What Dancers Say About Salsa & Bachata classes with Melitta

5/5 from 9 Google reviews.

I've danced with Melitta for many years and appreciate her encouragement and motivation. She introduced me to the world of Bachata and 'lit my fire' and love for this dance. I've taken Partnerwork, Ladystyling and online classes with her and leveled up my dancing, so I highly recommend for you to take them as well. She works motivated and relentlessly to create great shows and projects that furthermore show her excellent choreographing skills. I am honoured to partake in the realization of her projects and to give dance classes under her Pura brand. If you have the chance to take classes with — Aline Sickert

Melitta is an amazing teacher!

I have never danced before so I took private classes at the beginning to get the fundamentals right and get some initial confidence in dancing both bachata and salsa ☺️

Melitta helped me so much in the private classes and multiple bachata lady styling workshops, bachata partner work and many many social dancing events.

Melitta’s attention to details and her energy to get things perfect is going to be part of your dancing journey with her 😊 💃🏻

We have been dancing together for a year now. I keep coming back also for more workshops and events she and her Pura t— E Luiza

Melitta is a fabulous Latin dance teacher, she has an excellent ability to break down all the moves to the finest detail so they are easy to understand and follow. On top of that, she designs very impressive choreographies that will make you shine!

When I met her I hardly knew what Bachata and Salsa were and I had no dancing background whatsoever but after taking a few of her courses magic happened and I became a confident dancer.

If you would like to be part of a friendly community of people interested in dancing you should definitely give her classes a go.— leyre mauleón pérez

Melitta is the very best at bachata ladies styling and has a big following in London. She is also professional level at following and leading bachata and salsa so can teach and improve couples choreography and technique either one on one or as part of a group. She is always organised, prepared and prompt for her classes and provides honest and constructive feedback. Dancing and teaching really is her passion and that always comes through in the lessons I have had with her over the last 1 year+. Thoroughly recommend!— Laura Rowley

Yes, complete beginners learn salsa regularly, and private lessons can build early confidence. No prior experience is needed.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Adults can learn ballet, though for classical training you would look to a dedicated ballet school. Recreational adult ballet focuses on posture and steady progress.
