Will guests need to bring anything to the experience?
- Mosquito repellent
- Comfortable shoes (avoid flip-flops)
- Breathable clothes: Since salsa dancing can be quite energetic, it’s important to wear clothes that are breathable and allow you to move freely. Choose lightweight materials that will keep you cool and comfortable, while also keeping in mind the venue’s dress code.
- Phones fully charged and with enough memory for taking photos and videos
Note:
- Suitable for Ages 6+
- No experience or dance partner is necessary
- I have established a minimum age of 6 years old for the class, but if your 5-year-old child can handle and enjoy the class, please do not hesitate to purchase a spot for them. I love children, and they are also a part of your vacation.
- The venue features high ceilings and, in a way, an open concept. Please dress comfortably and in lightweight clothing, and remember that Puerto Rico tends to be hot, especially when we’ll be dancing.
