Attentive experienced salsa instructor. We went to 3 beginning salsa classes. Nice food choices during classes. We'll organized
Excellent your. Highly recommend. Live the museum.
Incredibile experience of the heritage of Salsa in Cali, the city is very much intertwined with this style of music despite not originally coming from here. Very knowledgeable guide and the tour has the purpose of introducing the visitor to a multidimensional experience.
