What is salsa?
Salsa is a passionate, energetic dance that comes from Latin America. It combines captivating rhythms, quick steps, and lots of feeling. Whether on the dance floor or simply listening to the music – salsa brings good vibes and joy for life.
How can I sign up?
Select the “Courses” tab, scroll down past the schedule and the explanation of the membership system. There you will find all classes. Click “Registration” on the class you want and then choose your membership. If anything is still unclear, just send us an email.
I have never danced before – is salsa still for me?
Absolutely. Salsa is for everyone – including complete beginners. Our teachers will guide you through the steps in a relaxed, step-by-step way. Just come by and have fun.
How long does a course last?
A course lasts 8 weeks. It takes place once per week and each class is 55 minutes long.
What does “flat rate” mean?
Flat rate means that you can attend all classes that match your level. If you are not sure which level is right for you, just ask the teachers – they will be happy to help.
What does the bachata pass include?
With the bachata pass, you can attend all bachata classes for 4 weeks – as often as you like. It costs € 100, reduced € 80. Salsa classes are not included; if you want to dance both, the flat rate is the right choice.
How does the membership system work?
A membership runs for 4 weeks at a time and renews automatically for another 4 weeks. Your chosen membership stays the same on renewal (whether 1 class, 2 classes or flat rate). You can cancel or pause at any time yourself in your customer profile – effective at the end of the current 4-week cycle. Each course is designed to run for 8 weeks (two membership cycles); so you get the full course content, we recommend staying for at least that long.
Are there reduced prices?
Yes – there is a discount for students, pupils, trainees, etc. under the age of 27. Please select it during booking and bring proof on the first day of class.
Is there a dress code?
No. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and can move well. Please wear clean, neat, and fresh clothing so that dancing together is pleasant for everyone.
Do I need a partner?
No. We rotate partners, so you dance with different people and get to know them quickly. Of course, you are also welcome to come with a partner if you want.
How can I cancel my membership?
You can cancel or pause your membership at any time yourself in your customer profile, without giving a reason. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current 4-week cycle; until then you can keep attending all classes included in your membership. A scheduled cancellation can be reversed in your profile until it takes effect. There is no pro-rata refund for a cycle that has already started.
How do I pay for the dance course?
During registration, you provide your bank details. The course fee is then automatically debited in the third week of the course month.
Which shoes are recommended for dancing?
You do not need special dance shoes. Street shoes are not allowed because of the sensitive dance floor. Suitable options include socks or clean sneakers. Shoes with a smooth sole that glide easily over the floor are best – your knees will thank you.
How much does a salsa course cost in Vienna?

one class per week. A single class costs €20 (€15 reduced).

How difficult is it to learn salsa?
Salsa is very accessible, even for complete beginners. The basic steps can usually be learned within the first few classes. The most important things are a sense of rhythm and regular practice. In our beginner classes at Vienna Salsa Studio in Vienna, you learn step by step and dance with different partners, which helps you progress quickly.
How long does a salsa course last?
A salsa course at Vienna Salsa Studio usually lasts 8 weeks. Classes take place once a week, and each class lasts about 55 minutes. After completing the course, you can either move on to the next level or take several classes per week with the flat rate.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes – in case of a longer trip or an injury. Due to system limitations, pauses are only possible for a full month. Please let us know as early as possible, as pauses unfortunately cannot be applied retroactively.
When are there no dance classes?
Please check the holiday periods on the website, as they do not necessarily match school holidays. Classes still take place on public holidays.
Can I make up a class that I missed?
Yes – if you miss a class, you are welcome to make it up in another class during the current course cycle.
