Imagine walking into a room with vibrant rhythms and a fervent passion for dance. Every corner is alive with this energy, and every footstep tells an artistic and cultural story. My Little Havana Dance Academy offers a unique experience for anyone with a passion for dance and rhythm.

Esteban Reyes founded this dance hub, which began as a tiny studio. Esteban was a professional dancer of international acclaim. Esteban Reyes opened his doors to share the spirit and passion of Cuban dance in his local community. The dance studio is now a popular spot for both novices and experienced dancers.

Why choose My Little Havana for your dance journey to begin? This starts with My Little Havana’s unique, but clever philosophy. Every dance step is important. The academy believes that dance is more than just executing movements perfectly. It’s also about expressing yourself. The laughter you let out when you nail a difficult spin, or the sweat that forms on your forehead following a vigorous rumba is what makes dance so special.

At the academy the classes are as diverse as a Cuban festival. The academy offers a wide range of classes, from the sensual waves and reggaeton sandungueo to the elegant classic cha-cha. Bolero lessons are for those interested in a slightly slower, rhythmic style of dance.

What makes this particular dance spot so special? Listen closely. You heard it right, live musicians are playing during Ritmo Nights, the monthly special. Esteban was the one who came up with this idea to simulate an authentic Cuban environment. Imagine perfecting your salsa moves with the pounding, raw beat of bongos and congas.

The academy is also a vital part of community enrichment. Its role goes beyond teaching steps. Public dance socials are held, allowing for cultural exchanges and social bonds to be formed. Son montuno is a popular son that combines tradition and modernity. It is not unusual to see artists, musicians, families, etc., dancing together.

You can relax if you are nervous about dancing or just starting out. The instructors are skilled, compassionate and often hilarious. They are all beginners themselves and remember how it feels to be in that position. To make everyone feel comfortable.

Stories from your own life? There are many. Julia, a retired educator who had never danced before, is one example. After receiving encouragement from her instructors and their support, Julia now leads the weekly practice sessions of salsa, swirling like a pro around the floor. Marco is a young engineer who discovered that dancing was an exciting escape from the monotony associated with numbers and codes.
