Where will I stay?

All the classes are held in the Centro, so you can also look for a hotel or AirBnB in the Centro. You can find something for any budget. Email laura@laurafraser.com if you need advice.

Will I have a partner?

Yes! Too often there are too many followers and not enough leaders in salsa. We are hiring assistants for dancers at both the classes and the events.

Do I have to already know how to dance Cuban salsa?

No! We will be able to accommodate all levels of dancers, from beginners to very experienced dancers who need a challenge.

How many people will be there?

This is a small group so that you can benefit from personalized instruction. We are limiting the number of participants to 20.

Do I have to be able to speak Spanish?

No. But it never hurts to try.

Where are the classes held?

At the Sindicato, a community dance space on #4 Recreo, right in the heart of San Miguel de Allende. The social will be at Pavo Real.

Can I just drop in on classes?

Because we are a small event and we are guaranteeing partners, we will only be able to offer drop-in classes to the Master Classes with Patri and Yunier.

Can I just drop in on the dance event?

Yes, you can buy tickets in advance at the Sindicato for $200 pesos or at the door, $250 pesos each. $500 peso VIP pass in advance allows you access to taxi dancers. This must be in advance because that way we know how many taxi dancers to hire.

What are your payment and refund policies?

Advance tickets are necessary and limited because we may sell out. If you need a refund, we will return it with a $50 service fee by May 19, otherwise we can only refund your ticket if your space is filled. We accept payment by Venmo, Zelle, or wire transfer. PayPal add 2.5%.

We reserve the right to change the classes and events depending on extenuating circumstances and substitute another. We also reserve the right to cancel the event up to two weeks in advance due to lack of attendance.
