- Mark Z6 contributionsBest Salsa Dance Experience. Do not miss this opportunity if you are in Havana.If I give a 10 star rating I would. Yali is an incredible teacher. My wife and I did 12 hours of classes in 4 days and we are already planning to return later this year for another 14 days. If you want to learn, contact her. If you can dance and want to improve, call her. She is nothing shy of incredible.

- Safari4779274 contributionsSalsa Family private Class :-)As a family (3 couples) we booked a private salsa dance lesson with Yali and had a lot of fun. :-) Yali and her very experienced students taught us the first basics of Cuban salsa in 1.5 hours. We will remember this lovely afternoon for a long time and can recommend Yali's dance school without reservation.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 11, 2024
- Janet NSan Mateo, California52 contributionsI keep returning.The best dance school. I have been going for 8 years and keep going back. Yaly the owner is a great business owner, she makes sure her teachers are well trained and matches students appropriately. She makes her clients feel like friends and family. Thank you Yaly and all of your instructors.Visited February 2024Traveled soloWritten April 28, 2024
- SPReed94960118 contributionsGreat Salsa Classes - Fun and Instructive!My husband and I have zero salsa experience and left after 2 hours with a thirst to keep dancing! From their encouragement, we went to Bar Salsa Havana that night to try out our new skills and had a great time! Yali was super responsive on WhatsApp and we scheduled our class for the next day. Our teachers Oney and Yordenis were instructive and patient teachers who made our experience successful and fun. Go native and learn to salsa!Visited December 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 8, 2025

I had a wonderful visit to Havana improving my Salsa dance skills with Yaly and team. Yaly made visiting easy as she picked me up at the airport and arranged a casa particular close by her studio.
Yaly is an excellent teacher. It was great learning Cuban Salsa moves. Her instructors are also very talented and I enjoyed learning and dancing with them.
We had a lot of fun. Yaly and family brought along music, food and drinks and we danced Salsa, Bachata and Merengue on the El Malecón late into the evening . Another day we went to the beach - you can’t beat Salsa dancing and swimming in the Caribbean sea!
I highly recommend taking lessons with Yaly and her instructors.

We were only in Havana for 3 days but made last-minute plans to include a 10-hour salsa dance package for complete beginners. Where better to learn the salsa basics than in Havana! Yaly and team gave us a warm and friendly welcome, and were more than happy to offer flexible options that allowed us to adjust the timing of the lessons around our plans to take in the sights and sounds of the city. We appreciated that we wouldn't have enough time to become overnight salsa experts, but were given the perfect blend of training to understand the fundamental steps and moves. Tips and advice were shared constructively and at just the right level, to not overcomplicate things and maintain the self confidence of the students. Based on what we had learned in those 5 hours each, we had enough confidence to actually go dancing in one of the local bars! Whilst we still have plenty to learn, the course gave us a very strong base from which we can practice (and enjoy!) salsa...with some bachata steps thrown in as a bonus! It was also interesting to note that when our course had finished, some local youngsters turned up for their own dance classes - a great testament to Yaly and team that the school isn't just there for the benefit of tourists! Muchas gracias por todo!!

I had one set of salsa classes with Oscar and another set of bachata classes with Laydin. Both are unforgettable experiences in Havana. The teaching method is thorough and there are a lot of exercises to ensure you master the moves. While Oscar or Laydin was teaching, there were other teachers too helping with the lessons. Everyone in the school was friendly, kind, helpful but at the same time highly professional. They also understood I was on holiday in Havana, so they were flexible in terms if time which made me relieved.
Yaly came from time to time to check the progress and to suggest more artistic movements.
They were also helpful outside class. Oscar helped me on the first day to navigate around the city and to find my needs which wasn't easy in the first days in Cuba. I also had fun in one of his singing events (not at school).
All in all, I recommend the experience at this school which will be a highlight of your Cuba trip.

