Dance Dojo Reviews
If you have questions about our courses, contact us here.
I recently joined the free online trial salsa course, and I was thoroughly impressed! The course was well-structured, making it easy to follow along. The teachers provided clear explanations, ensuring that each step was easy to understand. Additionally, the content was comprehensive, covering all aspects of the dance style. I can recommend this course to anyone looking to learn or improve their salsa dancing skills!
Dance dojo is so helpful! Robin even convinced me that practicing by myself is worthwhile. And Scarlet is also an excellent instructor. She shows us followers exactly what to do. Her poise inspires me! I am determined to to learn salsa and these two are a wonderful complement to the classes I am taking.
Imagine holding the golden key to deep, meaningful salsa practice, packed with delightful details that put you in the driver's seat for an exciting journey into the world of Salsa and beyond. Feel blessed as Robin dances forward, guiding me and others into this truly worthwhile experience. "Salsa" means "sauce" or "spicy" in Spanish, capturing the dance's lively, sensual, and energetic spirit. It's a joyful social dance that fosters connection and community, celebrated worldwide for its mix of challenging steps, creative expression, and irresistible rhythms that keep everyone moving.

Helping me through the structure of Salsa and helping me to progress so much faster in class!
I knew nothing about dance going into this. I had tried dancing with a friend and just couldn’t even get the basics down, but I wanted to learn. So I found DanceDojo and gave it a shot. So far it’s actually been amazing for helping me understand, giving me an actual place to start, to be able to define steps and moves, to learn how to listen for and count the beats in music, the way they teach works very well, the structure of the program is great
I have been learning and enjoying the "Multiply your Moves" series because it takes the salsa dancing concepts, breaks them down into digestible chunks, and helps me incorporate fun new twists in my dancing.
I am impressed with quality of material. I am on my salsa journey and I am not in hurry. I like the progression part of the lessons. I started with a something fundamental like finding the beat in Salsa music. That information is worth the cost of the program.
Love the videos, no chat just straight into the moves. Easy to watch and follow.
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.
On Salsa primarily and it has been one of the best investments in my dancing and self ever. Patrick and Scarlet are my heroes, and they are top top notch!
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
Very informative, I feel like I went back to school lol.
I recently joined the program. I can practice dancing every day at home even alone. There are lessons a lot that I want to learn. It's excellent that they teach me how to dance well (and elegance to me)! Thanks to Robin, Patric and Scarlet, their videos always show many tips and make me feel confident, so I can enjoy dancing with a partner! XD
I am amazed by how I am building everything into my dancing from the ground up. I notice how much more I can do at group classes, and how natural it feels to learn new things. Completely recommended!!
The team does an amazing job of breaking down the technical and "soft skills" of dance. Great platform for both new and experienced dancers to improve their skills and experience in the Latin dance scene.
A lot of my happy to get , help me to progess of my dancing. Love this bundle.
Despite years of dancing experience, it is nice to receive good and detailed explanations. Thanks!
I researched lots of websites and videos and stuff, and found this approach the most interesting in terms of pedagogy, it suits someone like me who is probably not naturally the most creative, but more analytical and logical, and I find a lot of structure and logic in each lesson which helped me already improve. I specifically like the structure of each lesson, step by step, upper body and foot work, plus partner work as well as the tips. Also the other sessions just talking about the etiquette, the way you handle yourself and others, it's a great way to learn also the culture of Salsa dancing not only how to dance it! Highly recommended :-)
Hey Robin. My experience with the course so far has been quite informative and helpful. I've been doing salsa for a year and a bit now, and learning stuff from even from the beginners lessons I didn't know that has helped my timing, leading and move sets in my dance. The only negative feedback I've been told by my dance practice partners is Scarlett wears to much black and it makes it hard to follower her movement, but she very stylish in what she wears. hahaha.
The course if very valuable. I've only gone through a little bit of it but it definitely helps. I'd be more frustrated in my in-person classes without it for sure. I'd love to see even more on breaking down salsa music, the instruments and the beats you can dance on in both shines and partner work. For example, trying to hear the clave and dance on that or following the bongos. The biggest challenge I have is hearing the instruments correctly. I can dance on beat mostly but it feels like luck, and mostly just hitting the 1 and 5 and filling in the rest with timing rather than truly hearing and feeling the 2 and 6. I'd love to be more fluent in that language. And will get there with a lot of salsa listening! Thank you!
