Salsa Boot Camps - Learn to salsa in just 3 hours! Great 1/2 Day family activity while in Jacó Daily: by appointment
Only at SalsaStar:
A unique, unforgettable cultural experience for tourists and
short-term visitors in Jacó, Costa Rica. We are the only studio in Costa Rica that teaches the international-style salsa that you can dance in over 40 countries, as seen on the ESPN World Salsa Championships. We will, of course, also teach you the regional variety of salsa if you wish. We easily tailor each boot camp to the needs of the participants.
Location: Because our studio is just one block from the beach in the center of town, we are centrally located to most hotels and tour agencies. If walking to the studio is inconvenient, a taxi ride to our studio costs about one dollar from most parts of Jacó. Cost: At only $50 per participant (2 or more people), or $59 per participant (1 person only, alone, private boot camp) our 1/2 day camps are priced slightly lower than any 1/2 day tourist activity in Jacó (based on price per hours of activity offered), making them a very competitive choice for a 1/2 day "tour." (Planning Note: In the USA, Europe, and Canada, a single hour private salsa lesson can cost you $85-$100 - for a single hour! We offer you a much more economical way to learn salsa!). Dance Partners: You do NOT need a dance partner in order to attend activities at SalsaStar. However, when possible, we can arrange for local singles (male or female) to come in and be dance partners (they dance with you during the class) for special groups such as all-girls groups, or all-guy groups. In the case we have available volunteer dance partners, the dance partner is free to you. This is the usual case. Occassionally, there may be an additional cost of $10-$30/dance partner for the three hour activity, depending on who is available to come in and take the camp. This cost covers the partner's transportation, beverages, and compensation for time in case they have to take off work to come in. In the case of private boot camps or lessons, you will dance with your instructor (you don't need a partner), unless you really prefer we bring you a dance partner, in which case we will quote you the cost based on who is available. We have a list of Costa Rican, Colombian, Nicaraguan, American, etc. men and women who are available as dance partners for a class. Uniqueness: We are the only studio in Costa Rica that offers dual comforts: air-conditioning and a cushiony sprung dance floor. You will be taught by elite-level professional salsa dancers, Andrés and Wendy, who will take turns teaching your group. Other studios in Costa Rica, on the contrary, train local club dancers to teach their classes, and they only know limited steps of the regional styles - most of which are NOT recognized outside of Costa Rica. We teach you the international style you will need to dance most anywhere else in the world! What Next? Once you have completed a boot camp, or if you already have dance experience, you are encouraged to drop-in at night for our locals' group classes and dance socials during your stay so that you can practice your skills and socialize with the local community. For those who wish to learn more and save money, we suggest taking more boot camps or a series of private lessons with us while you are in town, as they will cost you up to 80% less than in the USA, Canada, or Europe for the same learning from instructors of the same level. When you return to your home country, we encourage you to continue your Latin dance studies at a local dance studio.
