What's A Dance Intensive?
This Spring, Vive La Salsa Tours presents a dance-focused intensive experience in Cali, Colombia — the Salsa Capital of the World.
Designed for experienced salsa dancers, this trip is centred on technical growth, repetition, and immersion through six private group classes with top local instructors. This is not a casual dance vacation or beginner program. It is an opportunity to train deeply, refine your movement, and push your dancing to the next level in the city where salsa lives and breathes.
Who is this trip For?
This intensive is ideal for dancers who:
Have prior salsa experience (studio training, social dancing, teams, or performance)
Want to improve technique, speed, musicality, and precision
Are familiar with structured dance classes and ready for focused training
Are looking to immerse themselves in Cali’s dance culture with intention
Beginner & First-Time Dancers:
This experience is primarily designed for dancers with prior salsa training. That said, beginners and first-time salsa dancers are welcome if they are comfortable with a fast-paced pace and technical instruction.
Classes will be challenging and move quickly. If you are excited by a challenge and willing to commit fully to the learning process, you will gain a lot from this intensive.
The Training Experience
At the heart of this trip are seven private group classes, led by highly respected local instructors in Cali.

Salsa caleña technique, footwork precision, and movement clarity.
Speed & Agility
Developing speed, control, stamina, and fast-twitch response is essential to Cali-style salsa.

You will:
Social dance in Cali’s iconic salsa spaces
Experience live music and local dance culture
Apply what you learn directly on the dance floor
