Planning Your Lessons

How Many Lessons Will We Need?

The number of lessons depends on your song, the style you choose and how comfortable you want to feel on your wedding day. Some couples need just a few sessions to learn simple steps, while others prefer more time to develop a personalized choreography. We’ll recommend a plan based on your goals and wedding date.

We recommend starting about two months before your wedding, although many couples reach out about a month before, and that can work well too. If your wedding is even closer, message us anyway. Lesson length is flexible, so we can adapt the schedule to your availability.

Simple first dance: fewer sessions may be enough.
Personalized choreography: allow more time to practice.
Short timeline: we’ll help you make the most of the time available.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Las clases fueron muy buenas. Sentimos que con cada clase íbamos mejorando un poquito más y aprendiendo cosas nuevas. Llegamos sin saber bailar y después de las 5 clases ya nos sentíamos mucho más cómodos y con suficiente confianza para bailar en una fiesta. La pasamos muy bien y disfrutamos mucho el proceso. ¡Súper recomendado!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great place to get private lessions. You get personal attention unlike many other places, you have private studio for the lession which helps keep focus and the best matches pace you need, and of course the teachers are great, professional and fun to learn with.
They also have really good packages for hours which makes it relatively cheap for what you get.
I don't have anything bad to say and really recommand the place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I walked in knowing zero bachata. Like, zero. Two left feet and no rhythm to speak of. I signed up for the 8-session package and let Lisa work her magic.
Fast forward a few classes, and boom!!  I'm a confident beginner! Lisa is a fantastic teacher. She's funny, super professional, and never annoying about it (you know the type, she's not that type). She's patient too, which she needs to be with students like me, and her teaching method just... works.
If you're thinking about taking a class, stop thinking, go to the Academia and just do it. You won't regret it.
Go Lisa! Uno, dos, tres, tap!! 💃🕺
Thanks to Yul the owner and his mom Edy, many thanks for the coffees ☕️☕️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was an absolute pleasure attending here for 4 months doing private classes 2x a week. Isabela was a 10/10 teacher who made the experience fun, engaging, and pushed me to get better. Thank you Yul and team for making my experience in Medellin so incredible.

I am a beginner and the teachers were fantastic, fun, and very professional. I had so much fun and I highly recommend you go as well. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Santo Baile for an amazing lesson!

Geweldige prive danslessen gehad, erg fijne begeleiders, we leerde veel in slechts 8 uur aan lessen en ze letten ook op de kleine details, wat een geoot verschil maakt voor echt beter worden in bachata of salsa. Ook een fijne lokatie
