“I was very impressed both by the artist who led this workshop and by the gallery (OCIO) where it was hosted. The workshop started with a chance to explore the gallery, which is full of amazing prints by an array of Colombian artists.

4.Private Salsa Class and / or Latin Rhythms

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 54 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $41

Learn Colombian salsa, merengue, bachata, and vallenato in a private Bogotá class tailored to your level, with patient English-speaking instructors.

“My husband and I (60+) were attending a relative's wedding in Bogota and wanted to be able to hold our own on the dance floor, so we booked a 90 minute salsa lesson. Our instructor Laura was wonderful -- patient and did a great job helping us with the basic steps of merengue and salsa (including the special steps of Colombian salsa). It was a little tricky for us finding the studio, but Laura was responsive and helpful. There's a great big mall across the street if you want to shop and pick up an Uber from there. Highly recommend and we had a great time on the dance floor!”
