Great learning experience about the Puerto Rican culture - We had the best time. Learned a lot about our culture from our instructor. My Daughter's sweet 16 was the most memorable because of this class. Would definitely recommend. The only thing I would complain about is the floor, it was rocky and tree stumps on the ground that made it hard to dance around but the location was beautiful on the beach and the view was gorgeous.

Bomba on the Beach was Unbelievable!! - OMG!!!!! What an amazing experience my friends and I had with salsatoursPR! We did the Bomba Class. The colorful skirts were provided and Castelan played the Bomba right on the beach while the sun was setting….. it was an emotional cultural experience for me. Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to coming back over and over again until I’ve mastered it!

A taste of Bomba - This an excellent dancing class for Beginners. The teacher was an expert at teaching Bomba to beginners. The drummer was also an expert at his craft and also an excellent dancer. I was amazed at how fast we were able to learn 4 dances. The skirts were a great addition. This is not an anthology class, but it will pick your interest into finding more about the meaning of each dance. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for looking out for me while I was waiting for my Uber.

An Awesome Dancing Experience! - I had so much fun learning about the dance of my ancestors. I learned the basic 5 motions and the more popular mainstream dance using your legs, hips and arms. By the time the lesson was over, I felt stronger inside! It was like a little family dancing around. If you are male, don't worry about , you can do it too. This dance is for everyone.The instructor was so nice and the drummer was amazing as well. They are both professional dancers and its on the beach under the palm trees! It's a must do. Bring a friend!
