What Dancers Say About Salsa Cruz – Latin Dance Classes

4.9/5 from 10 Google reviews.

If you've never danced salsa before, or already have experience in one or more styles of salsa dancing, I highly recommend giving Salsa Cruz a go! Coming from a salsa cross-body background myself, I was looking for a place where I could expand my repertoire, meet new faces and most of all enjoy dancing with others! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed learning a new style (salsa cuban!) and am so incredibly grateful to Neil and Giedre for fostering the vibrant and welcoming environment that defines Salsa Cruz today! I felt right at home, and feel anyone regardless of level, style o— Valentin Stoykov

Would recommend to anyone to just come along and take the plunge and join in and express yourself without feeling— Dave Cryer

Not being blessed with natural rhythm I am posing a real challenge to the team. They are patient, nurturing and professional and are moving me to a position where I can enjoy a dance with my partner. It is an enjoyable fun evening filled with laughter. We would highly recommend the classes.— Mark Higgs

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant classes.
Nick and Giedre make every class an absolutely friendly and a supportive environment which helps to learn every step easily.— juan valderrabano

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices vary by class type and format, so it is best to contact Salsa Cruz directly for current rates.

Which dance is best for beginners?

Salsa is a great beginner choice for its sociable, forgiving nature, which is exactly what these classes teach.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

For adults, salsa is an ideal starting point, being sociable and adaptable to your own pace as you learn the basics.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle, regular dancing can support general fitness, but anyone with a heart condition should check with their doctor before starting.
