Fun night in Panama - This was a great evening and a great introduction to salsa! The instructor did a wonderful job of explaining and showing each of us how to move! Ending at a club was fun and I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing Experience - It was my last night in Panama and i decided to book this Salsa class, it was one of the best highlights for me in Panama. I had such an amazing time. My instructor was really patient while teaching me the steps for someone who has never danced before. He has convinced me to take up Salsas classes when I get back home. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Cuban salsa lessons and evenings - We are experienced salsa dancers but Marvin gave us a great course where we learned great legwork 😅then he took us to a salsa bar (the balboa) then safely brought us back (it’s important there 😅 ) great bar with DJ dancers who bring in addition to instruments and cheer you if they think you danced well or felt the music 🫣 crazy atmosphere!!! Thanks again to Marvin

Excellent experience - The team at Salsa Safari are amazing. I needed to refresh my skills and work on my confidence, both which they happily offered. These people really know what they are doing.

The highlight of our week in Panama! - We had a great time at our salsa class. The instructors were patient and really helpful and we brushed up on our steps. Marvin, who was terrific, took us to the the Selina rooftop salsa club and danced with us and made us feel comfortable. This was the highlight of our trip to Panama.

An experience that we will always remember - We had such a great time! We learned the basic steps of Salsa and after the hour of class we went to a bar where the locals danced salsa and we continued dancing there. Marvin is a great teacher. Very patient :) and an amazing dancer!

Great Lesson, Club Experience Mixed - I had a private lesson with Francisco who was very patient with me as I negotiated my “two left feet”. By the end of the lesson, I felt like I had started to master the basics. I had assumed that we would be immediately heading to a salsa club elsewhere in Casco Viejo. I was surprised when he said that the next activity would be at the Tropicana Salsa Club at the casino within the Hilton along Avenida Balboa. As the event was over an hour later, Francisco was very kind to drop me off at my hotel in another neighborhood where I refreshed before heading back out to the Hilton. When I arrived at the Hilton, I easily found the Tropicana but I never found Francisco. I tried using the chat support to reach him or somebody but never got a response. I have to assume that either he got lost in the crowd himself or never came. In any event, the dance performance was fun to watch. As I had arrived just in time, I watched the event mostly on the video screens that the casino was thoughtful enough to provide. After a snack break following the performance, I watched the live salsa band play for a while but no one had yet dipped their toe onto the dance floor. It certainly wasn’t gonna be me as I was not going to cold-approach what I presumed would be experienced amateurs; I had thought perhaps Francisco would help facilitate those opportunities by asking for patients from would-be partners. In any event, after maybe twenty minutes of the band, I made my way back to my hotel. In summary, I had a great experience with my lesson. The subsequent situation at the club is where I remove my star. But I definitely recommend lessons at Salsa Safari: I already knew they were popular and if you have even more coordination than I do, you’ll learn a lot and have a lot of fun!
