What makes our Classes Stand Out

Start Anytime: The Most Popular Salsa Style, Your Way!

No fixed dates or courses - Start Anytime and attend on the days that suit you! Our classes run weekly from Monday to Thursday, teaching Cross Body Style Salsa On 1 ('LA Style'), the world's most popular Salsa style (ask Chatgpt!). Show off your moves at Dance Nights Worldwide!

Pay As You Go

No need to pay up front for blocks of classes. Just want a taster first? Prefer to pay for each evening as and when? No problem. Just book in for any evening anytime before attending.

No need to bring a partner

It's fine to come on your own! Lots do, and you'll make friends of all ages on your first night. We partner people up and rotate partners (for those that want to, most do!). You get to meet everyone. A great icebreaker for socialising and dancing later on!

Social & Dance Time with Bar between and after Classes

We don't use halls/gyms or studios. They can be so uninviting, and lack any social/dance opportunity. We use Pubs and Clubs with amazing function rooms, bars and seating. After class you can mingle and have a drink, socialise, dance and practice what you have learned with your new class mates till late!

All Levels & Styles in One Night - No Extra Cost!

You could take up to 3 classes in different levels and styles eg Salsa & Bachata from complete Beginner to Advanced - all in one night, in one place, at one price. No having to pay more for extra classes in the same eve or come on another day to pay for another style or level.

Regular Weekend Social Events

We host some of the UK's biggest Latin dance nights in and around Cardiff, classes with top guest teachers and 150+ dancers of all levels from across the South West and beyond. Dance, connect, and enjoy the vibrant Latin vibes in the stunning venues we use for these special events!

Who we are

About Shahid/Salsa Buena

Shahid is the founder, director, and main teacher of Salsa Buena and most of its classes. He began his Salsa journey in 2001 whilst living in London when persuaded to attend a local Salsa class and has since not looked back! Living in London he was fortunate enough to count some of the worlds best teachers and performers as his mentors, Super Mario, Susanna Montero, Marchant Birch, Leon Rose, Tamambo, Larisa Balogh, as well as travelling to international congresses around the world from Spain to USA learning from all the worlds best teachers . “I was so lucky to have these guys as my teachers, learning from the best of the best!”. After returning to his home town of Cardiff in 2006, Shahid found that his skills were much in demand and Salsa Buena was eventually born!

frequently asked questions

f.a.q

No need to bring a partner. We partner people up and rotate partners (for those that want to, most do), you get to meet everyone!
Casual wear (jeans, t-shirts etc) are the norm. We recommend you wear anything comfortable on your feet with a smooth sole.
Salsa dancers come in all ages (18+ for our classes), shapes and sizes, so there is no need to worry about your age, fitness level or body type. Salsa is a gentle, fun form of exercise that can help you get in shape without feeling like you’re working out. So if you’re looking for a way to get moving and have fun, salsa dancing is a great option!

Don’t worry if you think you have two left feet. At Salsa Buena, we believe that anyone can learn to dance, and we make it our mission to make the learning process fun and enjoyable. We will take the pressure off of you so that you can focus on having fun and learning at your own pace. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the basics!

How quickly you learn salsa will depend on a number of factors, including your natural ability, your commitment to learning, and the quality of instruction you receive. However, there are some things you can do to improve your chances of making fast progress:
  • Have a positive attitude. Learning salsa is a challenging but rewarding process. If you approach it with a positive attitude, you will be more likely to stick with it and make progress.
  • Attend classes regularly. The more you practice, the better you will become. Aim to attend classes at least once a week, and more if possible.
  • Practice between classes. There are many ways to practice salsa at home, such as watching videos, listening to music, and practicing the steps in front of a mirror.
  • Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they are learning something new. Don’t let this discourage you. Just keep practicing and you will eventually get the hang of it.
  • Focus on the enjoyment factor. Salsa is a fun dance, so make sure you are enjoying yourself. If you are not having fun, you are less likely to stick with it.
To ensure a spot in the class and an ideal group size for teaching, please book online through our website. We use online booking to ensure that everyone has a chance to participate and that we know when to expect you.
