Inexpensive dance lessons to get you started! I took a salsa basic class and it was a little low level for me personally but sticking around for the social dancing on Friday got me into the mix. This is a very welcoming, friendly, and fun environment. For the most part the crowd is happy to teach you too. It's nice that folks dress up or down and all are welcome to dance and it feels safe! read more

I looove the cafe. The studio is so nice - it's 4 different rooms in one. Love that there are DJs for each class. I tried out the Drop-In salsa class for beginners, 8 pm Friday. The class was extremely crowded and the instructors were difficult to follow. I'd like to try another class and re-assess! read more

Doesn't offer as much value or intensive training as I'd like, a lot of time is wasted on aspects that don't teach. there isn't enough emphasis on proper footwork and placement. Too much time spent on review and not enough on new content. read more

Amazing experience! Clean, well maintained facilities. Cafe/ dance studio divided in 4 different spaces for different classes/ dances to happen simultaneously. The instructors are super friendly, and patient! They love sharing their knowledge and experience with us! They offer drop in classes, dance practices, series, teams dances, and socials. Come for a drop-in class, and stay for the fantastic experience!! I highly recommend this place!! read more

it was an "ok" experience. pretty expensive, and you can expect typical cliquish seattle freeze behavior.

Love the vibe, the music and the smoothies are the best! Love to hang out and chill here throughout the week 5 star definitely read more

Great instructors and fun space! Taken multiple classes here and really enjoy the learning environment. They do social dancing on Fridays and it's been amazing to have a space that is so open to dance newcomers. They take their time teaching you the reason behind movements and by the end of each series I feel more confident in my dancing and being able to follow when I'm out. read more

I went to a Friday night Bachata class with a few friends. It's $10 for the class which I think is reasonable. The instructor teaches you the basic 8 step, and a couple spins. We rotate between guest, so you do not have to bring a partner, there's plenty of people there. We had about 30 people in the class and everyone is wearing a mask. They will check your vaccine card at entry. The deduction of one star is mainly due to the instructor. She was kind of snappy, and all my of guest felt the same way, that she was taking the fun out of the experience, and making people feel tense. At one moment, she asked if there were any questions. I raised my hand with a question, and she showed obvious irritation. I am very eager to learn. I think she picked up on this later on, and she did take the time to dance one on one with me. She rather saved this review with that extra effort. I want to come back, and I'm certain I will. I've talked about it with several coworkers and friends already and invited others. read more

This studio & classes are so fun! This 4 space is with different dance styles All the instructors are so welcoming and warm and really meet you at your level. I never feel rushed or out of place. The studio is very dynamic and beautiful. It's so nice to connect with humans again as well read more

Ive been trying to conctact them for the last 2 weeks and I never got an answer at all. I tried by phone, by e mail, by ig and they just ignore my messages. I even went to their location and they told me to wrote an email. I dont get why is so hard to get into their courses. I really was excited to join their classes. read more

#SalsaConTodo's new café is absolutely #stunning ! And if you haven't tried their #Fremont #danceClasses .. you should! They have the most amazing teaching techniques that help even beginners to feel more confident. I personally have no dance aptitude yet.. but when I've come here, I always feel like I CAN dance.. all I have to do is try harder & keep practicing! I love it here.. I only wish I had more time to take more classes here or to join the drop-in classes. This place ROCKS. :-) read more

Love love love! I came here for a few different bachata classes and really love the one on Friday night followed by the social. On Friday night, there are 3 rooms with 3 different music, bachata, salsa and zouk. Most of people came here to dance, nothing slimy. I also love the classes here as well, the studio is spacious and the size of classes is normally just about right, not too big nor too small. Highly recommended!!! read more

This is one of the best dance studio in town. They have three large rooms (including the cafe), with hardwood floor. The instructors are top notch, I have taken Lindy Hop classes with Elaine and Stefan and they are the best! Other than beginner and intermediate classes, they are also offering the only advanced swing dance class in Seattle! If you want to step up your game and focus on technique, this is the right place for you! read more

