Salsa Classes FAQ
Q: Why learn Salsa dancing?
A: Most people who come to learn our style of Salsa learn to really enjoy dancing. And they have a good time when they social dance, even when they travel around the world.
Q: What makes your studio special?
A: We are well known as one of the best places to learn how to Salsa in Kuala Lumpur because of our emphasis on teaching good fundamentals in a fun atmosphere. As one student put it to us, "it all started at Havana Estudio". And we hope to help you make more wonderful memories here...
Q: I have absolutely no experience in dancing! But I am very keen...
A: Most people who take our Salsa "Beginner 1" or Level 1 class never danced before. So don't worry most people are just like you.
Q: How much are classes?
A: RM200 cash will take care of you for 8 consecutive weeks, 1 class a week, 1 hour a class. No other fees, that's it.
Q: When can I start?
A: All students start from the 1st class of an intake, and we have new intakes every month.
Q: Please tell me more about classes...
A: We go very slowly at first, and break it down for you. And we do a lot of repetition. A lot of students make friends in class, stay back after class to practice... it's really fun!

A: Drop by our studio and check us out. If you like what you see, then by all means complete your registration form with your class fees, and this will confirm a place for you in our next intake!
