Yemaya Salsa Dance Company

I agree with the other reviews that say Yemaya offers excellent instruction — not only in technique but also in styling. I’ve been dancing there 6 years and there is always more to learn. Also, check out the socials. The floor is nice, the music is great and the dancers are skillful.

Such a great atmosphere to learn to dance all styles! I love coming here to meet a lot of really nice people as well.

This is such a lovely studio, my daughter is a student here and she loves it. They have the BEST instructor there. If you are looking for dance lessons, look no further you must attend. You will not regret it !!!

I just started Salsa lessons here in mid-​December. I have the most fun there. Emelie is amazing. Yemaya is the most fun I’ve ever had. They have all kinds of different classes that you can take and they host salsa socials on certain saturdays.

BTW, they also teach @ the Spotlight in West Sac on Monday.

i’ve been dancing 10+ years and have taken lessons at different studios in everything ranging from hiphop to waltz. of all the lessons i’ve ever taken, my favorite are the ones i’ve had w/​emelie from yemaya!
the best thing about yemaya is that the studio has a real family feel. not only do they dance together, yemayaers are also there to celebrate birthdays and new babies, and to help fundraise to send dancers to salsa congress. even on my very first day in the studio, i was very warmly welcomed. the other dancers are very friendly and really make an effort to introduce themselves and to get to know you.
lessons range from beginner to advanced and all ages are welcome (they even have classes for kids). class sizes are small (so individual attention is guaranteed), and the classes are extremely affordable (only $ 10 per lesson, or $ 8 per lesson when they’re having a special).
if you’ve ever even vaguely considered trying to learn salsa dancing, definitely check out yemaya! =)
