FAQ
Good to know.
Everything students ask before their first lesson. Don't see your question? Text us at (424) 944-3939.
Where are your lessons held?
Wherever suits you best. We teach at your home, venue, or event space anywhere in greater Los Angeles, or at one of our hourly partner studios in North Hollywood and Studio City. We’re especially active across the San Gabriel Valley — Pasadena, Alhambra, and Arcadia.
Do you have your own studio?
No — and that’s the point. Salsa Dance LA is a studio without walls: your instructor comes to you, or meets you at a partner studio when you want mirrors and a professional floor. You never pay for a building; you pay for teaching.
Which dance styles do you teach?
Salsa, bachata, and kizomba. Start with one or mix them — your lessons follow your taste in music and your goals, not a fixed curriculum.
I’ve never danced before. Is that a problem?
It’s our favorite starting point. Private lessons mean no audience and no pace but your own. Most beginners are genuinely dancing — to real music, with real confidence — by the end of the first session.
Do I need a partner?
No. Come solo and your instructor is your partner for the lesson. Come with a partner, a date, or a friend and you’ll learn together at no extra charge.
Are lessons LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Proudly, visibly, always. Lead, follow, or switch roles whenever you like, and dance with whoever you love. Every couple and every body is welcome on our floor.
How do I book a lesson?
Call, text, or WhatsApp (424) 944-3939, or email info@salsadancela.com. Tell us what you’d like to learn, your neighborhood, and the times that work — we’ll confirm the details and you’re booked. Online scheduling is coming to this site soon.
Do you do wedding first dances?
Yes — it’s one of our specialties. We choreograph to your song, rehearse at your venue when possible, and build everything around your comfort level. See Wedding Dance Lessons for details.
Can you host a group or party?
Absolutely. From date nights for two to full celebrations, we bring the dance floor to birthdays, team events, quinceañeras, and more. See Private Events.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in and shoes that let you pivot — smooth-soled shoes or clean sneakers are perfect. Heels are welcome but never required.
Still curious? Just ask.
One text and you'll have answers — and probably a lesson on the calendar.
