La Candela shines with its solid structure and professional instructors, and now and then, parties are held for practice outside of class.

The dance school offers various levels from beginner courses to advanced training. The introductory courses, which teach the basics in a few weeks, are particularly popular. The dance steps, figures, and turns are explained clearly and understandably. So, finally, you can get rid of the “two left feet” syndrome. Additionally, there are workshops on Salsa musicality, which not only teach movements but also help dancers feel and express the music better. Course times are usually scheduled weekly, and enrollment is straightforward via the website. As a bonus, there are often free practica parties where you can try out moves and deepen what you’ve learned.
