I started dancing at Mayambo a year ago and haven’t looked back!
I especially love the class structure which includes segments on salsa foundations, shines, choreography, and partner work. Del is a fantastic instructor and always finds a way to explain things in a way that makes sense. I’ve noticed an immense improvement in my on2 skills since I’ve been at the studio!

This unique method is both direct and effective, tailored for Salsa enthusiasts at any level who are eager to improve their skills and confidence on the dance floor.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BEWTEEN LEADS AND FOLLOWS IN SALSA DANCING
In Salsa, dancers slip into one of two roles: the lead or the follow. Picture the lead as the navigator, guiding the dance’s next move with a “How about this?” In response, the follow effortlessly adapts to each proposed step with grace and enthusiasm.
The beauty of Salsa dancing lies in its inclusivity; the roles of lead and follow are open to everyone, transcending traditional gender norms. It’s about finding your groove, embracing what feels natural, and, most importantly, reveling in the joy of dance. Whether you’re drawn to guiding the dance as the lead, responding as the follow, or love the idea of switching roles, Salsa offers a rich tapestry of connection and fun.