I was lucky enough to be able to come and learn dancing in Salsa Estilo…What a pleasure!
Yaly and her team of dancers are not just amazing dance instructors but also full of passion, patience, enthusiasm and fun. I looked forward to every class I attended. I danced two hours a day but I could have danced many more hours! The atmosphere in the school is relaxed but at the same time very professional!
In two weeks it is unbelievable how much I learned even though at the beginning I had two left feet!!! I dance now with more confidence, thanks to this fantastic team of instructors.
I took Spanish lessons there as well and there was the same professionalism mixed with fun and flavores.
I can not use enough words to describe how great this school is in every possible way!! They make you feel so welcome and you feel like you have friends in Cuba!
I highly recommend it for both beginners and more advanced or if you like to improve your Spanish
I will for sure come back …

I booked a week of salsa lessons, given my progress I stayed for an extra week!
Excellent teachers and instructors, friendly, patient, excellent teaching
Family and professional environment at the same time, where you can experience the real Cuba first-hand!
Stop by after class because when the teachers rehearse some choreography it's a show!

I spent a about 5 days in Havana at the end of July learning how to salsa, the cuban way with the danse school « Salsa estilo Cuba »
Early on, Yaly made it her goal to teach me during my stay. Her love for the music and her patience and total devotion made me fall in love with « their » style of teaching: very accommodating, more than flexible with my schedule and her professionalism made
me want to return for more and gladly recommend them as well to others.
If you are looking for someone to focus « just on you » and help you improve your style of dansing casino, Yaly and her team are the ones you should select to experience the difference. I learn a lot in so few days and am now building onto that foundation to progress.
I am blessed to have met her and feel proud to suggest that you give them a try on your next adventure to/in Havana.

I had the absolute best time at Salsa Estilo! Yaly, the owner of the school, is so nice and made me feel at home right away. For 2 weeks I took classes from Ayamey who is a very sweet, positive and professional teacher. I would definitely recommend asking for her when coming to take class at Salsa Estilo!

Excellent, brilliant. 5* (Dance School Salsa Estilo Cuba)
I was blown away by Yaly’s technique when it came to teaching salsa.
I am an ancient human being who has literally never danced in his life (but love music and watching dancing) I’m absolutely petrified of it. I dance like a robot - an old one - with a stick up it’s bum!
It took me 10 days and a couple of beers to pluck up the courage to ask Yaly for dancing lessons (this was one of the main reasons I came to Cuba) As soon as she started the first lesson I’d wished that I hadn’t wasted those 10 days!
I literally have 3 left feet. The patience Yaly displayed was amazing. She coaxed and cajoled me into performing a reasonable excuse for a salsa dance and that says more than enough about Yali, and I’m so chuffed I can do a fair salsa too (IMO :)
Not only is she a wonderful teacher but she’s also a wonderful person who will go out of her way to help you with your holiday.
Yaly, I’m eternally grateful for what I managed to achieve which was only accomplished because of your fine self, and let’s not forget your friends whose feet I annihilated too! (So sorry :)
I wish you, your family and teaching partners all the best forever.
P.S. this is not OTT, the longer version was!!

Yali and the team made us feel very welcome from the start. Initially we wanted to join a group session however due to us arriving late we ended up having a private class which actually suited us better. It was a lot of fun to the point that the 1 hr session went by so quickly. Thank you Yali and team. We will treasure this experience for a long time.

Yaly is the best! I visited La Habana en July of 2023 with a friend. The private classes with Yaly and her profesoras were the highlight of the trip!
She has a great studio to dance out of and her and her family are so welcoming. We learned a ton and it was a lot of fun as well. You can’t leave cuba without learning some salsa cubana.
Also, especially being from the US and things are little hard to plan since we can’t use our credit cards and phones, Yaly helped me plan my trip, picked me up from the airport, found a casa particular close to her studio, and helped with the currency exchange.
If you’re going to La Habana definitely take some private classes while you’re there!
