Love the atmosphere, everyone gets attention, prices are reasonable and instructors Dana and Christian are professional, fun and hilarious! They are people’s people and their teaching method is superior bar none! After class, they recommend recording them dancing together for homework and the next session is always a recap followed by the next lesson. I took Bachata level 1 but couldn’t not return for Level 2 because of my work schedule and may have to opt for private lessons. I will be back, no doubt! Sign up and energize your soul.

This place is great. Going into it I knew my white boy rhythm was terrible and figured it was going to be pretty rough. I had visions of stepping on women’s feet and just being overall embarrassing. Kind of like the pudgy kid in dodgeball that always gets picked last. On the first night I considered taking a shot of tequila. Or just bailing on the whole thing. I ended up going, and skipping the shot. I figured perhaps stepping out of my comfort zone would be good, and I could always stop going next week. So, I went to bachata class. And actually leaned the basic moves. And everyone was friendly! I even came back for more. And signed up for another class :) The environment is clean and professional, the instructors are great and everyone gets individual attention. All the other people in the class were super friendly — males, females, experienced, and newbies. The lessons are very affordable. I also found that by practicing the basic bachata moves I leaned here, I was able to seriously improve my other dance moves in the club. Hiphop, cumbia, etc. The class is great, the other students are great, and it built a good amount of confidence to actually figure some moves out. Cant recommend it enough, Id take more than one class at a time if only there were more hours in the day.

I am so honored to be the first person to review Salsa Con Rumba! Let me be the first to say that Salsa Con Rumba(heretofore called«SCR») is a high quality latin dance school in the Tri-Cities! The owners, Dana and Christian, care passionately about latin dance, teaching, running a respectable and quality school, providing a service to the community, and advancing the knowledge and skill level of their students. I am so happy I am a small part of this outstanding school. SCR offers regular classes, specialty workshops taught by D&C, specialty workshops taught by guest teachers from Yakima and Spokane, Zumba, and they host 4 dance parties a year at their studio(sanz alcohol) and they coordinate carpools to Yakima when there are special dance parties such as live bands or cool DJs, usually at The Seasons. The studio is available to rent for practice and for dance-related parties. Inside the school is a shop. The majority of the shop is dance shoes like Capezio and other brands I can’t remember. There is a very tiny amount of dance attire — think performance and competition dresses. Also, D&C used to go to Islands Casino on Saturday nights and made themselves available for questions, review and critique. Now, I believe they are starting a new shindig at Richland Red Lion with a live band and DJ alternating on Friday nights. If I am wrong about this, I will update. :-) All of the classes, workshops, and parties are priced individually; Some are part of the regular calendar, and others are offered short-term only. D&C keep it fresh and fun! The standard salsa class is LA Salsa On1(we take this class) and the newest salsa class is Beginning Cuban Salsa. We took a specialty workshop in Bachata and that was a big hit! Over 30 people packed the studio and we had a ball and worked hard. They started a new performance class and I really want to join that one! D&C fill their schedules with amazing offerings and are incredibly knowledgable. I will say that Dana tends to be more serious while Christian keeps us laughing and they both remind the guys and girls separately of what our jobs are in the dance partnership. They make a team, and I always learn from both of them. Come join us and dance with us! Learn a new style, advance a style you already know, and make new friends. :-)
