School Dances Latines Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba - Salsanueva Paris

SalsaNueva runs two studios in Paris — one in the 12th arrondissement (10 rue Érard, Métro Reuilly-Diderot) and one in the 20th (32 rue du Capitaine Marchal, Métro Porte de Bagnolet). The school teaches adult and children's classes across a wide range of styles. For adults, the Latin dances include Salsa Cubaine, Salsa Portoricaine, Salsa Colombienne, Bachata, and Kizomba. Solo styles include Heels, Reggaeton, Samba Brésilienne, Hip Hop, Afro, Street Jazz, Danse Orientale, Body Movement, Pilates, Modern Jazz and DanceHall. Children can begin from age 3 with Éveil à la danse (dance awareness), progressing to Danse Classique, Modern Jazz, Street Jazz, Hip Hop, Dance Clip and K-Pop for older children and teens.

The school is founded by Julien Cogordan, Champion de France de Salsa 2013/2014. Classes run 1 hour long, with partner changes built into coupled dances so you don't need to arrive with a partner. Typical class sizes are between 10 and 20 couples for Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba; 15–20 people for solo styles. Beginners are welcomed year-round through dedicated beginner sessions, including initiation classes on Sunday afternoons. You can join at any point in the year.

The studios are open Monday to Saturday. The school offers flexible payment: you can pay in 1X, 3X, 5X, 8X or 10X without fees. Trial classes are available and are refunded if you sign up on the same day. Single-class cards (20, 30, or 50 lessons) are available as add-ons to annual passes.

Beyond regular classes, SalsaNueva runs monthly Friday Folies social evenings open to both students and the public. The school produces an annual professional gala for adults on 21 June 2026 and a children's gala (Gala Kids) the same day at Théâtre Le 13è Art in Paris. Choreographic workshops run over several months leading to performances at the annual galas. The school also offers a premium dance retreat called SalsaNueva Escape — a week-long immersion with classes, socials and sunshine in partnership with Club Med.

For corporate clients, the school provides team-building sessions, dance lessons in the workplace, spectacle animations, and choreography for weddings (including couple routines, first dances and evening entertainment). EVJF (hen party) workshops are also available. The school runs summer workshops and monthly stages, plus open house events in September. The studios feature changing rooms and a bar at the 12th arrondissement location.

A 1-hour class with 10–20 other dancers (depending on style), regular partner changes, energetic instruction, and a welcoming environment for all levels. You can wear street clothes or dance shoes — whatever makes you comfortable. Trial classes are refunded if you book membership the same day.

Teachers named in reviews include Jerry, Willy, and ManuxSo. The school emphasises selecting instructors as a core principle; reviews praise the teaching quality and note that instructors are "diplômés et expérimentés, formés à la pédagogie enfants et ados" (qualified, experienced, and trained in child and teen pedagogy). Julien Cogordan, the founder, is a two-time French Salsa Champion.

Beginners are welcome year-round; dedicated beginner sessions run regularly, including Sunday afternoon initiation classes for complete newcomers. You do not need a partner.
