What makes us unique?

We are Seattle's fastest-growing Latin dance studio for many reasons. 

We focus on friendship-making, socializing & building a dance family to beat the Seattle Freeze. We understand that dancing is not just about dancing, but a way of making new friends and being a valued member of a community. Our classes are designed around this philosophy. 

We stay true to the Latin Afro-Caribbean roots of Latin Salsa dance. We teach Latin Salsa the way it is actually danced in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

Our studio founders and instructors are born and raised Latinos. This allows our studio to provide a true cultural experience, where speaking Spanish is highly encouraged. Our head instructor, Reinier Valdes, was a top dancer and instructor in Cuba and Brazil for many years before moving to Seattle, WA. 

A supportive dance family. We foster a safe and loving learning environment for dancers of all levels and experiences - we strongly discourage competitive behaviors. 

Grab a Mojito with your fellow students at the bar after class. We have two studios: 1) Our dance studio with wood floor & mirrors for most classes and 2) Club Sur for our dance socials and parties. Club Sur is one of Seattle's top Latin spots. Dubbed Seattle's "Salsa palace", Club Sur is where all the world-famous salsa bands perform when they come to Seattle.
