Melomano studio is full of professional dancing teachers of various styles of dancing. It’s not only about making you ready for socials per se but is highly oriented towards making students looking good on the floor, stylish and confident when performing.
The teachers are truly supportive. The studio space is very clean, fresh, with large open doors, the sound and lighting is nicely professionally set… It’s a great place to make new friends and dance partners. Probably the best studio in SD. Well balanced schedule is packed of workshops and social events. A dream…))

I've been dancing for nearly 15 years and have explored classes and companies across San Diego. Melomano is one of the most friendly, professional and well-organized groups that I've ever joined. The team is very warm and welcoming; instructors are engaging and knowledgeable; there are an incredible amount of social dance events (I particularly enjoy the beginner-friendly socials); and the way they structure their progressive cycles makes it easy to consistently grow your skills. I would highly recommend Melomano for anyone who would like to learn or improve upon their salsa and bachata dancing, make new friends or try something new! 🙂
Wow!!!!!! Diana and Patrick were incredible for us to work with!!!! My husband and I were taking classes for our first dance at our wedding. Diana and Patrick are both so talented and have a wonderful energy! We enjoyed our classes to the max. The professionalism was great, all around I would rate them 1 million stars!!! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and dancing with them! They are awesome. The memories of working with them bring us a lot of joy! - Isa and Abhishek
LOVE LOVE LOVE Melomano! I have been attending classes almost 2 years, and under their amazing creativity and guidance, I have grown so much in my dance journey. I love the challenge and growth offered in such a great variety of classes. Patrick and Diana have been patient and available when I needed help. Always ready to answer questions. I am impressed that they really want students to learn it right so they can enjoy dancing so much more.
The camaraderie among my classmates is awesome. Everyone is so welcome here! And the studio socials are BOMB! Obv, I would highly recommend Melomano and their fantastic team of instructors to any level dancer!

I can’t express how grateful I am to have found this dance family. I started last year in February 2024 just as a possible skill to learn for the new year and didn’t realize how positively impactful learning and experiencing dancing is. From the different levels, instructors, and the community that Melomano has established, they truly have something amazing worth sharing! Thank you Diana, Patrick, Kevin, Ana, AC, Becky, Val, Ibeth, Kat, Joseline, and the dream team for keeping this amazing dance studio running and helping me find a new skill and passion that I can share anywhere in the world!
Coming to melómano was the best thing I could’ve done for my dance journey. As someone who comes from a dance background, it’s sadly commonplace to experience that weird hierarchical atmosphere or competitiveness in a studio. Melómano is seriously such a breath of fresh air compared to that! From my first day people were striking up conversation with me and everyone was so genuinely kind and supportive. The teachers are passionate and they really do care about all their students. The studio space is also one of the largest in SD which makes it so nice to dance in. Honestly the list goes on. My dancing has already improved so much. I love having the different levels so that you can focus on technique and avoid staying stagnant in your dancing. I always recommend this studio now to all my dancer and nondancer friends and everyone has loved it. I’m so grateful to finally be in such a safe, joyful, welcoming dance community! Thank you Melomano
My partner and I really enjoy our private lessons with Diana at Melonano. She is knowledgeable and passionate, making each session fun and just right for us. Diana explains difficult ideas clearly, which helps us feel more confident and motivated. We highly recommend her lessons to anyone who wants to improve their dance skills. 💃🏻🕺🏿🥳
Melomano is way more than a dance studio, it is an experience with the senses, my Happy Place besides nature, where I learn to dance but also connect with amazing people with incredible positive vibes 🤩🤩🤩 From the beginning the instructors, as well as the students, made me feel welcomed. They are very encouraging and motaving to keep progressing along. This place feels like a wonderful family!!
The social events and performances from beginners'level to the advanced ones are frequent and the fun is non-stop! I highly recommend joining us.

I have been going to this dance studio for several months. And I love the instruction from Patrick and Diana and Anna Christina and the other teachers. I have never experienced a dance company with so much kindness and care of their students. It starts from the top with Patrick in Diana. Who are so much in love.And they just spread love throughout all the people of the dance family of the group. Because of that, it's a great learning environment with great technical teaching. I love training at this dance studio!

This dance studio has the best kindest professional latin dance instruction in San Diego county.
I've been training for about a year now and performed on the ladies stying, bachata team on Saturday for the 11th anniversary debute.
Somehow, I left my phone there with money in it and a credit card. By monday early afternoon, my husband picked up my phone with everything still with it. Where do you see honest people like this? That you don't have to worry If you lose something, they will give it back to you?
I love this family dance company and you should check it out if you want to get some professional training in latin dance.

Turns out I love this place. Patrick, Diana, and Kevin have all been wonderful and vested in the success of anyone who wants to learn Salsa and Bachata. Every week I look forward to my lessons-at my age they challenge me physically and mentally, and have taught me to never give up! If you, like me, ever envied Salsa or Bachata dancers who seemed to have all the moves, and were having the time of their lives in the club, join Melomano! The dream of becoming a great dancer is no dream at all-Melomano has made it possible, and I'm humbly loving the journey. Every time I take a lesson, the music, movement, personal connection, and top instructors combine into a physical and sensory experience that takes me to a place I absolutely love.
Melomano is more than a dance studio—it’s a community, a family, and a safe haven. The instructors are incredible, but it’s also the people who make this place so special. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and supportive. It’s a space where you feel safe to be yourself, to express, and to grow. I came in as a total beginner with no dance background, and I’ve always felt embraced and encouraged here—it’s truly a safe space for everyone, no matter their experience. This studio came into my life at a time when I needed it most, and I know I’m not alone in that. Some might come here feeling lost or broken, searching for themselves through dance, and they walk out having found not only a deeper connection to who they are but also a whole community. Through dance and community, Melómano feeds the body and the soul, and I’m forever grateful for this place.
For me, dancing is fundamentally about two things: 1) constant growth, and 2) joy. The improvement one can pursue in dance is endless, and the smiles and happiness of people sharing a great dance are irreplaceable.
Melomano, with its most infectious directors and teachers, has created a space and community where you can get as much as you desire of both – growth, and joy. Seriously, I am at the studio at least 5 days a week, learning something new in every class, and I have yet to catch any of the instructors on a "bad day" when they don't radiate their joyous passion for dance or come up with a new way to explain the same thing I've been drilling for a while. Thank you Patrick and Diana, and all Melomano instructrs, for creating and maintiaining this environment, and every dancer on Melomano social dance floor for sharing those joyous moments song after song!
