This place checks all the boxes! Knowledgeable and fun instructors offering a variety of Salsa and Bachata classes for all levels, from beginners to advanced to performing teams. A beautiful brand new facility with great AC and plenty of space to keep everyone cool while dancing. Oscar and Thala are always going the extra mile to provide their students with quality instruction in a fun and positive atmosphere where we learn while also make friends. Definitely check them out if you're looking to begin or improve your dancing!

I love Salrica! Since I began taking classes at the beginning of this year I've learned so much and I can definitely see the improvement in my dancing. I recommend this dance studio to any dance enthusiasts regardless of their skill level. Oscar and Thalia are so talented and patient with their students.

When I think learning how to dance Salsa/Mambo, Salrica Dance Company is the first dance school that comes to mind. I highly recommend contacting them or dropping by one of their classes. The staff is knowledgeable and will get you on the dance floor in no time.

This studio is OK but they are way overpriced. They just increased their prices to $85 for 5 classes. ($17/class!!). This is a ripoff and definitely not worth it. There are many studios just as good or better with lower prices. I know studios that charge $50/mo. for 8 classes. In addition, all these studios host socials.
