Group Classes
At Melómano, our class-level system ensures safety and effective learning by grouping students according to their skill level. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, our group classes offer a supportive environment where you can improve your technique, master new moves, and enjoy dancing with others. Each Salsa and Bachata group class, led by experienced instructors, focuses on both footwork and partner work, with all students rotating partners, so bringing a partner is optional.
Purchase class credits and reserve on the class schedule. Classes are 50 minutes. Cancel at least 6 hours before class to keep your credit; arrivals over 15 minutes late may lose their spot.

What Our Students Say
Students come for clearer dancing and keep returning for the people in the room.
I started taking salsa and bachata classes at Melómano a few months ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very first class, I was welcomed into a community that feels like a second family. The atmosphere in the studio is amazing, the Melómano Instructors Patrick, Diana, Kevin, Analisa, Val, Anacristina, and Rebecca have this incredible ability to make everyone feel at ease, whether you’re stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or you’re a seasoned dancer looking to refine your moves. The classes are structured perfectly, balancing technique with fun. My progress has been great and I look forward to every class!
Kevin
Joining Melómano for salsa and bachata classes has been incredible. I’ve always admired Latin dance from afar, but stepping into Patrick’s class was like entering a whole new world. Patrick is my favorite teacher! He breaks down complex moves into manageable parts, making it easy to follow along. But what truly sets him apart is his ability to see where you need improvement and offer personalized advice. From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped by a warm, supportive environment. The check in staff at Melómano has this unique gift of making everyone feel like they belong. The community at Melómano is what keeps me coming back. We’re all there to learn, to grow, and to have fun.
