I have always enjoyed social dancing, and recently I got the itch to try some formal salsa dance lessons. I decided to try Salsabysal after reading the Google reviews, and Im sure glad I did! Ive been going to Salsabysal for about a month now. Since day one, the instructors have made me so comfortable and they have turned what would normally be an intimidating situation into an exciting new venture. I would highly recommend starting with the private lessons. They gave me a great jump start before joining the group classes. My private lessons were mostly with Karla, who is a wonderful instructor! She was capable of teaching new things in such an efficient manner that I never left a class feeling like it wasnt worth the money. Sal was usually around to help with the mens styling/technique. Sal can explain the mens styling by breaking it down into such simple steps, that it usually "clicks" and that light bulb comes on. Within two weeks, I was out at the salsa clubs. Sal leads most of group classes, and does an excellent job teaching and making it fun. Its a chance to learn, and practice with other people. You constantly rotate partners so that you get a chance to dance with multiple people (which is important since everyone dances different). The social atmosphere is great! There are many opportunities to practice, other than just the classes. Sal is constantly inviting everyone out to the clubs after the classes, and usually a group of around 15-20 show up. There are events, cookouts, birthday parties... I feel like my social circle has grown tremendously in the short time Ive been there. It has been so much fun, and now I keep looking forward to the next time!

I am very pleased with what Sal has been able to teach me and continue to enjoy his lessons. Beforehand, I had no musicality whatsoever, nor had I ever even stepped onto any dance floor. I called Sal because I had to learn to dance before a trip to Mexico for my fiancés cousins Quinceañera. I was so nervous my first lesson and thought it was crazy but I had no other real option. Sal was able to help me find the beat, learn a variety of moves, and relax. That is very hard to do when you are doing something that is totally out of your comfort zone. I even through him a curveball towards the end when I found out our main dance was going to be Cumbia not Salsa as we had been practicing. I came back in 1 last time before my trip and he showed me what to do. I had a blast down south in Mexico and I have continued to take lessons. This time I am bringing my fiancé so that she may see the man that helped me dance with her. This will be something that I can carry with me for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Sal to anyone in need of a great dance instructor, especially if your in a time crunch like I was!

The Salsa by Sal dance studio, run by Sal, is a great dance school with effective and consistent group lessons for all levels to learn and improve Salsa On 1 and Bachata. The group classes are well timed between 7 and 9pm every day to get to conveniently after work and before immersing yourself in the various venues of the Latin dance scene in the nearby Addison. The classes will improve your confidence and skill level and are fun. Sal is very experienced and professionally capable to easily determine anyones individual improvement needs and tailor private tuition accordingly. His intoxicating charm makes every encounter a fun experience. Together with his wonderful partner in business and life, Karla, they create an authentic family feeling to the school that attracts and captivates beginners and pros alike. The dance community around them attending the school is brimming with beautiful people - inside and out. The competitive pricing and the quality of teaching are easily standing up against teachers in bigger scenes in major capitals elsewhere in the world - worth every penny!

Joseph and Ana are very talented couple instructors. I have taken their group lessons as well as their privates and they are very good at both. For Joseph, he talks to you in english not salsa language...A language u can understand and translate into your smooth easy to to do dance moves. He can teach a guy how to lead. He can teach girls how to follow. And then steps in Ana for you to either practice what you learned or fix something u got that needs attention, she is a smooth dancer, perfect instructor and gives you the needed feedback to continue along with your privates. In just 2 (to be honest) after the first, i found a huge difference in my style. I was able to work on stuff and "GET IT" than in all the group classes i have ever taken (its been a while). If you are SERIOUS about looking and feeling smooth on the dance floor, i highly recommend these talented couple for your private classes. I tried and i know its worth it.

Im 23, have never been dancing anywhere and finally took the opportunity to have a night out w/friends, learning to dance. Felt nervous going in, but Sal is so personable, professional and funny (perfect combo for a teacher) getting us to relax and have fun as we learned the basics of Bachata, in the level 1 class :) The studio atmosphere is classy and comfortable, with a dignified air about it, making it a great place for all ages to come and have a safe, worry-free night, forgetting the work week and dancing under the instruction of a teacher who makes you feel welcome and full of potential. Hes a great host- youll feel like he personally invited you to come enjoy the night in his class and wants nothing more than to be sure youre enjoying yourself :) A humble, confident leader who thinks more of others than himself is hard to come by. I highly encourage yall to spend an evening dancing w/Sal :)

Salsa by Sal is a fantastic place to learn salsa, bachata and other latin dances in Dallas. Sals classes stress learning the fundamentals, and then quickly adding turns and spin combinations that you can go out into a club the same night and use. He does this by demonstrating a move, and then having class members pair up and try the move without music, then switch partners, then try the move with music, and switch partners again to continue practicing. The end result is youve learned a cool move, have met everyone else in the class, and its been a fun relaxed learning environment. Sals style of dancing is great for going out to the club, and emphasizes turns as well as footwork, and Sal is an expert in both. The atmosphere is extremely friendly, and I have become close friends with many of the people I met through classes, and we go out together almost weekly.

I have wanted to learn Bachata for a long time. I only recently decided to swallow my pride and dive in head-first. After only two private lessons, Ive already seen myself making better progress than I thought I would in three or four. Sal and Carla are both incredibly approachable, down-to-Earth people who have a remarkable passion for what they do. Its honestly truly refreshing to see two people who have genuinely dedicated their lives to sharing their passion with others. To anyone (especially any GUY) that is debating whether or not to take dance lessons, I would highly recommend just doing it. Youll be so glad you did and when you do, make sure you take them at Salsabysal Dance Studio of Salsa and Bachata. I dont regret my decision to learn and neither will you. I cannot wait to take my girl out Bachata dancing.
