I'm new to dancing and despite having limited experience from other schools, I knew I've made the right choice when I joined DSA. Both Abel and Alina are very friendly, professional and focused on details. They follow a very methodical approach in their teaching and break down the most complicated moves into easy to follow steps, making the process fun and engaging throughout. They provide quality feedback and a structure which helps you build and improve your social dancing skills. Apart from excellent teachers they are super kind and have great sense of humour! Join the team and you will not be disappointed 😉

F. M.

Abel & Alina are super professional in their teaching but also just super nice people! I remember in the beginning I was unsure about joining, because I’ve never danced before. But the classes are really well structured. You also meet a lot of really friendly people :)

M. S.

I've never been in such an amazing school!Great teachers, great atmosphere, smile, fun, energy... You'll be looking forward to the next lessons. Nobody judges anyone here. It doesn't matter who you are, how old are you or what are u wearing right now. Just come and have fun!

A. S.

Alina and Abel are great teachers! They take time to explain the fundamentals before getting into more complicated moves. I'm really enjoying the classes so far, learning and having fun. They organize regular socials to practice your skills and meet people. Great dance school, great community, highly recommend.

P. C.

Amazing atmosphere during classes is a norm! Both Alina and Abel love what they do, they put harts into their job! They care about students and , they will make you work and improve your skills once you are willing to learn. They care about the details that are crucial for proper and effective dancing. Putting an effort to know the students allows them to adjust the way of explaining moves and steps for student benefits. If it's a struggle they explain each step on many ways so it's clear for everyone. I've been dancing for a while and reached the time that I got stuck, couldn't improve anymore, didn't enjoy the classes. Alina and Abel keep improving my dancing, correcting my bad habits and what's most important made me fall in love with dancing again! You are beginner or want to get back to dancing or refresh your skills I would highly recommend Alina and Abel!

I have been taking private bachata lessons at Dublin Salsa Academy for ten weeks. I was very apprehensive at the start, but that quickly passed after meeting Alina and Abel. They are wonderful people and outstanding teachers. From the first lesson, I have been encouraged, challenged and supported. I’m learning something I enjoy, in a fun environment, being taught by brilliant teachers. I’m fortunate to have met Alina and Abel. Thank you both very much.

R. L.

I would highly recommend DSA. All the staff are dedicated, friendly and always supportive of your improvement. To me they show a great combination of technique, support, care and patience towards their students. I Improved a lot since i joined DSA. Alina and Abel have created friendly and relaxed atmosphere for learning and also have fun. It is always a pleasure to attend all their different venues and always being warmly welcome. 😁

C. A.

Amazing atmosphere during the classes and the social dancing after. Alina and Abel always have good attitude and listen the students feedback to continue improving. Have classes for all levels, from beginners to advance dancers. Definitely, I recommend DSA

L. B.

Have taken private Cuban Salsa dance Lessons with Alina & Abel @ DSA. They are fantastic teachers, who willingly share their vast knowledge of dance in great detail while showing fantastic patience with their students. I was hesitant at first, but with their help, friendly support and total professionalism, this has turned out to be a most positive and life changing experience for me. I would totally recommend Alina & Abel @ DSA to anyone who has the inkling to learn dance.

F. J.

If you want to learn Salsa and Bachata from teachers who really know not only the dances but also how to teach them really well, whilst having a lot of fun along the way, then look no further. They're great at helping you to overcome problem areas, delevop your understanding of musicality and to feel the energy of the dances. I've really enjoyed learning cuban salsa with with Alina and Abel, I love their enthusiasm and style and I look forward to keep learning with them in the future. With their patience and encouragement, and with continued practice, I can feel my skill and confidence growing.

K. B.

Alina & Abel are simply put, the best teachers around by far and are genuinely two of the nicest and most welcoming people you could meet, this along with the rest of lovely DSA teaching staff - make for such a wonderful dancing community in the heart of dublin with there brilliant classes and fantastic socials after. Would recommend anyone - to definitely go to Dublin Salsa Academy class's if you get the chance.

J.

They are great! the classes are dynamic and fun but they are also super professional. they are patient, super welcoming and insist on details so that we can have a good learning experience. I got bachata classes with Alina and Abel and I really love! The environment is wonderful! Too much love for these guys!

M. P.

Dublin Salsa Academy is the best dance school in Dublin. I had a great experience!! The teachers are very well prepared and the classes are easy to understand and get the flow of dancing. I highly recommend this school for people who wants to dance in all levels.

J. V.

DSA is a wonderful community with even more wonderful teachers! I enjoyed the classes so much that I signed up for bachata and Cuban salsa... I would highly recommend DSA :)

S. O.

Alina and Abel’s structure is solid. They know what they are doing and all of their teachers are highly professional but also super fun!

G. V.

If you are looking to add some sexy moves to your dance arsenal, steer no other way but towards DSA. The exhilarating experience will certainly give you a positive addiction and a new hobby. Also, the friendly teachers not only guide you on your journey of happy feet. But also, they make exceptional efforts to make you feel welcome and included right off the bat. Thank you Alina and Abel, the double 'A' batteries to my happy feet.

A. R. A.

Very recommended! Alina & Abel are the best dance teachers I've ever had. I learnt a lot in very little time and their classes are super fun!

