I started going last week with one of my girlfriends. It's a lot of fun with a lot to learn. Couples, single, it doesn't matter. I highly recommend it. Instructor(s) are great and very helpful. read more

Awesome Dane studio. I only wish it was bigger. My husband and I signed up for salsa lessons here and we learned quite a lot. Of courses these moves must be practiced often so due to our lack of this needed practice we must have forgotten it all, but the place did it job. The instructor we had was really good, and not too hard to follow. Because we took a Sunday weekend class our sessions would be often times packed, but it never felt cluster phobic. They even have extra dancer men (usually) to dance with clients who have no partners due to odd partnering for shared dances. I would definitely sign up again if I had the time. They aren't too badly priced either. read more

I have been going to Salsa Salsa dance studio since September 2016. All the instructors are great and I love the friendly atmosphere there. I especially like the Salsa class on Saturdays at 4pm with Jose and Meli. The combination of the two gives me the instruction and guidance I need to improve my skill set and dance like I never knew I could. They make the classes fun and invigorating. I get a great workout and my body is transforming before my eyes. I love Salsa Salsa Dance Studio!! read more

I'm a fan of Salsa Salsa dance studio. Very good vibes. I used to drop in for classes and socials when I lived in Park Slope. The studio is super-conveniently located close to the Atlantic Ave shopping center and just about every subway line. Jose and Marcus are great teachers and dancers. I'm looking forward to dropping in again next time I'm in Brooklyn. read more

This place has a lot of filtered reviews for some reason, although most of the ones I checked seemed to be accurate. I have been coming there for a few months. Have taken salsa in other schools as well so have some basis for comparison. This is a really friendly and convenient place to take salsa classes. If your goal is to be able to dance comfortably at socials they will get you up to speed in no time. The studio itself is fairly large and conveniently located. Classes can get pretty crowded, but that's due to their popularity. There is always a good ratio of leaders and followers. Instructors are thorough and will patiently explain any shine/pattern. More importantly, classes are always fun, which makes it easier to learn. There are free socials at the studio twice a month and paid events in other venues for special occasions (e. g. holidays), and a very competitive pricing structure. You can advance at your own rate by taking more or less challenging classes. They take credit cards and use a swipeable keycard to mark attendance, which is really convenient. The studio is near a major transportation hub and there is parking on the streets nearby. All in all I can't think of any negatives. read more

Pros: -Friendly crowd, that sometimes wants to hang out after, one you can make friends with. -Great Instructors -Spacious Studio Cons: -No A.C./Poor Ventilation -Socials are Free (the con is that because they are free, it gets jam packed, and I don't like that, that's why I don't attend them) read more

I am very proud to be a student at this school. If you want to get a solid foundation in dance, this is the place to go!

What can I say about this place? This PLACE AND THE INSTRUCTORS ROCKKK!!!! LOVE THEM HERE. They are considered to be family. Love that I can come here on my weakest day and the music amps me up as well as the instructors. Not only have I learned to dance, but I get a great cardio workout, I build stamina and I meet people from all walks of life. Jose and Marcus are friendly and funny. I love them, their studio, and their passion. They should have a salsa studio in every neighborhood in Brooklyn. :D Oh, and if you are reading this Marcus and Jose, I will work for free. :D read more

I love this school! I look forward every week to my Salsa and Bachata classes. As some others wrote here it really feels like a big family, every instructor I've come across was great and there's a great crowd in class. They also have a lot of social events nearby so you can practice, and several times a year there are parties and school trips to different workshops or festivals. I live in Manhattan but it's super easy to get here, since it's very close to Barclays Center you have almost every train stop nearby. This really is one of the best things in NYC! read more

This salsa dance studio is conveniently located near Atlantic Mall Center close to the soon to come Barclay Center. It has offered an enriched experience dancing salsa on 2. The instructors are experienced, enthusiastic and motivating towards all the salsa students. There's a sense of family within the school especially when students and guests get together for regularly scheduled dance socials and special events. Two thumbs up for Salsa Salsa Dance Studio. read more

I have been at Salsa Salsa a little over 2 years now. When I first started out at the studio I only hoped to acquire "know-how" but, much to my surprise, I gained another family as well! The curriculum is challenging enough yet is taught at a pace and in a sequence that fits the overall learning needs of the class. The instructors are professional and are all experienced dancers who are aware of their students' potential and encourages them accordingly. Each instructor brings their own unique flavor to the dance which helps keeps learning FRESH, FUN and EXCITING. While Noel and Marcus have been my "main" instructors, all are highly recommended! If you wanna learn how to salsa on2 in a fun and supportive environment, then Salsa Salsa Dance Studio is the place for YOU! Check out their user-friendly website.... read more

