Jonathan S. says, "Tibor is THE BEST! You HAVE TO get him as your dance trainer. We have our first dance soon and we both don’t know how to dance. We had no experience, no background and a very short time to learn. Tibor helped us go from zero to hero. He is kind, detailed and very encouraging. His level of professionalism and kindness deserves 1,000,000 stars. We ended up falling in love with our routine and we even might pick up dancing as a hobby next year! Tibor’s best moment was when we asked him if he can drive all the way out from his dance studio to our wedding location and he made the Long drive just to help us - incredible. We’re recommending ALL our friends to sign up with him and we definitely will be keeping in touch. He made our wedding even more special! Hes the best!!!" Read more

I have over 30 years of experience in Ballroom Dancing . Winning many titles in Europe and America. As a teacher work with students from 6-86 years of age in numerous countries. Love the the intriguing details of the technique as much as finding the artistic expression in each movement that matches the dancer. Ballroom Dancing teaches us a lot not only about ourselves and our body, but also about communications with other people.

Your Salsa Dancing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much are salsa dance lessons?

The cost of salsa dance lessons can vary based on different factors like the location, studio or instructor, lesson format, and available packages. Typically, group classes range from $15 to $30 per session,while private lessons can cost between $50 and $100. Some studios may have special introductory offers or workshops at reduced rates.

For accurate pricing details, it is recommended to directly contact local dance studios or instructors who can also inform you about any ongoing promotions.

What should I wear to salsa dance lessons?

When it comes to attire for salsa dance lessons, prioritize comfort and flexibility. Opt for loose clothing that allows easy movement, such as leggings or yoga pants for women and comfortable pants or shorts for men. Avoid wearing restrictive garments like jeans that may hinder your movements or cause inconvenience to your dance partner.

For footwear, select comfortable closed-toe shoes with good ankle support. Leather-soled shoes are ideal for smooth dancing, but clean sneakers can also suffice initially. Steer clear of open-toed or high-heeled shoes as they can pose risks during dancing.

Where can I take salsa dancing lessons?

If you are looking to enroll in salsa dancing lessons, there are various options available:

  • Dance Studios: These establishments offer salsa classes catering to all skill levels and provide a structured learning environment along with the chance to interact with fellow dancers.
  • Community or Recreation Centers: Sometimes these centers include salsa classes in their fitness or arts programs at more affordable rates compared to dance studios.
  • Private Instructors: Private instructors can be found through platforms like Lessons.com or via recommendations. This option offers personalized guidance and is suitable for individuals seeking individualized attention or those who prefer a more private learning setting.
  • Online Resources: While not a replacement for in-person classes, online tutorials and video lessons can complement your learning process or serve as an initial step if attending physical classes is not feasible.

What questions should I ask a salsa instructor?

Before committing to salsa lessons, it is advisable to ask potential instructors certain questions to ensure they align with your needs:

  • What is your experience in teaching salsa dance and at what proficiency levels?
  • What teaching approach do you follow? Do you emphasize technique, improvisation, or social dancing?
  • How large are your classes typically and what is the class structure?
  • Do you offer classes for beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners?
  • What is your policy regarding cancellations for private or group lessons?
  • Are there any prerequisites for joining your classes such as prior dance experience?

How do I choose a salsa instructor?

When selecting a salsa instructor, consider these recommendations to improve your chances of finding an instructor who suits your dance goals:

  • Choose an instructor with experience teaching salsa at the level you desire and look for certifications from reputable dance organizations.
  • Select an instructor whose teaching style matches your learning preferences.
  • Evaluate their personality and communication style during an initial consultation or trial class.
  • Read reviews on platforms like Lessons.com and Google or seek recommendations from friends who have taken salsa lessons.
  • Pick a studio that is convenient to your location and has classes that fit your schedule and budget.

Sheila E.
We had an amazing experience working with Tibor. My husband and I wanted to have a choreographed dance for our first wedding dance but we didn’t want the dance to look overly choreographed either. Tibor did a great job making the final dance look natural. His patience with us was amazing and we are so happy that he supported us throughout learning the dance all the way up until the performance. On the day of our wedding we got so many compliments from our guests and relatives. We are very grateful for him and can highly recommend him to anyone who has never danced before but wants to look great on the dance floor!

Jenn has been my Ballroom Instructor for almost four years. I started to learn Swing and she introduced me to Salsa and Argentine Tango, which is now my favorite. Jenn provides the perfect combination of knowledge, ability, and clear communication that makes learning a joy. Dance has become an important creative force in my life thanks to her instruction. For a few special occasions she has been a wonderful collaborator helping me choreography original dance routines to mark special events. Whatever the dance, whatever the event, Jenn is the instructor who will get you the result you desire.

Nani Agbeli is one of the the most gifted performer/teacher/scholar of a variety of music and dance styles from Ghana that I have ever seen. He follows the legacy of his father, Godwin along with his brothers at the Dagbe Center. Nani has worked with my studio and ensemble at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music for nearly 20 years. He inspires all who have worked with him. I highly recommend Nani and Volta Drum Dance to everyone!