A. M. P.

My partner and I started with Cuban Salsa from the very beginning and we couldn't have made a better choice! Abel and Alina are professional dancers, who really know how to teach and keep your motivation up. Looking forward to taking up the lessons after the lockdown :)

L. B.

Great teachers who take their time to teach you step by step the basics of the every move and make you feel part of the family! Happy to be part of it😁

V. C.

Great academy to get some proper dancing in your veins and being able to socialize with a bunch of fantastic people. Terrific experience! Totally recommended!

C.

DSA is a great place to get into Latin dancing fever or develop your dance moves. They have friendly and dedicated staff that will help you improve real fast. Atmosphere and music are great. For quick and effective learning I would totally recommend some private lessons with Alina and Abel where you’ll be introduced to proper technique. Give it a try!!!

V. P.

I highly recommend DSA to everyone that wants to learn dancing, to improve their technique or just to practice. I started as an absolute begginer with them 8 months ago and have learnt so much for both salsa and bachata. Abel and Alina and their team are not only amazing teachers but also create friendly and relaxed atmosphere during the classes. Great place to learn something new, make new friends and be active :)

A. S. F.

I absolutely love every class run by Dublin Salsa Academy! The founders of the DSA - Alina and Abel -are the best salsa and bachata teachers that I've met so far. All staff are very professional and create a warm sense of community along with good vibes. Can't recommend highly enough!

P. D.

The DSA is a fantastic place to learn, improve, get rid of bad habits and generally make real progress in dancing. There is an excellent class structure. The teachers are highly skilled dancers themselves - and impart their knowledge with enthusiasm and endless patience (in my case, very necessary!). The teacher/student ratio is terrific...with several teachers and assistants for each class. So there is always plenty of individual attention given to each student. The focus in the teaching is is very much “step by step” - which ensures that students develop a fundamental and deep knowledge of each part of a dance move before moving to the next. And it’s always fun and never boring. The atmosphere there is very welcoming. Students from all over the world attend. There’s plenty of feedback, videos and great interaction with students. Abel and Alina (top class dancers and teachers) have devoted much time, energy and resources over the years - through good times and bad (especially 2020-2022) - to making this a fantastic place to learn. I also think the teachers who are spending a lot of time with me these weeks deserve a mention - John and his assistants, Valentini and Sabrina. They are super dancers and teachers. Thanks so much guys! The DSA is a massive landmark now on the Salsa scene in Dublin. I strongly encourage anyone reading this to visit the DSA. You won’t regret it!

D. A.

I highly recommend Alina and Abel, I have been their student both in private and group classes. They give clear feedback to help improve your technique and they have a lot of patience with us beginners. The salsa community they have created is a a great environment for learning and having fun 🙂

l. h. c.

This is the right place to learn how to dance, and the only spot where I've been taught the true meaning of music, there's no other way our teachers could relive my personal learning experience. Many thanks to Abel and Alina for being such a great role model in terms of music and dance, you guys are simply the best!!!!!

S. S.

A life-changing experience with finally starting to learn salsa, always been an aspiration of mine and finally got the push to take action. They teach cuban salsa, line salsa and bachata... I stay for it all. I'm only a few weeks into it, and I know this is a lifetime commitment going forwards. I can't express the level of energy and happiness created at the start of every class with Abel's freestyle dance warm up. I've been to others, and this is something completely different in terms of the energy of the room. I've never seen people so willing to move their hips so freely on a first time class. Abel and Alina's constant supervision and teaching of the group makes it welcoming and endless fun. I'm so grateful to them for their education and friendship. Also, don't be afraid to ask Abel for a level 5 body roll if you want to see dancing at a different level. If you want to dance in a fun & non-judgemental environment with excellent teaching, this is the place to be. I was like you reading this review and wondering "should I go"... the reply is "GO!". Everyone shows up alone, so don't think you need a friend to go with if anything you will have a much better experience on your own! Thank you Abel & Alina!

A. V.

Was very hesitant to go to dance classes as am quite shy with it, but friend convinced me to come and I'm so f*cking happy I did. That was 9 months ago - since than I haven't skipped a lesson. I have so much fun learning with other people during class and everyone has great vibe & feels like a big family now. So much that Sunday classes in DSA is my favorite part of the week now.

X. H.

DSA welcomes you as family from day 1. All the instructors are incredibly helpful and talented. The environment is friendly and fun, no matter your skill level. I highly recommend!!

G. M.

I love learning salsa and bachatta with DSA.All the instructors are so helpful and classes are a lot of fun.They make you feel very welcome and the social dancing is great, it's a friendly bunch of people. Really enjoying it . Thanks so much DSA

J. G.

I love the methodology used in classes, teaching not just steps but also focusing on technique and always giving a lot of feedback and corrections which really help as a dancer (for both leads and followers). The socials are vibrant, with lots of friendly people from all levels, plenty of space and great atmosphere. Looking forward for the next Sunday! 💃🏼🕺🏻😊

I have to say after my first class that the experience was great. I loved the teachers and the way the class was structured, and on top of that, it was great fun. Although I am shy and I wasn't sure about dancing with strangers, I felt really comfortable there for and I really enjoyed it. I will keep going for sure

This is a place to have fun and enjoy the art of Latin dances! The amazing ambient and the high quality and standards of Abel and Alína not only as dancers but as well as people keep me coming back since 2016!!

I've been going to DSA now for over a year and the bachata classes and teachers are fantastic.... They go over and above helping and explaining any questions I have about moves or rhythm etc..... I'm very happy I'm being taught by such a professional dance school ... 👍😃

Very friendly teachers who go out of their way to explain the moves to you, and plenty of dancing in the club afterwards so you can practice what you learned :-) I highly recommend DSA.
