What makes our dance 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 dance 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! Lot's 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 dance 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, dance 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!

EXCELLENT Based on 201 reviews Corey Nessbert2024-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shahid is a great teacher and the class itself has a very welcoming atmosphere. CLAIRE ASPINALL2024-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best decision I've made in a while! It was comforting that I wasn't alone as four others attended their first salsa dance class at the same time as me! Definitely no need to bring a partner as the rotation system works really well. I felt very welcome by those more experienced and our guide through this journey gave great instruction and reassurance. Time flew in the blink of an eye and I can say I really enjoyed learning a few salsa steps and meeting some wonderful people. My next class is already booked. It was a fun evening. Thank you 😊 Helen2024-09-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time at Salsa! A lovely group of people in the class lots of fun and clear instruction for each of the steps that we learnt. Will definitely be continuing my lessons!! Alan Bannster2024-09-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great fun! Total beginner and learned a few steps and moves in first class. Yes - I will definitely need to practice more at home but teacher and class wholly supportive. Good exercise and a social way to spend those dark evenings. A Nicholls2024-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing class that was well instructed great friendly atmosphere highly recommend it to anyone and everyone Matthew Evans2024-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shahid and Angeliki are awesome teachers. The class in Rhiwbina was a great experience. With very experienced teachers they gauged how far to push you to grow your capability without overloading the group. The pace of the class with the mix of group and individual feedback really helped with our development. Can’t wait to hear back next week!

Who we are
About Shahid/Salsa Buena
Shahid is the founder, director, and main teacher of Salsa Buena and most of its dance classes. He began his dance 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
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!
- 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.
