I need to edit my review. The admission was free 6 months ago(Sep 22'), and started charging $7. I think $7 is reasonable. However, it became $12 when I went back in March 2023. This place is Wed short time social. I feel $12 is too expensive.
(I wrote this Sep 22') If you are looking for social on Wed, I recommend this place. Michael, the owner, is always happy to dance with everybody even though they are not taking his classes at this studio. (My former instructor at a different studio dances with his students only who take his private lessons).
I really appreciate the studio's toilet paper is thick and soft, and the bathroom is clean. The studio provides water and cups. Surprisingly free admission. I think Michael should charge us some though. Thank you for creating a great environment, Michael!
Hands down the best Salsa/Bachata studio in the Seattle area for social or performance dancing. Michael and Kelly are both great dancers themselves and they are genuinely interested in helping you learn. The group classes themselves will expose you to a steep learning curve.
While you might be thrown off by the absence of a "formal syllabus" listed on a page, simply try out the classes for 3-4 months to grasp the teaching style. The lessons are well structured and you will learn a wider variety of dance moves here than at some of the other studios where progress is much slower. You will learn much faster here simply because the teachers don't hold you back artificially just to get you to buy more lessons. A certain competitor which is a franchised dance studio has a notorious reputation for wasting students' time and money - I would go with Suenos de Salsa any day!.
I was never pushed to take private lessons here but did so of my own accord to work on finer aspects of the dances I was interested in.
100% worth the time, money and effort!
