A beautiful night in the wild!!!! - The salsa lesson began on time. The instructors were delightful and patient. I would take lessons weekly if I were local.

Salsa, Smiles and Safari! - This was such a fun and authentic way to experience salsa dancing “in the wild” with the Salsa Safari team. You don’t need a partner because the instructors dance with you and keep the energy high. The salsa lesson with Elier was engaging, fun and easy to follow. Martha and the Salsa Safari team welcomed me with open arms, and as a solo traveler, I felt safe and included the whole time. It felt like a night out with friends, and we danced the night away in a local Columbian restaurant. It was such a vibrant, high-energy experience and a great way to meet people. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples or groups – the music is contagious and keeps everyone moving! Don't think twice, just book it!

Best Salsa class instruction ever! - I've taken many salsa dance lessons and this one was the best by far. Elimer has wonderful teaching techniques that even had my stoic husband ready to sign up for more lessons. He is also very friendly and has an extensive dance resume for a young man. We are now ready to learn more Afro Cuban and Cuban dance on our next visit it Panamá.

One of the highlights of my visit to Panama - Had a blast with the crew at Salsa Safari! I learned some new moves and met some great people. The dancing venue was in point too-danced until my feet said no mas!

Find your inner dancer - You don’t need to know how to dance you just need to bring your joy and excitement. I don’t do Latin dancing. But I and my friend had such a marvels time. And we definitely would not have dared try dancing at the Salsa bar without instructions and chaperone. Go go. Amazing time.

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

Salsa Night - As a solo traveler, this was an awesome experience! Nelson was great, he took his time to make sure you understood the steps and got the concept. I would highly recommend doing this tour for anyone

Not as described - The location for the class is a small, cute studio. The instructor was great... explained things & repeated basics as much as we needed. That portion lasted about an hour. The next part got weird... I thought we would go dancing in the "wild" but instead he took us to the Hilton Casino. He offered to dance with each of us then literally bounced. Granted he said he wasn't feeling well but he could have at least told us other places to go on our own. We sat there for about an hour waiting for the "show". We watched a dance group perform then we left. I found a dancehall party for us to go to and have fun. I booked what I thought was a salsa night. It was really an overpriced class that dumped us off.
