Went to two of their beginner salsa lessons at The Dance Complex in Cambridge. On the plus side, I thought the instruction was pretty decent for a beginner lesson. On the minus side, about twice as many people who wanted to dance lead (largely guys) than follow. Paying $17 for a lesson where you are dancing without a partner half the time didnt appeal to me (a guy) so while I normally learn to dance lead in a new rhythm I decided to dance follow for my second lesson Turns out they have some homophobic twits in their class. Ironically for someone on the receiving end of that, Im not gay (not that it should matter). Im just not hung up on the gender of people i learn dance steps with. I told the instructor about my negative experience while signing out and paying. Think that telling me not to pay would be the least one might expect, but, well, apparently not. Id guess my review would be quite a bit more positive if the lead/follow balance had been better and I had been leading. Certainly Id discourage people from dancing in their lessons if not doing gender normed lead/follow dance roles. Or if the lead/follow balance isnt decent. Wont be back.

I have had an amazing experience working with Johnny. We have taken bachata, salsa, and first dance lessons with him over the last several years. Extremely friendly and an excellent dancer. Id recommend him highly.

I did 2 sessions with Andres in Allston last year and it was great...I purchased a punch card to Drop-in but haven’t had the discipline to return. Been attending lessons/social/performances with Andres & his brother & Artem at Havana and Tavern in the Square and I ADORE IT!! Planning on returning to Allston studio to fine-tune technique.
