Amazing Experience - We had Salsa Boriken teach a salsa lesson at our welcome party before our wedding and it was a HUGE hit for our guests. Gabby and her assistant were amazing instructors and very fun and energetic. They got everyone up and participating. She taught solo moves at first and then how to combine it into a partner dance, all in at beginner level that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Salsa Boriken for a lesson!!

Fantastic Instructor - Gabby was so patient and kind! I had zero salsa experience and I am so excited to take what I learned in PR and join the social dance scene at home. It was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend her to anyone.

Best Salsa Class - 10/10 - Gabby is such a phenomenal instructor, 10/10 recommend. She created such an inclusive and fun environment — even making what seemed so impossible, possible (aka a right turn). She paid close attention to detail and was able to help everyone individually. Gabby also gave us history on Puerto Rico and Salsa, amazing time!!!

Terrific Salsa Experience! - We had a great time at this salsa experience!….Gabby was an excellent instructor especially given my 2 left feet! I will need more practice but with what was shared I’m sure this lesson will stick with me. The after lesson experience at the salsa club was very authentic and impressive!

Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Gabby was great! She gave clear instructions, made salsa approachable, and gave the most advanced folks some fun tips and flair. This is very much a beginner class! Then she took us to La Factoria for the live band!

Novice to Confident Joyful Dancers - This was one of many of the best experiences we had on the island! Our instructor Gabriella was phenomenal! We had a class back in September of 2025 and had to do it again in 2026. Its fun, and knowledge and the vibe always hits right. If one is looking to learn some basics with flare and fun, she's the one to bring it to you. Her personality and professionalism is always top notch. My husband who had two other classes somewhere else was so excited he got to experiences with this Borinkin! She had him confident on the dance floor and smiling and laughing through the whole experience. We will always highly recommend this activity when on the island. Whether you want to refresh the basics or are familiar with the moves, the nightlife she brings with instructions is fantastic! Looking forward to doing it again next yr when we come back. It's a must do and definitely with her especially if you want a fun and positive experience. Our instructor broke down the steps to really easy directional steps, assisted with putting it altogether all the while giving great feedback , fun, laughter, and a positive experience my dance partner will come to remember the joy of dancing like if no one was watching.
