This is hands down the best place to learn mambo/Salsa on 2 in Seattle! Benny and Ashley are so dedicated to their students and studio. The people here are friendly and are eager to learn.
They also give you the opportunity to either be a great social dancer or join a team to perform at congresses/latin festivals. I recommend this studio to everyone!
Benny and Ashley are fantastic instructors, and do a lot to make each class as fun, engaging, and instructive as they can.
The classes are also structured for a variety of skill levels, from beginner series targeted at dancers who are brand new to salsa or bachata all the way higher level classes with footwork and partnerwork techniques designed to be challenging and valuable to dancers who've been learning for years.
In addition to socials, individual and partnerwork teams, the studio also regularly hosts workshops from professional dancers from all over the world. I've learned so much at Baila District and have every intention of continuing learning there for years.
Baila District's sensual bachata classes are excellent. If you're looking to make progress and improve as a bachata dancer, look no further. The heavy focus on technique and fundamentals has made a huge difference in the quality of both my solo and partner dancing over the last 6 months since I started taking classes here. Margarita and Johnny and Alice and Ankur are excellent instructors who really care about their students and are always seeking opportunities to improve themselves and their instruction.
I also appreciate that Baila District consistently brings top level bachata dancers from out of town to put on workshops and teach and it really benefits the entire Seattle bachata community as a whole. Super awesome place - would highly recommend taking classes here.