I was very reluctant to take Salsa lessons. You see... I was born and raised in South America, I never took any kind of lesson but I managed to learn salsa as a little girl simply from imitating what my older family members did at the many social gatherings we attended in a regular basis. So with the lessons, I was afraid I was going to be pulled away from what I know as real salsa, to learn a 'showy' and really proper (almost stiff) style of salsa... for me, the movement has to come from your connection to the music not from the 1,2,3 counting in your head. But I missed dancing so much that I decided I would give it a try.... and I am happy to report that I haven't had this much fun in a long time. In one hand, the class does teach you structure, which was enlightening for me; it breaks down every movement to unimaginable levels... those of you that have never danced salsa or anything else... will be able to start from ZERO and if you pay attention and practice you will learn, there's no doubt about it. You will also get a taste for that connection I was talking about, while getting some interesting insight on the Latin history and culture. This is a very well rounded class with experienced and approachable teachers. The classes are fun, and well priced, the location is easy to get too and there's always parking. The teachers are upbeat and always willing to give you a little extra help and attention if you think you need it. The 90 min. class flies by and I'm always sad about having to wait 1 week for my next class. If you ever felt like learning Salsa, this is the place to go. Sure you will probably still have to count in your head, but nobody will know ;) read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! Salsa Con Todo dance studio provides a welcoming, inclusive, and exciting dance environment. The instructors are truly top notch! They are talented professionals, who have terrific patience and really care that each student gets the dance properly. The class size is reasonable with a good lead-follow balance, and the students are friendly and happy to learn. The studio's dance teams are also superb! The classes are more intense, and being part of a team comes with many benefits as well as a great community environment. Friday drop-ins and socials are very fun! If you are looking for a studio, where the people are passionate, approachable and exceptional at teaching you to dance, then Salsa Con Todo dance studio is your place. It is definitely mine! read more

I love this place. The Instructors are very nice. I learned to lead bachata. I started Following in some instances during class and that helped me improve my leading. The instructors are so tuned in to the small details that they will pair up with u to see how they can improve your hold , posture or lead. Be patient and practice what they teach at home. I had to take level one a few times to move up. Its not a race it was always about the process. read more

My experience is probably not consistent with the quality of the studio. I'm not one to complain, but I left the studio with a very bitter taste because of the customer service. Edit to Vassili and company: You missed a few details while quoting me. I'm being more than fair with my review. read more

Good sweaty fun, awesome atmosphere. I took the intermediate bachata class at 9pm and stayed for the Friday night social at 10, and it was the most fun I'd had in a long time. I'm at a beginner level in most social dances but am pretty experienced overall as a dancer, so I was mostly able to pick up the choreography for follows. And it was sexxxxxxyyyyy. At the social they had bachata, salsa, and zouk rooms, each with great atmosphere and music. Dark lighting on warm wood does ambiance make. There's also a wide age range, though I've found most of the leads are older men. However, they were also respectful and quite talented and I learned a lot from dancing with them. I'm really excited to come back and learn even more! read more

Ventured around 11pm on a Friday for the social dances. The music was at the perfect level to still hold a conversation with your dance partner. Good vibes, great dancers, and an overall excellent time. I'll be sure to visit again for the bachata drop-in class and social dances on the weekends. Much to learn! Only beer and wine sold. The apricot cider was particularly good. read more

I'm very self-conscious about anything close to formal dancing and have always thought of myself as hopelessly uncoordinated. A single intro to Salsa class here has changed my mind. Our instructor was upbeat, patient, funny, flexible to suit where we were at, structured the class very well for true 100% beginners, gave individual attention, pushed us to do things that felt hard, but still made sure nobody was lost. If you're reading this, thank you! read more

***BEST DANCE STUDIO IN THE AREA*** Having gone to so many different studios throughout the area I would have to say that this studio is the best. I've taken salsa and bachata series for almost 4 month and can say most of the dance technique I've acquired has been due to the great routines, patterns, classes, drop-ins, socials and mostly an array great instructors. Most importantly, the ratio between leads/follows is normally balanced. What can I say other than I love this studio and grateful to have found it. read more

