You step into a bright, mirror-lined studio in central Lima, the pulse of a clave tapping through the speakers and a patient instructor counting you in. The room smells faintly of floor polish and sea air carried from the nearby Pacific; movements begin small—weight shifts, timing, basic turns—and by the end of sixty minutes your posture and rhythm have already started to change.

Wear smooth-soled shoes
Choose breathable shoes with a light, grippy sole to pivot comfortably without sticking to the floor.
Hydrate before and after
Bring a water bottle—the studio provides AC but moving to music is deceptively aerobic.
Arrive early to warm up
Get there 10 minutes before start to stretch, meet the instructor, and discuss any mobility or learning preferences.
Communicate your learning pace
This is a private class—ask the teacher to slow down or repeat patterns as needed to build confidence.
Comfortable dance or sneaker-style shoes
Light, smooth soles help you pivot and protect your feet during turns.
Breathable clothing
Loose, moisture-wicking layers let you move freely and stay cool.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated improves stamina during repeated practice.
Small towel
Useful in humid months to wipe sweat between repetitions.
