Best Samba Classes In Cartagena Near Me

Aline aline: Me diverti bastante. Fui 2x

Katja Rissmann: We had 6 private sessions with Ruben and loved it! Would highly recommend as we learned so much and enjoyed the process :)

Emily Barrett: My husband and I did a 2:1 private class - we had never danced salsa before! Great teacher, we had a lot of fun & learned the basics. We wished we had longer to do a course!

Serena Romagnoli: My boyfriend and I paid for private classes. He had basically zero knowledge, me some basics. Ended up having a teacher just to have someone counting 1-2-3 5-6-7 for us while looking at herself on the mirror. End of it. End of her contribution.Sure she gave some directions to my boyfriend - so basic that I would have been able to do the same for free.Given me and my boyfriend had 2 different levels, I didn’t learn anything new.Cherry on top, we started late to look for the A/C remote but didn’t get the time back at the end. And to be honest, given the kind of experience, I wasn’t too sad.I read many positive reviews, I’m sure that if you take 14 h lessons they make a better investment on clients.But this is not private class, this is a nice and colorful tourist trap.

Karin Goetz: Guter Salsa-Unterricht

Charneice McKenzie: This is feedback for the school:The jump from beginner to intermediate was too much. Even the intermediate private lessons to the group lessons was a big jump. I am a dancer. I have been a dance instructor. And I wasn't getting the steps. The instructor...who is very nice...showed us 4 7-count sequence all at once. That was too much to remember! Then, without all of us having the hang of the steps, he went on to add another 7-count with a spin. I walked out. I wasn't having fun and I didn't want to pay for confusion. It felt like the Aunt Viv situation on Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. I'm just in Cartagena to have fun. Not compete at a high-level dance studio. My suggestion is to introduce 1 7-count sequence at a time. Observe if the students have caught on. Then add to it. Go at the pace of the students. No need to rush. I did have fun in the private lesson.

Lea Helfenstein: We took a private class for Salsa Cali style and Champeta. The teacher Natalia was excellent! We recommend it a lot.

Sandy Wolf: I took 14 hours of private lessons in 4 days! I wanted to level up my salsa and Bachata skills on my Cartagena vacation, and that's exactly what Crazy Salsa School did for me!I was so lucky and happy to have Esteban and Ruben as my own private teachers. Those 4 days were full of fun and challenges as my teachers customized each lesson to exactly what I wanted to work on and their assessment of what I needed to learn.Both of these guys encouraged me through my frustrations and were as excited as I was when I would finally get the steps we were working on. They were endlessly patient and encouraging, and incredibly skilled at unlocking the slight but important little changes to make to help me successfully do the steps.These teachers got me to do moves I never thought I could do. Not all great dancers can teach; these guys (and also Natalia, who taught a great styling lesson) do both brilliantly. And the owner, Esmeralda, was incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. She allowed me to schedule according to what my plans were the next day. Reasonably priced, wonderfully taught, Crazy Salsa should be your Cartagena dance home!

Heena Patel: Excellent Salsa class with a bar tour to practice afterwards. My instructor Esteban was amazing. He explained the steps well. We then went to two bars and were joined by another instructor where we practiced what we had learnt and had a few free drinks along the way.My only recommendation would be that it might be good to have a female and male instructor at the bar to help both genders practice.Would definitely recommend this Salsa Tour!

Guadalupe Maria Daldoz: Some geniuses! I took a very good class with Esteban and then I took the tour with Ruben, super friendly and safe on the tour, I went alone and I had a lot of fun.

Tue Nguyen: Is the school open?? Couldn't find the place. Not where it's supposed to be according to google maps

Joanna: I was in Cartagena for a week and I took private classes with Esteban- Salsa and Ruben- Bachata. I absolutely loved it they are very professional but at the same time we had so much fun while dancing. I’ve learnt a lot thanks to them. The easiest way to communicate with them is by WhatsApp 🤩

Ryan DuBois: Great school! They were very responsive and accommodating and I received a great lesson.A very good school! They responded quickly and the class was great.

Ji Pei: Me and my wife Had a great lessons.Instruction is very clear and we definitely enjoyed the experience

Raya Dzulynsky: Great private salsa class with Esteban. He was clear with his instructions and very patient with our questionable dance skills.

