Joel Salsa NYC is a salsa dance school located in New York City that offers various levels of Salsa on2, also known as Salsa New York Style or Mambo. The instructors are professional and the group classes go beyond just numbers and counting, delving into the rhythm and music of Salsa to help students better understand and feel the dance. One student had a great experience taking classes with Joel and Maria a few years ago and was excited to return after an unforeseen life event. They appreciated the patience, down-to-earth attitude, and humor of the instructors and enjoyed the challenging but delightful classes. Another student attended two salsa lessons and found the overall experience enjoyable, with each lesson lasting 90 minutes but feeling like time flies by. They noted that every student has their own pace when learning salsa, but the classes are structured well and the instructors are very good. A beginner student enrolled in the Salsa Level 1 classes and was happy with the positive energy, fun learning environment, and structured classes. They felt that they were building a strong foundation with the help of instructors who taught technique with minute details such as posture, balance, leading and following, and understanding the instruments in salsa music. The student highly recommended Joel Salsa NYC as the place to learn Salsa in New York.
so fun! their instructions were super clear, they take their time explaining and answering questions. they have a formula for the steps but also will break them down and show you often, to help you remember. the partner work was the part that seemed the most intimidating to me, but that’s truly when all the steps come together into a dance. they make it easier by rotating partners so if you’re new and signed up alone, you’ll have the chance to dance and learn with everyone.
I had a wonderful experience when I was taking classes with Joel and Maria a few years ago. Unfortunately, due to an unforseen life event I could no longer attend.I knew that when I was able to resume Salsa classes, that I would return to their classes... and so, I was super ecstatic to finally do so this April.I decided to jump into level 4 since I've been dancing for many years and I wanted to challenge myself toregain full motor skills in my recovery.I enjoy that Joel and Maria are patient, down to earth, their humor when engaging with their students, and their teaching style.I will continue to share and recommend their classes with othersJoel and Maria we greatly...read full review
I've had the chance to attend two salsa lessons and I've really enjoyed them so far. Each lesson lasts for 90 minutes, but it feels like time flies by. Every student has their own pace when learning salsa, but the overall experience of the lesson is quite delightful and enjoyable.
