I've been dancing here every day for over a month and couldn't be happier.
first, the people:i do private lessons daily with three of the teachers, all who are accomplished competitive dancers. more importantly, they truly love the music, the dance, and teaching -- their energy is infectious and they really know how to shape a student into an all around dancer with style, technique, and attitude. they are really fun, good natured people that makes learning with them such a pleasure. second, the dancing opportunities .dancefree is unique in medellin in that there are group classes and open social dancing pretty much every night of the week. for someone like me who came here not knowing anyone it was key for me to have a place to practice and dance at night. dancefree has the vibe where you can go dance with anyone at night, not just who you came with -- this is the culture of salsa i come from and really appreciate it here. so i get to practice privately during the day and practice at night in an environment of funloving people who love the music and the dance. its pretty awesome and exactly what i was looking for coming to medellin. i also think i can say i'm a lot better and more natural after just a month of intensive dancing. - david s., april, 2016
