Incredible atmosphere! I joined the bachata class and I am loving it, teachers are great, supportive and of the best sense of humour. It’s a fun way to spend two hours of your free time and it 💯% worth it.

I have just completed the Salsa Teacher Training with Salsa Tropical and I found the experience amazing. Maria Palmieri is a great teacher with years of experience and ready and willing to share her knowledge. She is passionate about what she is doing and very professional and supportive making you feel very relaxed to enable you to bring out the best in your self to enjoy this learning experience, not to mention her wonderful staff team who completed this this great experience, to ensure you were supported where necessary.I highly recommend this program.Ben

A great choice for anyone wanting to start cross body Salsa, improve as a dancer, make friends! I have been taking classes with SalsaTropical for about 1 year.Classes take place in the LSE student’s union, about a 10 minute walk from Holborn/Temple tube stations.The dance space is a large airy room, with lots of light and a great dance floor.Classes are held twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. A typical class will have 15 students and at least 2 instructors ( a leader and a follower). There is a strong emphasis on good technique, and frame. The instructors will have a pre-planned lesson, and over 1 hour everyone will complete a short routine. The instructors demonstrate the moves, but also walk around the class giving individual feedback. During the class you will change partners regularly, but also dance with the instructors, which helps build your understanding of leading, following, timing, signalling etc.Overall there will be about 50 -60 students, split into, 3 levels: beginners, improvers, and intermediate. There are lot of 'regulars', who come every week, and progress together.The students and instructors are a friendly, diverse group of people, so any new joiner will find it easy to fit in and enjoy a class.There are classes from 7-9pm, and you can combine different levels as you progress e.g. two beginner classes, a beginner and improver class, an improver and an intermediate class.The dance floor is open from 9-10pm, there is a friendly vibe, with students from different levels dancing together, along with the instructors. It is a great way to build up your ‘Salsa confidence'.Besides the weekly classes there are regular weekend workshops, and socials organised by Salsa Tropical , plus there are ad-hoc meet-ups to go to different Salsa events in London.

Maria is an excellent passionate global dance teacher who I have had classes with for approx 6 months! I had ZERO dance experience. We started partner work early and I felt really comfortable partner dancing with her and she never made me feel bad if I didn't know what move to do next for example! At the same time I knew she expected me to know my moves. Every class was FUN because Maria is easy to talk to and fun to dance with and I looked forward to all of them. I learnt the footwork and different steps and in each class she added something extra or something extra to a move we had already done. I went to Colombia and all the individual steps I had already done with Maria so job done! Maria is very professional, always on time, has good accommodation to work from, and is a fun dance teacher who is passionate about what she does and I feel connects well with her clients. The dancing wasn't "scientific" as a large part of dancing is feeling, timing etc. Choose Maria if you don't want to dance like a robot!

I attended the bachata lesson last Tuesday and i was pleasantly surprised at how much FUN i had. As a beginner i was quite nervous however the staff and instructors were extremely inviting and i ended up having a fantastic time. I will most definitely be joining the Tuesday class regularly. 10/10 would recommend

We hired Salsa Tropical for our Staff Summer Boat party which was a Salsa theme, Maria and Mike, who were very professional and extremely fun to be with. they taught us how to Salsa, although some of us had two left feet but they were patient with us and showed us a great time. On behalf of Hotelcare we thank you very much for a wonderful night. i will definitely be booking Salsa Tropical in the near future. Thank you guys

It was real pleasure to attend 3 months salsa class. Maria is very nice lady and friendly teacher. She really cares about you. Mike Anthony is really a Salsa Master. In 3 months nothing has been repeated. They were very generous in terms of new stuff. They left their signatures on my salsa dancing. I am really appreciated for their efforts and friendly manners. A recommendable Salsa Spot in London.

Salsa Tropical is definitely a 5-Star Salsa school. They're really focussed on technique rather just on fancy moves. When the technique is right, you definitely look good on the dance floor! Highly recommended for serious Salsa students.

Hey Dance Lovers! i would like to grab the opportunity here to tell you about my experience I gained @ Salsa Tropical in the past couple of months ! I am a competitive Latin / Ballroom dancer, with couple of years experience so I have a good insight into dancing and I must say if you are into learning Salsa then look no further! Maria is a great, lovely, professional, bubbly Dance Instructor with plenty of years behind her back and is dedicated and passionate about people and dancing! I am proud to be part of the teacher team as well now as a newbie teacher which is hell lot of fun! Both the Teacher Training and the Group classes are so much fun, laughter, happiness with great vibe and people and of course Salsa steps and techniques taught by highly experienced instructors like Maria!I could write plenty of pages how great Salsa Tropical is but you have to experience it yourself, I promise you won't regret it : ) Classes running on wednesdays, fridays and saturdays you have plenty of options! Don't hesitate, just do it!!! : )See you in class,Adam
