I have been going to the classes at Salsa Heat for about half a year now and I have learned a lot in that time. Even in the group classes, you get a lot of personal attention as you rotate during practice. They also pay close attention to both leads and follows so that everyone is dancing together correctly. I like that they are stricter and aren't afraid to point out what you're doing wrong. You can tell that they care about your growth as a dancer and any criticism is constructive without being condescending. I would recommend it if you are dedicated and looking to progress in your salsa/bachata

The atmosphere is awesome. The classes offered are taught by men and women who really enjoy their jobs. The studio itself is super versatile. One day you're learning how to Salsa and the next day, you're attending a beautiful wedding or celebrating someone's anniversary. The owners of these locations are truly amazing people too. I highly recommend.

The Salsa instructors are amazing in teaching the techniques for all level to learn. I went from beginners 1 to advance. Not only is it an amazing school it's also a place to meet and socialize with a great diverse group. I call them my Salsa family. Definitely recommend Salsa Heat to everyone. Best dance school ever.

Our family has LOVED Salsa Heat for the past 18years. This is not only where I learned to dance but also where I met my lovely wife. We both learned to dance and met/made many great friends. Our oldest son learned to dance here, our nieces and cousins also learned to dance and now it's time for our youngest son to learn! We are so happy and excited!! The owners, Michael and Karen are both wonderful people and truly provide an excellent service at very affordable prices. We guarantee that its worth it and you will never regret it!

This place is very getto. Very unimpressed with the quality and cleanliness of the location. I would go to Orlando if I were you. Don't waste your time. Also try Nanette ballroom dancing studio. This Kissimmee location is just not worth it.
