One of the highlights of my visit to Panama - Had a blast with the crew at Salsa Safari! I learned some new moves and met some great people. The dancing venue was in point too-danced until my feet said no mas!

Find your inner dancer - You don’t need to know how to dance you just need to bring your joy and excitement. I don’t do Latin dancing. But I and my friend had such a marvels time. And we definitely would not have dared try dancing at the Salsa bar without instructions and chaperone. Go go. Amazing time.

Fun night in Panama - This was a great evening and a great introduction to salsa! The instructor did a wonderful job of explaining and showing each of us how to move! Ending at a club was fun and I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing Experience - It was my last night in Panama and i decided to book this Salsa class, it was one of the best highlights for me in Panama. I had such an amazing time. My instructor was really patient while teaching me the steps for someone who has never danced before. He has convinced me to take up Salsas classes when I get back home. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Cuban salsa lessons and evenings - We are experienced salsa dancers but Marvin gave us a great course where we learned great legwork 😅then he took us to a salsa bar (the balboa) then safely brought us back (it’s important there 😅 ) great bar with DJ dancers who bring in addition to instruments and cheer you if they think you danced well or felt the music 🫣 crazy atmosphere!!! Thanks again to Marvin

Salsa Night - As a solo traveler, this was an awesome experience! Nelson was great, he took his time to make sure you understood the steps and got the concept. I would highly recommend doing this tour for anyone

Great Lesson, Club Experience Mixed - I had a private lesson with Francisco who was very patient with me as I negotiated my “two left feet”. By the end of the lesson, I felt like I had started to master the basics. I had assumed that we would be immediately heading to a salsa club elsewhere in Casco Viejo. I was surprised when he said that the next activity would be at the Tropicana Salsa Club at the casino within the Hilton along Avenida Balboa. As the event was over an hour later, Francisco was very kind to drop me off at my hotel in another neighborhood where I refreshed before heading back out to the Hilton. When I arrived at the Hilton, I easily found the Tropicana but I never found Francisco. I tried using the chat support to reach him or somebody but never got a response. I have to assume that either he got lost in the crowd himself or never came. In any event, the dance performance was fun to watch. As I had arrived just in time, I watched the event mostly on the video screens that the casino was thoughtful enough to provide. After a snack break following the performance, I watched the live salsa band play for a while but no one had yet dipped their toe onto the dance floor. It certainly wasn’t gonna be me as I was not going to cold-approach what I presumed would be experienced amateurs; I had thought perhaps Francisco would help facilitate those opportunities by asking for patients from would-be partners. In any event, after maybe twenty minutes of the band, I made my way back to my hotel. In summary, I had a great experience with my lesson. The subsequent situation at the club is where I remove my star. But I definitely recommend lessons at Salsa Safari: I already knew they were popular and if you have even more coordination than I do, you’ll learn a lot and have a lot of fun!

Not as described - The location for the class is a small, cute studio. The instructor was great... explained things & repeated basics as much as we needed. That portion lasted about an hour. The next part got weird... I thought we would go dancing in the "wild" but instead he took us to the Hilton Casino. He offered to dance with each of us then literally bounced. Granted he said he wasn't feeling well but he could have at least told us other places to go on our own. We sat there for about an hour waiting for the "show". We watched a dance group perform then we left. I found a dancehall party for us to go to and have fun. I booked what I thought was a salsa night. It was really an overpriced class that dumped us off.
