LUCÍA CHACÓN
“Salsa should feel like you.”
Lucía grew up inside Cali’s salsa culture—where rhythm is lived before it is taught. Her lessons are precise, generous, and grounded in one idea: technique should never erase your personality. It should give you the freedom to show more of it.

“Lucia is an amazing teacher and someone who truly cares about her craft and students. She has a deep understanding of the various styles of dance she teaches. In the short period of two months I spent learning with her, my salsa on 1 and salsa caleña progressed tremendously quickly. If you're starting from scratch or have years of experience, you'll without a doubt gain something from studying with Lucia.”

“I had 20 private bachata lessons with Lucia in a month and it was the greatest experience. She is such a beautiful dancer so I could learn even just from watching and mimicking her. She knows how to teach the key point and has a good sense of when to go quickly or take time in learning. There are many dance teachers in Cali, but I can say she is one of the best.”

“Lucia is a very skilled and experienced dance teacher. As a complete beginner, I gained so much from the 10 salsa lessons I took with her. If I ever return to Cali, I will absolutely take more lessons with Lucia.”
