About this experience

Experience the electrifying world of Latin dance on a Salsa Safari through the vibrant nightlife of Panama City's historic Casco Viejo. Your evening begins at the Salsa Safari Studio where you will meet Martha and her team of professional instructors. With over 40 years of combined salsa instruction experience and multiple competition wins under their belts, they know exactly how to get beginners dancing confidently in no time. The lesson covers fundamental salsa steps, timing, and partner work. Whether you have never danced before or want to refine existing skills, the instructors adapt to your level and ensure everyone leaves with moves they can use on the dance floor. But the lesson is just the warm-up. The real adventure begins when you head out into the wild to dance at authentic local salsa clubs in Casco Viejo. Your instructors guide you through the vibrant nightlife scene, introducing you to venues where locals gather to dance. They stay by your side, helping you practice your new moves and building your confidence. Feel the energy of live Latin music, connect with the welcoming local dance community, and discover why salsa is such an integral part of Panamanian culture. By the end of the night, you will understand what Martha means when she says every girl wants to dance. This experience is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and groups looking for an authentic taste of Panama's nightlife and Latin culture. No partner or previous dance experience required.

Martha and the team made it fun and easy to learn to salsa dance, and to try it out “in the wild.” Great venue, great music, great to have instant dance partners and a night out for a solo traveler.

Martha and Omar were wonderful. They quickly got us up to speed on basic moves, then we were off to the clubs to dance "in the wild". They were fantastic company and made it easy to just go for it on the dance floor. Martha was right: every girl wants to dance. And Omar is a great wingman!