It's about to be a big long post y'all, so let's get down and real. I LOVE this place. For me, what makes any business/studio stand out is the people. Vassili (owner) is the big kahuna there and he is just the sweetest and most personable person. I've visited a few studios but never felt comfortable. Salsa Con Todo is initimate, respectful, and nurturing. You can go anywhere and dance, but it's the people who make a difference. I'm currently taking Salsa 101 and Kizomba (with Nephew who is also AMAZING). The bachata drop in is also helpful if you're a fast learner. I'm so happy I came across this place!!! You don't just learn dance, you learn culture and that is SO important. I can't emphasize enough how amazing this place is and the community it fosters. I wish you nothing but the best Vassili. OH, and top it off, Vassili is opening a cafe next door. This guy's a genius. Come to SCT!!! read more

The intro classes for salsa were GREAT. Will continue to keep coming back as they build off of the basics rather than teaching the same beginner moves over and over! read more

I don't know if I have all the words to describe how much this place means to me! I have a very sweet friend who introduced me to Salsa and invited me to Salsa Con Todo. I had never danced tho I am yoga instructor so I understand body movement in the yoga way. It was something new after going through a very difficult time in my like. Over the past 7 months I've taken salsa 1, 2 and 3 with several teachers at the studio as well as one on ones, drop in classes, social dancing on Fridays. As a teacher myself I can say wow to the teachers at this studio... not just because they are excellent teachers but because they care as well. If you want to learn, have fun, make friends and dance the night away this is the place! Lots of love read more

My friend took me to the Friday night drop in classes and they were so much fun!!!! The first class starts at 8 pm. Around 11 pm the social starts and more advanced students show up, which is super cool to watch. I was surprised that there's an equal ratio of girls to guys so you pretty much always have a partner to dance with. The guys are really good. The studio is absolutely beautiful!!! There are two dance floors and rooms for private lessons. I don't have that much experience and the instructors were super cool about it. So were the guy students I danced with. UPDATE: I signed up for the Salsa 101 class and absolutely loved it!!! V and Kate are amazing instructors!!! And it's fun! Now I'm in Salsa 102. The class is an equal ratio of guys to girls. Some of the guys know what they are doing, which makes it easier to learn the moves. If you want to take a 4-week class, register online. The Salsa 101 class this time around is totally full. There are 20 girls & 20 guys. It's off the hook!!! This is the_best_dance_place_ever!!!!!! read more

I've recently began taking Salsa classes at SCT and it is FABULOUS! I think I'm basically moving in there at this point because I find myself there for classes, drop in classes, boot camps and socials almost every day of the week, and I'm not complaining! The classes are really wonderful, informative and so much fun! The instructors have all been lovely people who are undoubtedly proficient in their field and really passionate about dance and helping others learn to dance as well. The owner is such a nice person who seems to truly care about his students and the quality of dance education they receive. He also appears to have a really good rapport with all of the instructors and staff at the school, which is really neat to see. SCT is a very inclusive, welcoming and non-judgmental environment where novice beginners (me!) and dance veterans alike come together to learn and have a great time. Everyone is so kind and welcoming and very friendly. They create a place where you feel safe and free to have fun and be the best version of yourself, while learning a new skill. On top of that, the space is BEAUTIFUL, has 4 separate dance studio rooms and their cafe is opening soon, which I'm very excited to visit! As a person who has wanted to learn to dance for over a decade but has been too afraid to do it until now, I can say SCT is absolutely the best choice I could have made to finally start! I look so forward to furthering my dance education with them for years to come! read more

Amazing dance classes and social dancing at this place! I went to an event that they have every Friday and I had a lot of fun. Their teachers were knowledgeable and welcoming, and the owner of the studio, Vassili, seemed very kind and caring about his student. Also, fellow students in the class were very approachable and nice. I Highly recommend their Friday night events. They have 4 different dance forms in 4 different rooms, bachata, kizomba, salsa, zouk. The event starts with classes 8-10pm and then they have social dancing until 2am. I heard a lot about the different dance team that are starting in January and I'm looking forward to joining one in 2020. Looking forward to studying salsa in depth this up coming year. read more

Wow... I left this dance lesson feeling like I felt when I finally found a native speaker who taught me conversational Spanish. Vassili and the other instructors here teach you salsa from the ground up, starting with the African roots of the dance and tracing the US-Latino influence in steps and lessons. They teach the passion, joy, and perfectionism in a way that makes learning a beautiful thing. Vassili is also a flamenco guitarist, and his appreciation for music is evident in his teaching style. These lessons are worth every centavo. I can't imagine anything better in Seattle. Bravo! read more

