very crowed; it was not outside as shown in the photo. It should be advertised as is. 2) There were no directions given for where to put personal items and ultimately no space provided other than the paid coat check area. As this was not communicated, everyone who had collectively set their things on a nearby table had to step out of the class and pay to store their items which had been grabbed and moved from the table. (We are bilingual Mexican Americans. This information was not given to the group in any language...it felt very rude and was a bad vibe to start on). 3) It is not beginner level. Maybe we got unlucky, but instructors were not very supportive teachers. I am not saying this because I had a hard time keeping up; I am not a beginner. This is my observation as someone who dances salsa regularly and has gotten to learn from many others. My partner is a beginner, and this class was lacking and overall discouraging. (from our experience in class end of july 2023)

The instructor did not... - The instructor did not show up. We called and he felt sorry, tried to offer alternatives but that did not work for us. At least we got our money back.
