Majesty in Motion provides quality instruction, a fun variety of classes, and is located centrally in San Diego. David and Jennifer are friendly, easy to talk to, and always make sure to make themselves accessible to students!

Great studio to learn how to dance salsa, bachata, cha cha cha. Instructors are fun and engaging. Classes are available every day with lots of options to choose from. They also organize lots of fun social dancing events around San Diego where you can practice the moves you learnt in class and see people you have already danced with in the studio.

Being a beginner in any hobby can be intimidating and having two left feet definitely can add to that stress. After finding Majesty in Motion, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a 4 pack to see if I would enjoy it, and I am so grateful I did! They are extremely welcoming to everyone, fun/relatively easy to follow, and provided a comfortable environment for us to dance in. Everyone is so kind and allowed someone such as myself, who is nervous and stiff as a board, to be comfortable in my shoes. I look forward to taking more classes! Thank you!
