Salsa Latina Dance Centre Christchurch

I had been hiring the studio for non-Latin dance practice since 2015. It is an excellent space for practice. It wasn't until three years after, that I finally had the courage to try something new and take Salsa classes from them.The classes are fun and I love their structured style of teaching. The teachers are supportive, encouraging and will work with you towards your dance goals.I highly recommend them whether you're looking for a fun casual fitness activity or into competitive dancing.

I started dancing at Salsa Latina a little over a year ago now. Before starting classes, I always wanted to learn partner dancing, after finding and trying to join in with a few socials overseas.At Salsa Latina, you’re encouraged to go to social nights, which there are plenty of to practice and progress quicker and dancers are supported to compete if ready.After one year I’ve found... an amazing group of friends, fun nights out, quick progression, better coordination and a love for learning competition routines.Everyone should give dancing a go and this is a great place to start!

I have learned from Reuben for approximately 15 years. Himself & the teaching team at Salsa Latina have always been kind, welcoming & make you feel at home. Level of teaching is great, always leave class feeling like you have accomplished what was taught & plenty of opportunity is given to practice what is being taught. A great variety of classes/styles are on offer. Can not recommend Salsa Latina enough. You are literally learning from one of the best ☺️

Definitely a top dance school in New Zealand. I really enjoy the classes and the technique taught here. All teachers are very skilled, patient and make you feel at ease. It's also a lot of fun. Definitely recommend whether you're a beginner or already addicted to dancing!!

Great teachers, nice studio, very competitive pricing. It's a great place to start dancing and probably still the best place in Christchurch for learning Salsa or to get into performance. The fact that every lesson stands on its own and that you pay per lesson rather than per month makes it a good option for people who can't attend every week. The ability to video moves in many classes so that you can practice at home is also a plus. They have a good online presence with easy to understand fee and class structure and the online classes they ran through lockdown were stellar.So why not five stars? The teaching style is a bit impersonal with the teacher rarely if ever dancing with the students and feedback is now instead through a grading system. People who are slower learners might also be better off at a school that builds technique for a move over several classes. Generally highly recommended though.

Such a great welcoming dance studio, a fantastic place to meet new people, dance classes are fun and in no time you will have come along in your dancing. The studio also puts on great social events and social dancing alongside classes. Even if you have danced before or never even tried dancing go along and you'll see how good it is! Thanks Reuben/Robyn and all the other teachers.

Salsa Latina has Reuben, Milena, Robyn. Didn't realised at first that they were top level competitors in latin dancing, not only that, they are top notch teachers.Speaking from experience having had 2 previous teachers in NZ and Europe. They are sharp but make it fun and know how to get people to find the right mix of fun and discipline, thet ultimately needed to progress forward.Whether you like Salsa, Bachata or Kizomba and more.So really all I can say is come along for the top notch teaching and also the very nice and friendly social nights hosted here, as they are a nice and safe place to practice no matter if you're feeling confident or not yet.Without forgetting: the workshops on weekends that include specific teaching on specific moves and from often NZ wide guest specialist teachers. The full Monty!

When I first came to Salsa Latina I had no Latin dance experience at all, so it was a bit daunting. But they made me feel so relaxed, the environment is really friendly and the classes are fun but also really clear and very skilled. You learn so much each time, and its addictive! I do salsa and bachata classes and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something new and fun with some really great knowledgeable people.

Been the best latin dance studio in Christchurch for many years, probably always will be. Take a free taster class, meet some new people! Brilliant skill if you plan to travel, the perfect ice breaker. Teaching fundamentals is really strong here, they'll serve you well.