Deregnaucourt Jeremy: I had some courses there.Unfortunately, due to construction work, there was no way to have group class.There was a misunderstanding with the administrative assistant about the price. With 5 individual lessons taken, you got a 6th one free.Since I paid them individually, she declined this offer. I would have appreciated more flexibility as the credit cash machine was not functioning and I was keen to pay everything with my card.Also, this same person gave me my last course. I did not feel in confidence with her. She was judgy, having an attitude that does not favor to be relaxed.Despite that, I had Ruben, and this guy is incredible. A great teacher and a very funny guy! Go ahead with him without any concern :)

stellina Luna: Where is this place? I love to go but I can’t find it! It’s not where google maps says it is and the people around there have no idea what I am talking about! 😆Pls someone send some better directions

Manu Manu Negrete: It's a great place to learn how to dance Salsa ..they got expert teacher .

karina carrasco arredondo: Excellent place, very good teacher Rubén, breaking it 100%

alwayscoco1984: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI had 6 classes with Mauricio, he was a fantastic teacher! He made learning salsa very fun and interesting! The hour class always pass by too quickly because it's so fun! Highly recommend Crazy Salsa in Cartagena! Hope to come back and continue the lessons with Mauricio in the future :)

rosa dominguez: I always visited this place, because it was a cool environment and the prices were fair, but 5 months ago the prices of drinks rose exaggeratedly, and the street vendors do not let you enjoy the moment... I do not recommend it.

Maria Elvira Pájaro: Pure sauce for salseros at heart. Visit it and hit the dance.

Leticia Artilles: Predatory pricing. I asked for a free cover and the waiter charged me as much as he wanted, they do not bring any type of invoice and before charging I ask myself if I did not speak Spanish, then I felt that the price changed because I am a foreigner. There is no live music. There are many mosquitoes. I left feeling robbed. It ruined my night.

ALEXANDRA MURCIA BALLESTEROS: Excellent a good Roncito #AlexandraRecomienda #cocinafacilparaflojos #pueblerinosporelmundo

The Different knowledge levels of the students were taken into account and the groups built fit well together. Thanks again for a great time!

Gaby Sierra: Excellent!

Laura Liszewski: Really nice experience in this school, recommend!

Tom Lovett: I cannot recommend this school enough. I am absolutely amazed that. I'm able to have spontaneous conversations with locals about a host of topics, considering I only did four weeks of classes, starting from zero. I was worried that doing well in classes wouldn't carry over to the real world, but that has not been the case at all.The classes themselves were really enjoyable. My teachers were great, the other students were great. We cracked plenty of jokes while still learning new grammar and vocabulary.The school was very helpful when it came to logistics as well. I literally enrolled on a Friday afternoon for Monday morning classes. Also, the school allowed me to print documents and received a package for me.Cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Laura Shadley: Had a wonderful experience at Centro Catalina - Cartagena. The instructors and staff were outgoing and helpful. School always flew by because it was so much fun. I was nervous to speak with people in Spanish, but I gained a lot of confidence while I was there! The school organized a lot of fun activities that allowed you to experience more of the city. They also organized a trip to Isla Grande on the weekend, which was incredible! I stayed with an awesome host family very close to the school. I can't say enough good things!

Dario Paolillo Mendoza: Super escuela, Muchas gracias, thanks a lot for the great time!The support, activities, treatment and personal are fantastic. Colombia and the School has stolen my heart and they are like a second home and like a Family. May God always bless you in Name of Jesus! Bendiciones mi gente bella

Jim C.: I had a great time a Centro Catalina. The school is located in the historic center of Cartagena, with lots of restaurants, shops and sights in a short walking distance.Teachers and staff are just awesome and made my stay a unique and special experience. Everybody is super friendly and helpful.All in all a great experience, defenitely a school that I can recommend.

lisa muzzin: This is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish. Not only are the teachers and classes of top quality but there are free events most days as well. This helps you to get to know other students and the city and to practice your spanish even more. I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks everyone!

Max N: Great Experience

Yanis GUIGNOUNE: Une école totalement a l’écoute de nos besoin et le tout avec le sourire. Une ambiance géniale du début à la fin. je recommande vivement cette école.

Loris Contro: I spent 6 FUNtastic weeks learning Spanish and everything I could about the Colombian heritage and culture at Centro Catalina, and would have spent a lot more than that if I had had more time. The teachers, facilities, customer service, extra activities and anybody who works in there with great passion: everything was excellent! I attended both schools in Medellin and Cartagena,and I strongly recommend them.

William Zarb: C'est une super école les cours sont très bien organisés , les professeurs sont géniaux. Il y a beaucoup d'activités qui sont organisés chaque jour .

Brian Eaten: Perfect Spanish school for a perfect experience. S/o to David

Danny Lee: I truly can recommend centro catalina for every person who wants to learn spanish - doesnt matter which level you have! The facilities, the staff, the teachers and the way they teach are top notch! Every day they have an activity for the afternoon and also for the weekends, like salsa class, movies, city- or graffiti-tours, etc. Also the school is in the middle of centeo historico and so you can find many restaurants, bars and shops just next to it! On this point i want to say MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of the staff, especially to David, who is an amazing "papi"!! All of you, keep going the way you do!! Mucho gusto.. jackie! ;)

Oscar Rivera [INACTIVE]: Tremenda experiencia. Emelis y su equipo de trabajo te hacen sentir como en casa y en familia.Terrific experience.
