The studio offers professional instruction across a wide range of styles: Salsa Cubana, Son, ChaChaCha, Mambo, Despelote, Reggaeton, Cuban Rumba, and Afro-Cuban dances. Their mission is to bring Cuban culture closer to their students.
Classes are structured by level. Beginners start with rhythmic foundations, basic steps, and simple turns in Salsa Anfängerkurs.

Advanced students (Salsa Fortgeschrittene) work with complex footwork, rhythm mastery, leading technique, and turns. The studio also uses a three-level progression system marked as Tanzniveaus I, II, and III, each building on the last until beginner goals are met.
Beyond group classes, Garabato offers private lessons (Salsa-Privatstunden) where you choose the day, time, content, and frequency. They tailor courses to individual needs for faster, more efficient learning.
