Joel Salsa NY

Excellent instructors, joyful atmosphere and polite,staff.

I took classes for a few weeks with a few different sets of teachers and my social dancing skills noticeably improved. After one class, I had more awareness, confidence and new moves to bring with me to the vibrant NYC dance scene.Every time I come back to New York for work or fun, I plan to take a few more classes here, because the environment is so welcoming and the class packages are so reasonably. I miss the community and wish we had one like this back home, but look forward to joining when I'm back!

Beginner friendly. 2 classes in, fun and education

I worked with Celia who was a great instructor. She knows so much! Celia had a lot of patience and taught me how to improve my skills and confidence in salsa. Also, she was very accommodating of my schedule, which helped me significantly. I’ll definitely be returning!

It’s an awesome school with good prices, excellent teachers, and great people. Highly recommended!

This has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, positivity, and genuine passion that every instructor brings. They don’t just teach dance—they truly care about helping every student improve and feel confident.What makes this place so special is the team. It’s gracefully beautiful to watch Jenny dance, and it’s an incredible opportunity to learn and grow from her teaching while watching her dance with Giovanni. Giovanni’s precision and attention to detail make every step easier to understand, and Juan Carlos is constantly walking around the room, offering personalized feedback and encouragement that helps everyone grow.Their teamwork is seamless, and you can feel how much they genuinely love teaching. Their enthusiasm is contagious, making every class both challenging and incredibly fun.Coming to Joel Salsa has become one of my favorite parts of the week. I leave every class feeling energized, inspired, and excited to keep learning. If you’re looking for amazing instructors, a supportive community, and a place where you’ll truly grow as a dancer, I highly recommend Joel Salsa. Five stars all the way!

Was a beginner not knowing anything, and happy to say now I’m definitely feeling better about my salsa skills!
