Such a great and fun class! Jennie & Juan Carlo are very patient and kind - you can tell they love what they do and just want to share the experience

Excellent! I had been looking for clases good for absolute beginners and this company did not disappoint. After passing through several scams and negative experiences at other places, I was skeptical and even had a situation with the bank being involved with this company. I have to say Joel Salsa is extremely responsive and accommodating. The communication was impeccable throughout the process and everything was resolved. Now my husband and I are in level two and the progress in less than 3 months has been astounding. I cannot recommend Joel Salsa enough!

I practice with Joel and Maria's videos almost every day, so I feel like I know them well. They're incredibly sweet. As a new dancer at 60, the option to restart, retry, and rewatch is crucial. This online class complements my in-studio partner work here in Ohio and has been incredibly helpful. I enjoy dancing and learning with these instructors. I can definitely see my progress.

Joel and Maria (and co-instructors Jennie, Giovanni, Celia, and David) are engaged, talented, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructors. I highly recommend for beginning to intermedia social dancers looking to build strong foundations in shines, partnerwork, and styling.

Such a fun Salsa class! I did the beginner lessons. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient. They really take their time to show you. They are open to answer any questions and go over any steps with you. I’m looking forward to starting level 2. I would recommend this class if you’re thinking about starting.

Amazing time! First time taking a class but most definitely not my last!

I came to Joel Salsa after wanting a more structured salsa class that could build upon itself and offer more technical details.I practiced at another studio where you could drop in and out at any point, which is great for flexibility and exposure to different moves in a small period of time, but more difficult for building up technique.Joel Salsa solves for that. You buy a 1-month course which has a structured "syllabus," but you still have some flexibility in that you can drop into classes on different days in that cycle in case you can't make the class you originally signed up for.I've found that I've been able to get a deeper understanding of salsa technique thanks to A) the 4-week program structure B) having two teachers for each class so you can see both the lead and the follower technique at all times, and C) the 1.5-hour-long classes (which allows for more space for both teaching and practicing compared to hour-long classes).I've taken classes with two sets of instructors, and they have all been clear, attentive, and engaging.Just one thing to note if you're coming from a different studio: they dance on2 but start stepping on the "kung kung" (the "8-and" beat as opposed to the downbeat of a phrase). This takes a little bit of readjustment, but you can get the hang of it in a couple of classes.
