Havana Salsa Opiniones 

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Havana Salsa.

Before the class, I was open and honest that I am autistic and have ADHD, and that I am not comfortable being touched by people I don't know. I explained that I only feel comfortable dancing with my partner. Instead of making any effort to discuss reasonable adjustments or accessibility, I was effectively told that if I wasn't willing to dance with other people, then I couldn't participate.

That left me feeling excluded and discriminated against. I should not have to choose between forcing myself into situations that cause significant distress or giving up on an activity I wanted to enjoy.

What made this especially upsetting is that I felt pressured into either disclosing deeply personal trauma to justify my boundaries or simply accepting that I wasn't welcome. Nobody should ever feel they have to relive painful experiences just to access a leisure activity.

Accessibility isn't just about wheelchair ramps—it's also about recognising and accommodating neurodivergent people and respecting personal boundaries. Instead, I was made to feel that my disability and my need for bodily autonomy were inconveniences rather than something worthy of understanding.

The only alternative offered was essentially to pay for private lessons, which is not an accessible solution for everyone. Inclusion should not depend on whether someone can afford to pay more.

I left feeling hurt, excluded, and deeply disappointed. From my experience, Havana Salsa showed a serious lack of understanding of neurodiversity, consent, and accessibility. I cannot recommend them to anyone who expects their boundaries and disabilities to be treated with respect.

I really enjoy the classes and feel like I've made progress since starting at beginner level at the beginning of the year. The teachers are all really patient and break down every step. The lessons and nights out are a lot of fun! Danni at Whetstone is a great teacher 🙂

Danni is an amazing teacher, it is fun and she is very patient

Havana Salsa offer an authentic Cuban experience and have fantastic dance teachers

From the first day I have been feeling welcomed at each of the class. Rodolfo, Laura and Danni are amazing teachers and have supported everyone on our way of learning salsa. Each time I feel there like at a small holiday because I love dancing salsa and I have been greatly supported by the teachers. Can't wait to start the next level. 🤩🤩🤩

Been attending enjoyable classes for some months as a couple and making good progress. Also great for singles and all ages. Classes well structured and sequenced, everyone very friendly with excellent teachers.

Great enthusiastic teachers at Northampton, I've been going for about 12 months, they are very knowledgeable and break down moves to learnable chunks, they are patient and listen to their students, lessons are fun I always feel I've learnt something new and you can practice at the social events

The team at Derby are welcoming and the lessons are fun, it's a great hobby for your physical and mental wellbeing

Learnt to dance with these guys and now flying .. love to dance at many salsa socials.
Patient teachers and structured lessons
Highly recommend and will see you on the dance floor

Havana salsa in derby at Fat cats, great classes and great instructors also a lot of fun, good for mental health and physical well being.

I’m nearer 70 than 60 and decided to join a couple of dance classes this year. Dancing is good for remembering patterns and sequences. It also helps with balance and mobility. The Whetstone, Leicester class is super friendly, and we rotate dance partners, which is useful for me as a solo dancer. There are three dance levels, and the level 3 men often help partner the beginners. The dance teachers, Maddy, Danni and their assistants are thorough in teaching Salsa, and very approachable. It’s great fun.

Loved every minute of it. We are only at level 1 at the minute but will certainly be going back to do the next levels. The teachers are amazing, and walk you through the steps very well. Everyone is very friendly and inviting. We look forward to our class every week. Place your nerves to one side and get booked in.

A great experience and friendly and fun teachers to learn from. I learn at Whetsone and they are fantasic, always welcoming. They make it feel easy to earn and I love the music
I am looking forward to my second social party to attend as they are great fun!

Havana Salsa classes are a great way for adults to learn to dance and meet and make new friends. Lessons are structured from level 1 beginner to level 3 advanced, over 7 week blocks. Teachers are enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming.

I originally started salsa just to learn enough skills to be able to take to the dance floor at a social event. I haven’t looked back, it’s part of my week to be active and a fun evening.

Havana Salsa is a great way to learn in a structured way and keep improving.

I would highly recommend these classes and Mady and Danielle are wonderful. This was my first time doing anything like this, but I've always wanted to learn so I took the plunge and booked the first class to just try it. I was so nervous... but I shouldn't have been. Everyone is so friendly, so welcoming and it's such a fun atmosphere. It's a great way to simply do something social and fun and learn at the same time. The teachers are amazing and I have enjoyed it so much I signed up for the rest of the classes. If you're thinking about going, do it. You won't regret it 💜

I had a disappointing experience with the 4th class voucher. Despite attending only two classes, I was denied access without any clear explanation of the terms. The trainers couldn't show me the conditions and failed to communicate important details upfront. This caused confusion and disrupted my plans, and I received no apology. Poor customer service and lack of transparency overall.

We planned to pay for the classes when we were done with the coupon and also go to parties. It is a shame that instead of making it fun and correct, they have such poor customer service.

Booked 4 places for beginners salsa. Before we got to the first class, we found info - not in the description of the class - that attendees would have to frequently swap partners with others in the class. This just wasn’t something 2 of us could do, and I would never have booked if I’d realised. Have emailed 3 times now over two weeks, explaining and asking for a refund, but no response. No one ever answers the phone number on the website. Really shameful way to operate.

Great structure and teaching of classes. The teachers are very professional and actually get you dancing, and in such a great environment.

Salsalicious! All the teachers make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. The other members are always on hand to help and practice. Very Friendly atmosphere so don’t be afraid to turn up and start learning on your own. There’s more solo dancers than couples. No better way to burn calories and wiggle the hips… well.. almost 😉!!
