Dancing Boulevard

Dancing Boulevard is a dance school on Calle de Andorra in the Hortaleza district of Madrid, teaching more than 16 styles of dance. The styles include Salsa, Bachata, Zumba, Swing and Lindy Hop, K-Pop, Urbano, Shuffle, Sevillanas and Flamenco, Funky, Cutting Shapes, Pilates, Kung Fu, Kizomba, and Lady Style. There is no enrolment fee and no requirement to commit to a fixed term.

The school has built a reputation for welcoming complete beginners. One student who had never danced — not even at a village party — describes learning that dancing improves coordination and balance alongside the enjoyment of following music. Another student who started in October had learned and enjoyed dance equally within weeks. The school's tagline reflects this: "I don't know how to dance. Our students used to say the same thing."

Instructors named in reviews include Cristina Manzanares (Swing), Rebeca (Latin rhythms and Salsa/Bachata), Marc and Adriana (Latin rhythms), Alba (Flamenco), Carlos, Claudio (Zumba), Álvaro, and Ramón (Zumba). Reviewers consistently describe these instructors as patient, energetic, clear in their teaching, and passionate about dance. One reviewer of Swing with Cristina Manzanares notes her dynamic, didactic approach and contagious energy, along with historical context and information about Swing culture and community. Latin rhythm students with Marc and Adriana report that they "give confidence and ease for learning to dance." Flamenco students describe Alba's infinite patience.

The location is accessible: it is 2 minutes from the metro and has free, easy parking. The studio operates on a structure described as "Review and Fun", with a welcoming approach emphasised in reviews as "close and family atmosphere" and "soul."

With a Google rating of 4.9 from 260 reviews, the school is consistently described as fun, stress-relieving, energising, and a place where progress becomes visible without effort.

Your first class is free to book with no enrolment fee or commitment. You'll be placed in a group at your level — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Professional — and taught by an instructor who will explain steps as many times as needed, create a welcoming atmosphere, and help you follow the music and enjoy yourself from day one.

The school employs multiple named instructors: Cristina Manzanares teaches Swing and Lindy Hop with dynamic, didactic energy and historical context about the dance; Rebeca teaches Latin rhythms and Salsa/Bachata with positivity and patience; Marc and Adriana teach Latin rhythms with clarity and encouragement; Alba teaches Flamenco with infinite patience; Claudio teaches Zumba with infectious enthusiasm; and Ramón and Carlos also teach Zumba. Álvaro teaches for absolute beginners.

The school welcomes complete beginners with no dance experience; one student had never danced before and now finds the classes teach coordination, balance, and joy.
