Great dance lesson

Amazing experience! Isa thought us the basics with lots of fun. We had a private lesson which was great.

We had a great time and learned the basic steps of salsa at a beautiful beach. Isabel was nice and fun, she knows very well how to deal with beginners

Very fun dance class on the beach

Jonny_F, Jan 2024

We had such a great time taking Isa’s dance class! Isa is a really great teacher - she was very patient and has tonnes of energy. I was slightly nervous about taking a salsa class as I have zero experience of salsa but that melted away really quickly - we started with the basics and by the end of the hour my partner and I were dancing together. We chose the beach setting for the class, which made it very special. We are looking forward to practicing more and going dancing. A fantastic experience - take Isa’s class, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience

This was an awesome experience! We learned just enough to have fun dancing and the location cannot be prettier. You do not have to be a good dancer to start with.

Amanda_Z, Mar 2023

As a beginner I was quite nervous to take a dance class, but Isa made me feel super confident and comfortable straight away! Cannot recommend her enough!

Excellent Instructor!!! Patient, Kind and Knowledgeable

Melody_S, Apr 2022

Isabel was the best. She knows her craft!!! I really enjoyed my lesson. She is encouraging and has tons of positivity!!! I would definitely recommend that this is a go-to in Costa Rica. Excellent spot we went to, to practice. She had me feeling like a trained professional. This is something that I will never forget. This is one of the highlights of my trip, besides seeing Costa Rica in all its beauty. Go to the lesson... you will not be disappointed.

I had SO MUCH FUN with Melody! 🔥 Thank you for booking with me! It was the highlight of my day to teach you, because it was so beautiful to watch you gain confidence and find your flow! We had some amazing belly laughs! I loved the energy and I am so grateful! Thank you! Come back again!! ❤️

Dream dance class

Sierra_K, Mar 2022

What an amazing dance class! Hannah was so accommodating with our hectic travel plans and was very welcoming. We got to do a lesson on the beach which felt very private and made the class so much more memorable to be swaying to the music and the sound of the ocean waves. Wish I could spend every day dancing on the beach! I would definitely recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you so much!! I had such a fun time with you all and was so happy we could find a more secluded place on the beach that could work for everyone!! I adore teaching dance and when we have so many incredible locations to choose from it makes it a lot easier! Thank you for sharing how your experience went and I hope one day you can come back and indulge even more in the magic of dancing on the beach!

Fantastic lesson!

Jason_F, Mar 2022

Bella is an amazing teacher. We were successfully dancing bachata by the end of the hour. We enjoyed our lesson on the beach! If you are in Puerto Viejo, we recommend this.

Response from Host, Mar 2022
