What To Expect
Dancing has never been so much fun. To the rhythm of SALSA AND CHAMPETA! For 1:30 hours we will be on a rooftop inside the walled city. We will start with a welcome drink to get to know each other much better, and then we will learn together about the most popular Latin rhythms: Salsa and La Champeta, the latter is our local rhythm and it is a musical rhythm that reminds us of the connection of Cartagena with Africa, it emerged from the bowels of the city's periphery, a symbol that ended up becoming part of the identity. We have more than 5 years of experience sharing stories through tourism and now is the time to show our culture through dance. This experience is ideal for solo travelers, and also for groups, as an activation activity and to learn everything you need to hit the streets and feel like a local! After the session, you will receive a message with the Playlist of our most popular songs.

5.00It is a very pleasant experience. Instructors make you feel quite comfortable. It is designed in English and Spanish and is clearly understood in both languages. Learn the most important basic steps of salsa and champagne while watching the sunset on a rooftop
A great experience!

5.00We had a such a great time learning how to dance the Champeta as well as the Salsa. Our dance instructor and host were energetic and knowledgeable about the history of the dance. We were lucky enough to have a small group setting they made us feel comfortable enough to let loose and enjoy the evening. My friends and I left wanting to learn more. And the unexpected fireworks made a perfect end to the nigh. A must do when in Cartagena.
Absolutely, yes!

5.00This was SO fun!!! Our instructors were enthusiastic and excited and the vibe was awesome. The sunset view from the rooftop was beautiful, and it was fun getting to chat with the others in our group. We learned some Champeta and also some salsa. It wasn’t in partners, but instead we learned some choreography of each style. It was super fun and I would do this class over and over again if I was still in Cartagena! Highly recommend!!!
Great instructors, great time!

5.00Our group really enjoyed learning Champeta and different forms of Salsa. The instructor and host were energetic and really friendly. Our earlier activity ran past its time and we really appreciated them accommodating us. This is a great company for all to experience Afro-Colombian culture!
Dance it out!

5.00The Champeta with us experience was so much fun! We did this activity as part of a girls trip celebrating our 50th birthdays and it was an an equally enjoyable activity for those of us who don't dance at all as well as those who are dancehall divas! The team is amazing, high energy, professional dancers, and will ensure you have Insta worthy video. Take this class alone or with friends, you won't regret it!
Super fun!!! The...
