The Pacific rolls against the cliff below the Malecón as you step onto a patch of pavement warmed by the sun; music finds its way up from the street and Luis counts you in. This is a one-hour salsa and bachata session taught by an experienced local instructor on the seaside promenade in Miraflores — an environment that turns basic steps into a social ritual.

History
Lima’s coastal promenade grew during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; its public spaces now host cultural life including music and dance tied to Afro-Latin traditions.
Conservation
Respect public spaces by avoiding loud amplification and packing out trash; coastal erosion management means organized events should avoid damaging cliffside vegetation.
Reserve your spot on the Salsa and Bachata dance class today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive Early to Warm Up
Show up 10–15 minutes before start to stretch, secure a flat spot on the promenade and meet the instructor.
Footwear Matters
Wear flexible shoes with a smooth sole for turns and pivots — avoid heavy tread or new shoes that might blister.
Hydrate and Shade
Bring water and sunscreen; coastal sun and dancing can dehydrate you quickly even with a cool breeze.
No Partner Needed
You can join solo — the class teaches lead/follow fundamentals so everyone practices both roles if desired.
Flexible dance shoes or flat-soled sneakers
Smooth soles help with pivoting and reduce strain on ankles during turns.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated keeps energy up during active practice in coastal sun.
