Where are you located?Everywhere. While we do not have a permanent studio space for classes, we make ourselves available to our students wherever they wish to do their classes, be that their own home, a shared space in their apartment building, the beach, or a public park. Physically, we travel all throughout Miami-Dade and Broward county giving private in home lessons to our students. Virtually, we are available anywhere in the world you can get an internet connection. Ask us about online classes.
-
What kinds of dance styles do you teach?We primarily specialize in casino, otherwise known as "Cuban salsa," and other Cuban dances including son, rumba, mambo, cha cha cha, and others. We can also introduce you to other Latin rhythms such as merengue, bachata, etc.

Casino? I'm here to dance, not gamble."While the rest of the world refers to this music and dance as "salsa," a term primarily used to market both to international audiences, Cubans call their most popular pastime casino. In the 1950s, pre-Cuban revolution, Havana's coast was lined with casinos and clubs where patrons would join sports leagues, participate in social gatherings, and yes, dance. Casino Deportivo de La Habana was one of the most popular among them, becoming known for the notorious bands or conjuntos that played there. It was the place to be if you wanted to dance son, the precursor to all salsas. Eventually, "let's go dance son in the style they do at the casino" was shortened to "let's go dance casino" and here we are now.

How many classes do I need to be good?The million dollar question. You're making an investment of both time and money here and you want to make sure it's well worth it. The short answer is, it depends. The amount of classes needed to be a good dancer will always depend on the abilities you bring to the table and what your goals are in taking the classes (preparing for an event, developing a hobby, competing, physical activity, date night, learning the basics so you're not in the corner at the next party while everyone is having a blast, etc). Once we see you dancing during a first session, we're able to give you a better idea of how long it will take to reach that goal.
-
Who will be my instructor? Do I have to pay more if it's both Sol AND Jun?Our pricing is based on how many students are participating in the class, not how many instructors are present. Class may be taught by either one or both of us, depending on availability and special request. Both of us are trained and capable of dancing as either lead and follow, and can therefore guide you in your dancing journey, as well as answer any and all questions you may have about your dancing technique.

What if I'm running late and/or need do cancel?We get it. Things come up at work. You're not feeling well. Your kids' practice ran late.

After that, classes may need to be edited or rescheduled. A valid credit/debit card will be required to book all appointments. All information is encrypted and will not be viewed by our systems. If you know you're going to be late or need to cancel, please give us ample time to rearrange the current schedule, and give us the opportunity to fill the vacant space. We kindly request a minimum of 24 hours for any cancellations or reschedules. Any reservation cancelled within 12 hours will result in a cancellation fee totalling 50% of the service booked.
-
Do you do performances and events?Yes. Sometimes students have a party or event coming up and would like to entertain their guests with a dance class, or an exhibition performance of Cuban rhythms. If you've got an event coming up, feel free to reach out and we can design a plan that works with what you have in mind.
-