I have been going to this Studio since May 2009. At first I joined because it was most convenient, but I really got lucky! I love that this is a serious studio, yet not too snobby or rigid. You will learn fast and well, but they still make sure you are having fun and find whatever feels comfortable to you. One of the main asset of the studio is that they give you an extra class per week at the beginning of your 3d month. That really made the difference for me, in terms of improving faster. So for the people who need it, they can review with a less advanced class, and for the ones who feel at ease, they can challenge themselves with a higher level class. The other thing I love is that the instructors there are both friendly and diverse. Some will be better for shines, some better for partner work... you can just switch around to see who works best for you. I personally really enjoy Marcus, Jose, Kelly and Noel. On top of socials (1st and 3d Friday of the month with live music :), they organize a free Salsa night at Deity Superclub on Thursday nights (on Atlantic Ave). It's an easy and inexpensive way to check it out if you want to gage the overall atmosphere and the level of the students. read more

Love this place. The teachers are endlessly warm, the students come from all backgrounds, ages, and ability level, and it's just FUN. I love walking in and forgetting my day. When I was told in my first class that pretty soon all of the students would be getting together and going out to the socials together, I was skeptical -- and I was wrong. It's just a great community. Specific teachers: Kelly has great energy and is great for ladies' styling -- she's just amazing to watch too, though her class moves quickly. Noel isn't just a good guy, he's also incredibly systematic about making sure each student is learning. Jose is funny and sweet-natured and excellent at reviewing (which in other classes doesn't happen enough) -- the best is when he dances the ladies' parts ;) My small criticisms: Some teachers spend too much time on shines (individual steps) over turn patterns and partner dancing. Personally, I have no interest in shines beyond a simple warmup and a few steps now and then, and remembering all those steps when you've missed a class or two gets stressful. I get the feeling I'm not the only one that would rather spend that time getting better set up for social dancing. read more

SalsaSalsa is fantastic. Been going for about a half-year now, starting with absolutely no dancing experience. The instructors have all been great (especially Jose) you can tell they are like proud parents when they see their students succeed. Note: Because the instructors wind up becoming almost your friends, you get defensive when people unfairly insult them. You'll notice the only negative reviewer here has given a perfect rating to a rival studio and 1-star terrible reviews to all others. Kind of makes it look like someone at that studio is posing as a customer. Can't know for sure, but I do know there is NOTHING "ghetto" about SalsaSalsa or the instructors. read more

I've been taking classes at Salsa Salsa Dance Studio for over a year now and am very pleased with the studio and my progress (not to mention their prices!). The instructors (Noel, Jose, Marcus, Kelly, Andy and Joseph) are knowledgeable, really nice and patient. The studio has a warm and familial feeling to it and seems to attract, as a whole, a pleasant group of students with whom it is easy to build camaraderie (and meet up for salsa outings). read more

I have been there since day one of your grand opening and I have seen all of the facelift that the studio has gone thru and this by far is a beautiful monumental look of the studio where you Marcus Isaac and Jose Rivera and your upmost talented instructors have taught hundreds of students to dance when they have thought it could have never been done.....I tip my hat to you Marcus Isaac and Jose for accomplishing and dedicating your time to everyone that walks in thru that door. ..this go's out to Jose thank you for being such a good partner but most important a friend to Marcus.....may God always continue to bless Marcus my son you and all the instructors that devote their time in something so spectacular read more

This is the first Yelp review I've ever written but I feel compelled to do it simply because Salsa Salsa is the best. The quality of the instructors is phenomenal, the customer service is excellent, and the community the studio cultivates is so supportive, fun and encouraging you get completely addicted! Ive never danced before and was always intimidated to learn but the instructors break everything down so much and move at a pace than really anyone could learn! I started 3 months ago and now I go 3-4 days/week and have started social dancing. If you want to learn, this is the place and you'll meet kind and amazing people along the way. read more

Im one of those spanish guys that has never danced a day in his life. So when I heard of Salsa Salsa dance I decided to give a try. Mind you that I had already gone to other schools and was disappointed so I didnt know what to expect. To my surprise the staff at Salsa Salsa is by far the best there is. Every single instructor is knowledgable, professional, patient and compassionate. Covering everything from the basics to the most advanced shines, showing proper and correct form in partner dancing and making it all fun and comfortable is what this school is all about. Marcus and Jose have a 5 star school and a group of A+ instructors. There is no better place in the 5 boros that is better than Salsa Salsa to learn how to dance. read more

