Dublin Salsa Academy - Beginner's 202, Jan 8th, 9th & 10th. Cuban Salsa, L.A Salsa and Bachata classes. in Dublin

Tl;Dr dance classes are good. Administration is lacking. Location changes to outdoors sometimes because the school fails to book a location I attended the beginners classes for multiple dance styles in the school. First of all, I think the classes are quite good. The teachers are attentive and there's always a chance to record the routines/movements taught at the end of the class. Huge help when practising. So 5/5 there However, the administration is severely lacking. The first week I signed up the class on my chosen day was cancelled. I only discovered this when I arrived at the venue and was informed by staff of the harbourmaster that it wasn't on. I did ultimately receive a refund for the missing week, but be careful when signing up on the day because you might find the class is cancelled on that day. The dance school won't mention this on their website or any public facing pages that I'm aware of In addition to this, sometimes the dance school will fail to book a venue. In this case either the class is cancelled for that day or they move it outdoors to Grand Canal Square. If it rains that day? Cancelled. If you maybe don't want to dance so publicly? Come a different day, if there's one available. If a class is cancelled there's no attempt to make up that class, and the possible change of venue isn't mentioned on the website or when signing up for the class. I attended for 8 weeks and the day I found most convenient to go had classes cancelled or moved 3 out of those 8 weeks. Maybe I picked a particularly turbulent time, but I'm very surprised this isn't mentioned in any other reviews. If you're flexible on days or don't mind having an dancing outside then this is unlikely to be much of a problem for you. If, like me, you'd prefer an indoor venue or don't always have that flexibility then this is pretty important information to know

Very fun classes and great teachers!

Dublin Salsa Academy is amazing! The instructors are talented, patient, and make learning so much fun. Great vibes, great music, and a welcoming community—perfect for all skill levels. Highly recommended!

Myself and my husband are total beginners and we felt immediately at ease with Abel and Naomi. Abel explains everything very clearly with humour and patience. We enjoyed our lesson very much.

Had joined he beginner’s classes in April It’s so much fun and Abel is an amazing teacher Would definitely recommend if you’re thinking about picking up some classes

Great place for dancing and learning Cuban salsa, in line salsa and bachata. 100 % recommended. Abel, Noe, and the rest of the staff will help you to elevate your dance to the next level and furthermore!

The only place in Dublin where the sun always shines and it's never cold. The positive energy of this place can definitely be seen from space. The teachers are amazing, you have no idea how quickly you'll be able to dance more than just the basic step. I've just started a bachata course, and I know for sure that this style won't be the end of my journey with Dublin Salsa Academy.

Great place for beginners, recommend the unlimited package

Friendly environment with great, motivating teachers. The classes are engaging, and the social dance afterward adds to the learning experience. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic venue to discover a variety of dance styles, and it's a super fun way to connect with new friends!
