Nashville Salsa Dancing - Nashville, Tennessee

I’m so glad I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and take Salsa classes at Nashville Salsa Dancing! Nicole brings amazing energy, years of experience and a generous and empathetic spirit to every class. It can be difficult and uncomfortable but I’m met with encouragement to make a fool of myself in such a loving environment and it drives me to practice outside of class to grow and improve. In many ways I was feeling stuck and Salsa is a beautiful new language in which to explore myself and others in a vibrant community! If you are wanting to step out and have fun learning a new skill while meeting beautiful friends, I highly recommend signing up for Salsa classes with Nicole!! I am sure glad I did!

I've been taking salsa lessons with Nashville Salsa Dancing and Nicole for over a year and a half now, and I can honestly say they're one of the most passionate and dedicated instructors. It's clear that their love for salsa goes beyond just teaching steps; they are committed to building a vibrant and supportive community. Nicole has a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome, regardless of their skill level. She is always encouraging and she goes out of her way to help students improve.

And what truly sets Nicole apart is her dedication to fostering a sense of community. She organizes social events and salsa socials to bring the salsa community together. It's inspiring to see how much she cares about creating a safe space where people can connect, learn and grow. If you're looking for a salsa teacher who is not only skilled but also passionate about building a community, I highly recommend Nashville Salsa Dancing.

I was hooked from the very first class! Nicole does an amazing job creating a comfortable carefree atmosphere for her students! Loved that she had foundation classes that teach you the basics but once I got to Pattern Variations, I knew this was going to be a long term hobby for me! The salsa community is so welcoming and pushes you to be better each week. The salsa socials are tons of fun and they keep getting better! Don’t hesitate, just signup and thank yourself later!

I had a tiny bit of dance experience but in the 4 months since starting classes with Nicole, not only have I grown and progressed so much as a dancer but I’ve met so many wonderful, supportive people! Nicole is welcoming and genuinely cares about each of her students, teaching us how to be consistent and confident in our own skills, and also how to be considerate and respectful of others. Truly an amazing community and I love the structure of the classes!

I have been coming to Salsa class with Nicole since February 2024 and it has been an excellent experience to get out of the house, meet new people, move the body and learn the greatest Latin dance of them all, Salsa! Nicole is a great teacher and makes the experience very inviting and enjoyable. I have progressed tons throughout these 6 months and look forward to keep on improving my skills with her as my mentor.

I'm in month 3 of taking salsa classes with Nicole and it has been the best experience! She makes class so much fun and really breaks down the steps so they're easy to learn. This dance community has also been incredibly welcoming and always feels safe to grow, practice new moves, and maybe even stumble several times along the way. Highly recommend trying a class if you've been considering it - the cost is a great value, beyond worth it, and, at the very least, you'll have a good time. 🙂
