Overall this was such a great experience and I had my own personalized lesson. Marvin was an excellent instructor and taught me seamlessly and I felt comfortable with him right away. We laughed as he’s such an excellent dancer who made me look and feel comfortable right away. Thank you again Salsa Safari!!!

My sister and I joined the salsa class on our first visit to Panama. Martha was great to communicate with leading up to and even after our class when I had a question. The dance studio was an easy walk from our hotel in Casca Viejo and our instructor did a good job of breaking down choreography and managing the different skill levels in our class of 4 people. Doing our final dance on the Rooftop was a great way to finish and the video came out cute. I would definitely recommend this as a fun cultural activity!
