Forget the price. No other learning avenue is this cost-effective.

Testimonial: I worked through the unit on body movement (yes, there's an entire unit that guides you through building it up, piece-by-piece.) and practiced my basic a ton like they suggest. Aside from that, I've only made it through the “Absolute Beginner” unit of partner work. I have no partner to train with. Social dances are my partnered practice. At the “Latin Night” last night, one of the best follows in the room enjoyed our dance so much she gave me a huge hug afterward. [Results may vary.]
Review: The Dance Dojo's Salsa program (combined with going to social dances) is far and away the most economical way to build up your skill at dancing salsa. The only more effective method would be private lessons that probably cost the price of the entire program in just a couple months. Sure, there are all kinds of videos on YouTube that show moves, but Dance Dojo has far more, and the depth of technique taught is almost always superior. But the program is so much more than a bunch of moves. Even those are helpfully arranged progressively. Beyond moves, the program is amazingly holistic, with everything from units on musicality, shines, tips for social dancing, and even a general unit on setting and pursuing goals. If you want to be a better salsa dancer, this program needs to be your cornerstone.

Very Good Dance program

Hello ,

I really enjoy this program. It is the first program I have tried. I have learned a lot and am continuing to learn. The videos are very straight forward, to the point, and easy to understand. I have invested every day learning from Dance Dojo and I am seeing improvement overtime and I am very optimistic about the future of how my skillset will be in the upcoming years. I am proud to same that I am a complete beginner at Salsa and almost ready to learn intermediate level of bachata and salsa. I recommend this to everyone wanting to learn. You can learn on your own time from anywhere.

Great Fun!

Patrick and Scarlett deliver a program that's challenging, but easy to follow with their in depth lessons that can be watched over and over again until someone like me can get it right. These are all moves, styles, suggestions that can be taken to the local salsa dance party and have a great time with. The online format means we can learn at our own pace and review as much as we need to get comfortable with the moves. It's great to watch pros like Patrick and Scarlett have such fun and make it look so great and effortless. After a month on the program, we're looking forward to moving from the basics into the more advanced moves. We've spent only a little time with Bachata so far, but it looks very promising!

Salsa Program with Patrick & Scarlet

It's fantastic: clear instructions. A must have to PAIR with classes @ the DVStudio. You can then get instructons from Patrick & Scarlet in your living room at any hour! They're such wonderful dancers and super super patient instructors.

Fantastic value and excellent instruction

This course is amazing! My husband, who all his 60-year life thought he did't have rhythm and couldn't dance, is finally able to understand it and is enjoying learning to salsa! Robin's instruction on finding the beat and the one in music is so so helpful. Patrick's explanations and demonstrations of salsa steps and moves is super clear and manageable. We are thrilled that we signed up for this course! Just finished the absolute beginner section and am looking forward to the more advanced beginner part. Thank you, Robin, Patrick and Scarlet!!!

HAVE QUESTIONS?

We’ve Got Answers

Any salsa dancer who wants to social dance with confidence, make their partners smile and have fun dancing with partners of every level. The program focuses on linear salsa On1 and On2.

1) An online program is the best way to learn faster, because it’s at your pace.
2) You can’t get this amount of material or level of detail in a studio class.
3) Most people don’t have access to quality instructors.

Patrick and Scarlet have won national and world titles. They’re in the top 1% of salsa dancers in the world. They’ve also been in your shoes, learned how to become great dancers and have created a proven system to get their students the same results.

You don’t have to listen to them, but if you do, you’ll change your dancing forever.

You’ll learn everything you need to become a relaxed, confident and fun social dancer. You’ll use the same curriculum Patrick and Scarlet use on their students in Vancouver, Canada who have become confident social dancers as well as national and world champions.

No, it’s only $299. Learning all the material in this program in-person at Patrick & Scarlet’s studio would cost at least $4,000.

It depends how much you practice. If you follow the lessons, expect to feel progress in as little as 30 days, and you can likely change your life in 6-12 months.

If you do absolutely nothing, you won’t see any results.

We have a student Facebook group where you can ask questions, get feedback and stay motivated with other passionate dancers from around the world.

Online lessons are a perfect compliment to in-person classes. You’ll often miss details in class, so having a library of material you can watch, and rewatch, any time helps you improve faster.

“I was skeptical about how much I could learn from an online course, but Dance Dojo exceeded my expectations. I love the structured and systematic approach. A perfect accompaniment to in-person classes.”

Yes, there is lots you can learn without a partner: body movement, shines, musicality, timing, and more. Many of our students also watch the partner work lessons alone to brush up on technique before going out.

That said, if you want to improve at partner work, it helps to have a partner to practice with.

100% of the material is practical for social dancing.

The lessons are short so you can learn something in just 10-20 minutes.

Online lessons are a perfect compliment to in-person classes. You’ll often miss details in class, so having a library of material you can rewatch any time you want will help you improve faster.