Owners, instructors, location, space, students, socials, parties... all THE BEST. The people here are amazing; the owners and instructors make everyone feel welcomed. I've made some of my favorite friends here over the past 2 years. And after 2 years, when I still am having a slow moment and can't get that shine - they break it down, and they don't care how long it takes; even students help out. The classes are paced well - you leave each class learning one new shine and one new new turn pattern. I took classes for quite some time about 10 years at another studio, but Salsa Salsa is where I really learned to feel comfortable with Salsa. You'll not just learn the footwork, but also classy, fun, sexy and practical styling (for followers and leaders). The owners are amazingly approachable and down to earth, and their obvious talent doesn't even have to be mentioned (but there... I did it anyway); they are accessible, they teach classes, too. They hang out at the socials. They party, dance, and get down with the rest of us. Don't be afraid to take one of them out to dance at a social - same for every instructor. Beautiful people. The studio is at the easiest location to get to in the world (and I'm not just a biased Brooklynite, I swear); I also don't usually have a problem finding parking, even with Barclay's Center events nearby. On a bad day, I'll have to park 2 or 3 blocks away. Lots of bicyclists ride over, too; Or take any of the million trains to Atlantic Terminal/Subway. The socials are free and FUN. Every week I say, "I'll just go for an hour..." next thing I know, I'm drinking LOTS of coffee the next morning and not even regretting it. The studio always shares information for other daily events around the city. The special events hosted by the studio, like the Salsa Extravaganza, or the Summer Salsa Cruise around the city - are the perfect parties, where you end up knowing everyone and have an amazing time. Above all, it's not just about a party, not just about dancing... it's the wonderful people everywhere you turn! Seriously, not kidding. Family!! read more

I've been at salsa salsa for a year or so and i m loving it. I go to classes two or three time a week and i never get bored. One class lasts for 2 hours. For the first hour you get a great work out doing salsa shines and the second hour you practice a turn pattern( new one every week). Instructors are great, i cant recommend anybody because they are all fantastic. Besides learning how to dance you get to hang out with the greatest ppl ever( I've meet my second family at salsa salsa dance studio) We all know each other, we all hang out together in different salsa spots in NY. The only thing i regret about my salsa dancing is that i didn't start earlier.... read more

I've been taking lessons with this studio since 2006. These guys are fantastic especially with beginner level students. They are caring and committed to their students. Jose was my instructor for over two years. He is an incredible teacher who provides awesome feedback and is great at breaking down the movement to maximize learning. read more

This is an amazing dance school! I've been coming here for 3 years and love the people, the dynamic instructions and the creativity they display in their teaching. The crowd at the socials are fun and filled with passionate dancers. Plus, with 2 classes a week for $65 bucks a month, can't beat that deal anywhere else! read more

This is a great studio! The students and teachers are all warm and helpful. I couldn't be happier!

I actually signed up for Yelp to write this review. I have been to many Salsa studios in NY and for the first time I have found a place where both the teachers and the students are genuinely nice. Here, you don't find the competitive atmosphere that pervades other schools; students help each other and you have a real sense of community. Not to mention that their classes are two hours long and very reasonably priced. You do not go to Salsa Salsa only to learn some new moves, you go there to have fun while getting some of the best instruction found anywhere. read more

I have been a student at Salsa Salsa Dance studio for six months and yes the classes get full but is so much fun. I began my classes with Andy and I enjoy his class, contrary to a previous comment here at Yelp, Andy does stop and reviews as needed. He also takes time during break to brake it down for you if you ask. I definitely recommend for non-dancers; you will learn how to dance Salsa. The prices are pretty good am considering upgrading to the unlimited. read more

I started dancing salsa over a year ago and have been taking classes at this studio for just over a month. I'm really enjoying it. All of the instructors are great and the people are very welcoming. I really like the set curriculum, as it means that you are going to really learn the moves rather than having the instructor make something up on the spot that you may never see again. At the same time, it's great that there are 6 (I think) different instructors who all bring their own style. I also appreciate that there are several classes that have lasted over a year, so you don't have to worry that your class will get cancelled and there won't be one at your level. At my level, there are many classes at the intermediate level to take, which has been nice. The place seems really well-run and is a great place to learn salsa in a friendly environment. I'd definitely recommend this studio to anyone who wants to learn to dance salsa. read more
