About this studio
Strictly Salsa runs weekly salsa classes and a salsa club every Thursday at the National Stadium on South Circular Road, Dublin. They're positioned as Dublin's longest-running salsa classes and club, with a 4.9 Google rating across 39 reviews.
They offer group salsa classes on a rotating schedule with beginner courses starting on set dates (the source mentions August 20th and October 1st as examples). Beginners classes run Thursday 20:30–21:30 followed by social dancing until late. You can join a six-week beginner course for €50, or try a single class for €10 and pay the remaining €40 if you decide to continue. The studio structures learning across three levels: a 10-day beginner program for those starting out, intermediate classes for people with the basics, and advanced sessions for dancers wanting to deepen their skills.
Beyond group classes, they offer private one-to-one instruction from €60 and specialise in wedding dance choreography from €80. Private lessons are marketed as faster learning with experienced teachers. The studio welcomes solo dancers—you don't need to bring a partner to start, and most people begin that way.
The teaching environment is described by students as inclusive, safe, and fun. Testimonials mention a mixed group across different ages and nationalities, and a supportive atmosphere that builds confidence. One student noted she started a year ago and 'immediately fell in love with Salsa thanks to these teachers and the friendly environment'.
What to expect
Your first visit
