WOW
Jun 2018 • Couples
I have frequented many salsa shows (and taken several classes myself) and I was completely blown away by this performance!! It is interactive and the drinks are always flowing so the liquid courage gets everyone in the building moving whether they are great dancers or not so great. From the costumes to the music to the service, everything was top notch. I could not keep my smile off my face the whole night. If you ever have a chance to see a show, DO IT!!! I promise you will not regret doing so and it will be the highlight of your stay in Cali.

This show is stunning. The dancers were incredible, very fast and extremely talented. The wardrobe was from another world. Music beyond words. Food to die for. This was surly one of the best experiences we’ve had in Colombia. For me a MUST in Cali.

We were looking for the best place to give us a real idea of what a salsa show was and we found it. The venue was excellent, great location and good service. The show was fantastic, the dancers and their dresses were really colorful and beautiful, the band couldn't be better. Overall we show was GREAT.

No better way to immerse oneself into the rhythms and sounds of Salsa!
Cali is regarded as the capital of Colombia's salsa scene and Ensalsate will certainly leave you in no doubt about this fact!

A fun, hot and energy packed show that will leave you hungry for more! With over 80 dances and musicians and 500 changes of custom one is taken on a world wide tour of salsa based rhythms and dances.

Playful and engaging routines are backed up by beautiful and sexy performers expertly dancing to slick and expert big band salsa orchestra!

Be sure to grab seats at the front of the show to practice your salsa skills with a member of the troupe!!

A great night out with lots of fun and entertainment to be had with friends and family. Over snacks and drinks.

Great selection of drinks but the food was a little disappointing, too generic and fairly bland.

A good Night
May 2017
I wish I could title this a great night, but I could not bring myself to do it, as there were so many little annoying things that bugged me. So, here goes the good and the bad:
Good: The venue is in a great location, and the dancers are terrific. I love it when the dancers/singers interact the audience! A huge well done for that! The place was rocking at times.
Bad: It is a waste of time buying the so-called better seats. All seats have a view. I do not like the fact that some of show takes place at floor level, so only those seating in prime seats get to see then close up,
The show is a competitor of Delirio (previously reviewed), and I am unsure who copied who with all the photo ops prior to the show, but Delirio leaves these people for dead. Pictures being sold for $8000 COP each, where at Delerio, they are free. So many more extras at Delerio compared to this show.
Like Delerio, no beers are available, only bottle of hard drinks, which I just do not understand?
Last but not least, they use the cheapest seats that man invented. They cover them with a fancy cover, but it does not work.
To summarize:
The show is in a great location (Cali), and the dancers are terriific. My tickets were $170,000 COP each, which is an investment for people in Cali. Therefore, if I were going to chose one of the shows to attend, I would strongly recommend Delerio over Ensalsate.
Please note that I have no connections with either show, and I am just giving you what I believe is a true review/opinion.