Vassili is truly the best salsa instructor in the Seattle area. After years of unsuccessful lessons from Century Ballroom, I finally decided to give Salsa Con Todo a try and I was blown away with how much I've learned in the last 6 weeks. Ladies, if you really want to learn salsa, if you want to be able to do the hip movements, the musicality, and all the techniques...do yourself a favor and sign up with these guys. Each class starts out with a short warm up routine follow by separate ladies and men instructions. This is really important because you actually learn the follow's movements and techniques while the leads are learning their own movements and techniques. Then you pair up together and practice the moves together with more instructions from the teacher. This is so much better than wasting half of the class time waiting for the instructors to explain the moves...most of which is talking to the leads and not the followers. I finally feel like I know what I am doing instead of being push and pull like a puppet by the lead. The class is fast pace but super fun because the instructors are funny. He's really passionate about salsa dancing and teaching. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning salsa. read more

Disclaimer: once you start you may not want to stop. Salsa Con Todo is Seattle's best salsa school. The other reviews have pretty much summed it all up. New to dance or not, Salsa Con Todo has much to offer. Salsa addictions included. I've been dancing for most of my 26 years, but have not delved much into the world of partner dancing beyond the social dance scene. I was a little concerned that I'd find the 101 class mundane, after getting my groove on (periodically) for years at Century Ballroom's salsa social nights. Okay, so the first class was a little slow for me, but it picked up by the second or third class. Plus, with Vassili's humorous anecdotes and brief salsa history lessons... one could never be bored. I have registered for the 102, and trying my best to make time in my schedule for the Ladies' Styling class or Bachata 1. I can't get enough. The drop in bachata classes are awesome, and are followed by the social dance. Friday evenings at SCT are a must. Taking class with Vassili and the rest of the SCT team is likely to become the highlight of your week. Don't deprive yourself. read more

I just finished taking salsa II bootcamps(7 hours weekend workshop) here. Came back for Salsa II series because I was simply amazed by how much I had improved after salsa 1 workshop I took a months ago. I had just started learning salsa through series classes, in a studio in eastside but the progress was really slow. all the Students in the sala 1 bootcamp were starters, and they grilled us from the basic of the basics and got our foundations right. I was speechless by the meticulous amount of details that was taught here in that bootcamp. Ron and Elizabeth were amazing teachers in salsa II workshop and we were getting individual attention and guidance for each step of the pattern we learned over the weekend. I would strongly recommend the Salsa bootcamps at SCT to everyone. Also, I think the bootcamp is a way better and quicker way to learn salsa than the series classes. Hope they will be offering Intro to Bachata workshops! read more

Natalya's Latin technique intro class is one of the best I have taken in Seattle. She brings a combination of skill, grace, ease and enthusiasm that will have you addicted to dancing before you can count "5-6-7-8". Not only is she an amazing and talented dancer, she also has a gift for teaching. She breaks down complicated concepts into steps anyone can pick up. By the end of her class, you realize it has been a legitimate cardiovascular and core workout as well. But who knew a workout could be this much fun? If you weren't able to attend the first class, make sure not to miss the rest of this series! read more

The best teachers out there. I've been through quite a few dancing classes before. This was by far the best. The instructors are lots of fun and really nice. They have a real knack on knowing how to teach on all levels. read more

