Private Salsa Lessons in Los Angeles — $150

Learn to dance like the city is watching.

Private salsa and bachata lessons in Los Angeles are $150 per 60-minute lesson — at your home, your venue, or a partner studio in North Hollywood or San Gabriel. Your lesson is taught by Avissh Trivedi — teaching since 2012, starting at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Las Vegas — or by an instructor he personally trained.

One-on-one or with a partner — salsa, bachata, and kizomba lessons built entirely around you, your music, and your goals. No crowded group classes, no fixed schedule, no pressure. Every instructor is trained by the founder, Avissh Trivedi, who has taught ballroom and Latin dance since 2012.

Lessons that come to you

Los Angeles is not a city that makes anything easy — least of all a commute to a dance class. So we flipped it. Your instructor comes to you, anywhere in LA, with the music and the plan. Prefer a proper sprung floor and mirrors? We’ll meet you at one of our partner studios in North Hollywood or San Gabriel instead. Either way, the lesson is one hundred percent yours.

Three styles, one goal: get you moving

Salsa for energy and flash. Bachata for connection and play. Kizomba for smooth, grounded calm. Learn one deeply or sample all three — your lesson plan follows your curiosity, not a fixed syllabus. Every lesson ends with you dancing to real music, because that’s the whole point.

For every body and every love story

Lead, follow, or learn to switch — your dance, your call. Dance with whoever you love, however you love, and we’ll meet you exactly where you are.

Questions

Good to know.

I have two left feet. Can you really teach me?

Yes — total beginners are the heart of what we do. Private lessons mean nobody is watching, nothing is rushed, and every step is broken down until it feels natural. If you can walk, we can get you dancing.

Do I need a partner?

Not at all. Come solo and your instructor partners with you the whole lesson. Come as a couple and you both learn together — same lesson, same price.

Where do lessons happen?

Wherever works for you: your home or backyard, your event venue, or one of our hourly partner studios in North Hollywood or San Gabriel. We teach across greater Los Angeles, including the San Gabriel Valley — Pasadena, Alhambra, and Arcadia.

Which style should I start with?

If you want the classic LA social scene, start with salsa. If you love slower, closer, more musical movement, bachata. Kizomba is smooth, grounded, and addictive. Not sure? Tell us what music you love and we’ll point you right.

Who teaches the lessons?

Avissh Trivedi, the founder, or an instructor he personally trained — you’ll know who before you book. Avissh started as a ballroom instructor at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Las Vegas, taught ballroom and Bollywood at Elite Dance Studio, then founded the Euphoria Dance LA wedding studio (2017–2024) before opening Salsa Dance LA. Meet Avissh.

How long have you been teaching?

Salsa Dance LA opened in 2021. Avissh has taught since 2012 — he started at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Las Vegas and ran the Euphoria Dance LA wedding studio for seven years before this.

Do you teach group salsa classes?

Not open drop-in classes — every lesson is private. Want to learn with friends? Book a private group lesson for your crew: you and a partner learn together for the same $150, and larger groups get a quote by headcount on our Private Events page.

I took a series of private lessons with Avissh and he is superb at his craft. He knows the most important technical pieces and I feel advanced after lessons with him.

Saimadhav · private lesson · Airbnb review

We had a lovely time at this private dance lesson! Avissh was an awesome instructor and really broke all the steps down so they were easy to learn. He taught us a few steps of the tango, salsa, and Bachata and gave us a bit of history of them. We really liked how he would give us pointers as we were practicing too. Highly recommend this experience!

Backner · private lesson · Airbnb review

Really great class! Avishh broke everything down so the steps were easy to learn and piece together. If you're at all interested in learning partner/ballroom dance, I would highly recommend this experience!
