Testimonials
What 2,000+ Satisfied Students are Saying
“I had the best time on my Somoloco Salsa Immersion in Medellin. The entire trip was a blast. I continue to tell friends it was an 11 out of 10. Everything from the dance instructors, to the experiences, to the city of Medellin, the tourist attractions. All of it was just perfect.”
“The program was set up very well and I was quite happy with it, it was a great intro for my first visit to Colombia. The teachers were great too and very talented, I was happy to have met them. Medellin is a beautiful city, I look forward to visiting it again.”
“Honestly one of the best vacations of my life. I am so sad to leave! Thank you for my teachers. They are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!”
“It was my first time salsa dancing and so happy I took classes in Colombia. We loved the experience of learning new moves from the masters during the day, and trying them out among the locals at night. I can’t think of a better way to learn! Our morning acroyoga classes were a great way to stretch out after the late nights dancing.”
“Before Colombia, I had never danced. I come from a culture where there is quite an aversion towards human touch and connection, while here, dancing with a partner, being held by someone, being guided, supported and led…its just magical. And its spicy, its sexy, its hot!”
“Dancing has been awesome. It’s something I never I thought I would learn how do well. I now can get on a dance floor with confidence. It’s been a growing, learning, and in some ways a healing experience”
Frequently Asked Questions
Group Immersions occur only during listed dates on the Immersion Page, while Private Immersions run all 52 weeks a year. Group immersions and Private Immersions have the same programming and 1-1 class structure, just that in Group Immersions you are sharing the studio and the experience with other participants just like you. So from the welcome dinner, to having buddies to go out for meals with in your down time, you’ll have peers to share the experience with. With that said we often have multiple participants during Private Immersion dates. And whether you come yourself on a Private Immersion or join a Group Immersion,, you will always be accompanied by us for all programming, along with 24/7 support via whatsapp 
Group immersion programming begins on Mondays and ends on Saturdays. Sundays are reserved for arrival and departure.
Private immersion programming follows the same schedule, though we can tweak upon request.
Pay €350 deposit to reserve your immersion (or full price now if you’d like to just take care of it). The remaining balance is due no later than 60 days before your immersion start date.
Cancellations made within 60 days of the immersion are eligible for a refund, minus the deposit.
In the event of a documented medical emergency or bereavement preventing you from attending, we may, at our discretion, hold your full payment as a credit toward a future immersion within the next 12 months.
