THE STUDIO

Salsa 88th St Studio is a continuation of a project born in 2000 in Italy, when Alessandro and Annia opened their first Salsa Studio with the dream of spreading the love and the passion for Salsa.

Our teaching system has been tested for about 20 years, created and perfected over a long time and used on many people with different learning abilities and ages.

The reason why we have dedicated the last 20 years of our lives to teach how to dance is that we truly believe that Salsa is an extraordinary tool that used in the right way can give people enormous benefit such as: build self-esteem and confidence, better social skills, improves coordination and balance, encourages creativity and self-expression, exercises the mind and body, and so many others Health, Physical, Mental, and Social skills and advantages.