Rented the facility for my 30th wedding anniversary party. Great facility and Clarissa helped us for the evening and was unbelievable. Their communication and customer service are atrocious. I was treated with disrespect by the owner. If you do rent the facilities, get everything in writing and expect long delays for responses. Left two items behind in haste to get out after being yelled at. Tried to get hold of someone to confirm they were there no response (of course). Stopped by and said I had left many messages with no response and was told by a staff member that "sounded about right". Referred to owner who was more prepared to place blame on me for what number I was calling than helping me get my belongings back. Wish I had reversed the charge to my credit card immediately after the event. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I've been salsa dancing on and off for a while, but after to moving to Seattle and trying it out at Century for a little bit, I kind of fell out of it for several years. When I started a new job in Seattle, I found out that Salsa Con Todo was right across the street so I decided to check it out. Right off the bat the place gives a good impression as it really looks like a dance studio. It's pretty much a room with mirrors and a nice floor. When the lesson starts you'll get another good impression from the class sizes and the instructor(s). Vassili is the main male instructor and although you can't give too much credence to looks, he looks the part and his dancing is even better! He has a major emphasis on basics and fundamentals - this might be somewhat of a deterrent to those who think salsa is all about the patterns and spinning, but it's a testament to his dedication and understanding of the dance that he knows that learning the fundamentals makes it much easier to learn those later techniques. The primary female instructor is Christine and she brings an equally deep understanding regarding body posture and movement to her teaching. Both of them are a joy to learn from as they take the time to move your foot, rotate your shoulder, or tilt your head. The studio has a strong community around it and the Friday practices are a great place to start social dancing in a low pressure environment with most of the people already knowing how to dance a bit. It might be intimidating, but it's much better to learn with people who know the basics rather than being unlucky and dancing with someone who doesn't know how to dance at all, a rather unfortunate turn of events for a beginning lead. I find the current prices pretty reasonable for a 1.5 hour session over 6 weeks. It's definitely less expensive than something like cross-fit which tends to run $100 for 4 1 hours lessons, and while it's not the same level of workout it's definitely still a good workout when you get into the higher levels! Some minor drawbacks - the parking kind of sucks since it's in Fremont. They try really hard to keep the ratio 1:1, but since the classes are much smaller compared to someplace like century, if people drop out/stop showing up, it is possible to be in a class that has something like 10:6 ratio of guys/girls or girls/guys. It's actually kind of random which way it'll skew. Highly recommended. read more

The best Latin dance venue in Seattle. Very nice ambient with three distinct rooms. Amazing floors for dancing and service is great . Crowds are so much better than at century ballroom and the music is also better . Only recommendation would be to also play cumbia and merengue. read more

My (now) wife and I started taking lessons at Salsa Con Todo back in August with an eye to our first dance at our wedding. I had never really done any dancing before and we were hoping to surprise our wedding guests with our first dance. We took three sets of group lessons and they were all really well taught. Vasili is a a really great teacher and has the ability to really make you feel like you can dance the steps by the end of every group lessons. Also Christine, his dance partner, was a great instructor, especially for ladies styling. What really stood out for us, however, was when we went to have a few private lessons to come up with some choreography for our first dance. Vasili and Christine each met us for separate a one hour private lessons. It was amazing what they came up with. The choreography was simple enough for me to master in under a month, but spectacular enough that everyone in the crowd was oooohing and aaaaaahhhing. They even helped us pick a PERFECT song for the first dance. They always make you feel comfortable about dancing, which is especially important for someone just starting out. Also there friday social is a great place to learn how to "dance in the wild." read more

The teachers here are dynamic and creative, rooted in knowledge/experience, clearly love dance and music, and work hard to bring that same passion out of students. It feels like a real learning experience, in this studio. Also, students are pretty diverse, which I appreciate-- so many different ages, backgrounds, ability levels, etc. taking these classes-- and it's awesome to watch everyone progress. note: I clicked "not good for kids" but actually, I think these classes would be such a great door for young adults into a social scene not enough people experience. :-) If I still taught 16 - 18-yr olds I'd be bringing them with me for sure. read more

I just took my first dance classes at SCT - Salsa 101 Wkend Intensive. Vassili and Christine are great instructors! Vassili, the owner of Salsa Con Todo, is an awesome combination of competence (both as a dancer and teacher), playfulness, seriousness, humor, etc. I found the wkend intensive to be a perfect combination of talking / movement, single / partner work, etc. Well paced - never boring or overwhelming, I think the class as a whole learned a lot and had fun doing it. My friend, who also took the Salsa 101 Intensive, exclaimed how great she found both Vassili and Christine. About Vassili, she commented, "You can tell he really loves what he does." :-) read more

I was given great basic moves to dance the Salsa from Vassily and Liz. They are very good demonstrators of the moves that they teach. It is a fun atmosphere. I liked learning with many different dance partners. On the other hand, the class felt too large, I would have maybe learned more in a class that was smaller. read more
