Salsa y Control

Andres choreographed my wife and I's First Dance for our wedding reception and it was great! It accommodated my beginner skill and her advanced skill, and was just the right amount of flashy for the audience to stay engaged. Highly recommend this company for all your Salsa needs.

Took the beginner salsa class with Johnny and Kelly. It was a positive experience for the most past and super cheap too if you do Groupon. They teach basics and they a short combo, which you rotate through partners for the rest of the class. I felt that it was very slow-paced and wished that the instructors rotated through as well so that followers/leaders could experience what good dancing feels like. Maybe my experience was worsened by the lack of skilled leaders in the class, so it wasn't fun to dance (it seemed like most of the leaders had issues picking up choreography and dancing with them week to week got a bit irritating as I didn't find that they improved - not sure if this is a class flaw?). I've been hesitant to go back to the studio, but maybe I will try the Allston one. I did like that the teachers had good critiques on my technique, which was the main reason I stuck through the classes. So maybe at a higher level, I will be able to appreciate the experience more.

I have been taking classes at Salsa Y Control for 2-3 years in Alston. I think this may be one of the best schools in Boston area. Friendly environment where you can meet new friends, fun teachers. There is always something new every new session at every class level. Lots of new people coming here all the time. You can become part of the student team when and if you are ready. Salsa dancing skills and confidence I gained here opened a number of entertainment options for me in Boston. Happy to be part of Salsa y Control community.
