Falling in Love with Cuban Salsa at STG

How Cuban Salsa Wins Hearts at STG

It doesn’t always happen in the first class. Sometimes it’s a slow build, a feeling that sneaks in while you’re learning to step and turn. Other times, it’s instant: one song, one shared laugh, and something just clicks.

That’s how falling in love with Cuban salsa begins for many people at Salsa te Gusta.

Some are first drawn in by the music, warm, layered, and impossible to ignore. Others fall for the way the movement feels: circular, light, connected. But most of all, it’s the atmosphere. The people. That quiet joy of being in a room where everyone is welcome, no matter how many steps they’ve taken before.

“I thought I was just going to try one class. Now I can’t imagine my week without it.”
— Samira, Level 2 student

💃 It’s Not About Perfection

Cuban salsa, casino, isn’t about performing. It’s about listening, connecting, playing. At STG, we teach it the way it’s meant to be felt: grounded in music and culture, with space to learn through joy.

Everyone starts with the basics, how to move with the music, how to lead or follow, how to trust the flow. There are stumbles and resets, but also laughter. Progress doesn’t always show up in a perfect turn, sometimes it shows up in the way someone starts to relax into their own movement.

đŸŒ± A Space That Helps You Grow

At STG, growth is shared and celebrated. There’s no pressure to “get it right” fast, just encouragement to keep going. The classes are clear and structured, but always open-hearted. Teachers guide with warmth. Classmates cheer each other on. It’s not unusual to see someone burst into laughter after messing up, and still keep dancing.

It’s a space where showing up is more important than showing off.

đŸŽ¶ One Day, You Just Notice

Your posture feels stronger. Your confidence shows up outside of class. You hum salsa songs on your way to work. And suddenly, what started as a “just trying something new” has become part of your week you genuinely look forward to.

“Salsa at STG didn’t just teach me to dance. It gave me a whole new part of myself.”
— David, Level 3 student
