About this studio
Lupe's salsa dance studio in central Nürnberg has been teaching Latin dance for 30 years. The studio offers structured courses in salsa (classical Latin American style with roots in Salsa Cubano), Merengue, Bachata, and Cha-Cha-Cha across multiple levels — whether you have no prior experience, know the basics, or dance at an advanced level.
Lupe, the instructor, is a dance teacher from Lima, Peru who has lived in Nürnberg since 1986. She began performing Peruvian dances on television at age seven and brings that deep experience in Latin American rhythm and choreography to her teaching. Students consistently note her ability to meet each person where they are and her gift for conveying joy in dance. Her teaching method is structured yet personal, and she makes particular effort to help students understand movements and build confidence.
The studio runs regular courses across different levels, private lessons, and intensive courses. Workshops are scheduled throughout the year — recent offerings have included LadyStyle and Rueda sessions. Single students are welcome to enrol; Lupe pairs dancers during lessons for pedagogical reasons and encourages switching partners. Drop-in "taster and practice evenings" (Schnupper- und Übungsabende) are part of the regular schedule, often with themed activities such as a summer festival.
First-time learners can try free introductory videos for salsa, merengue, and bachata steps on the studio website. The atmosphere is relaxed and social; students report feeling very comfortable and describe learning something new in each class. Lupe's approach combines technical knowledge with warmth and humour.
