Cucala Dance Company - New York City Salsa Classes 47-10 32nd Place, Queens, New York 11101,

"My husband and I started taking salsa lessons at Cucala as complete beginners; now one year later taking classes is still a favorite part of our week, in no small part to the welcoming, fun-loving atmosphere created by the amazing instructors! And now we have TWO reasons to head to Cucala during the week: in addition to salsa, we've started going to Anh Tran's Alignment Yoga classes! It is a highly accessible class (no prior experience necessary) with a true emphasis on wellness; each time I've gone I've left feeling fantastic. LIC is constantly growing: if you're new to the area, check out this amazing place for a variety of ways to get moving!"

"Yesterday my and my BF came here for our first salsa lesson! The place is beautiful,well maintained and a lot of space to dance and practice. Teacher Gaby was amazing,fun and definitely knows so much about the dance!! We had an hour class that went by so fast and we got to meet such a nice group of people and teachers definitely we will come back and take more lessons!"

"High-quality instructions and low pressure, judgement-free and friendly learning environment! Out of all the salsa schools in NYC, Cucala really stands out with their ego-free (yes it exists in the NY Salsa scene lol) community driven, authentic and friendly environment. The instructors are high-level dancers who put a lot of effort and care in their art, creativity and their teachings. They’re patient, down to earth and just very chill to be around. They pay a lot to the learning process of their students. I have learned so much from taking class with them in the last 9 months. It always feels so good be there… folks are super genuine. The atmosphere is fun and chill. Come and have a good time!!"

"I just took my first class with Cucala today. Everyone was super welcoming and encouraging. I like that we each had the opportunity to dance with several of the instructors. I received personal feedback which I really appreciated and can be rare in big group classes. I also loved that there was an instructor explaining all of the follower's technique. So often I've been in classes where only the leads were actually taught directly. The instructors also ask often if there are questions and are happy to go over steps. Overall, a great experience that I recommend! Thank you Cucala!"
