I took a year of salsa classes in South Africa. Cuban style. And I loved it, but Cuba isn't somewhere I wanted to take a group right now.

I'd been to Colombia once, for work, just before Covid. I turned 30 there, and it was one of those trips that stays with you. The music, the energy, the way people moved. Something about Colombia makes salsa feel like it belongs to the street, not a studio.

When I'm dancing, and it's going well, I feel free. Not thinking, not performing, just completely myself. I wanted to build a trip around that feeling.

What to Expect

Eight days in Colombia, and you'll never stand at the edge of a dance floor again. Mornings learning to move with people who make it genuinely fun. Afternoons are yours: the city, the heat, the colour, or nothing at all.

❋ The Style

There's no single salsa. Colombian is faster, more percussive, and built around energy and footwork. Despite how it looks, it's more approachable than you'd expect, and closer to what most Latinos actually dance socially.

❋ The Group

Women-only, eight guests maximum. Small enough that you'll actually get to know everyone, large enough that you're not stuck with the same two people. Real conversations, and connections that last well beyond the trip.

❋ The Experience

Not a performance. No routines to memorise, no pressure to be good by day two. You'll build from rhythm and feeling through to social confidence, until dancing with a stranger stops feeling like something to survive and starts feeling like something to enjoy.

❋ What You Leave With

The ability to walk into any Latin bar, anywhere, and actually dance. Not perfectly. But freely, without apologising, without stopping to think. That shift is the whole point.

People dancing indoors, focus on a woman's legs in heels, with others visible in the background.

Day by Day

Arrive at your boutique hotel. In the evening, the group gathers for dinner. Later, your first encounter with salsa music: no teaching, no exercises. Just listening, watching, letting it arrive.
No steps today. Morning session focused entirely on feeling music in your body, walking to rhythm, timing games, and movement exploration. Afternoon introduces solo basics: weight transfer, flow, and very light partner work. In the evening, your first real salsa venue. You observe, you absorb, you join when it feels right.
The core salsa step: timing, posture, and the leader/follower structure. First real partner work. The afternoon is completely free: rest, explore the city, do nothing. In the evening, an optional beginner social night: supportive, low stakes, no performance.
From steps to dancing. The morning session combines steps, turns, timing variations, and connection while moving. Afternoon is improvisation: dancing full songs without stopping, reading the music, finding your own response to it. In the evening, your first real immersion night: coaches are present but stepping back.
No dancing today. A full day curated around where you actually are: culture, nature, food. The group goes somewhere together. This is where the friendships deepen, outside of the studio. Evening free.
The session that most women say changes everything. Morning covers the real-world skills nobody teaches: how to enter a dance floor with ease, how to start dancing with someone you don't know, how to recover when you lose the timing without stopping, and how to restart without it showing. Afternoon is a long-form social dancing practice. Evening is a guided salsa night, coaches are close but provide minimal intervention.
Morning free, enjoy where you are. In the afternoon, each woman builds two or three personal movements she actually owns. Not a choreography but expression. In the evening, you go out: real venues, real music, real dancing. A celebration of where you started and where you are now.
A slow morning. Farewell breakfast. Departures. You leave with rhythm, confidence, and something that's yours now. Airport drop-off.
