What do our students say?
Totalmente recomendada, un bello lugar para tomar las mejores clases en Cuba con profes muy profesionales. Muy agradecida
Very professional studio and instructors, extremely welcoming and friendly.
Estuve en la escuela hace 1 mes. Mi deseo era tener la experiencia de aprender unos pasos básicos. Fue una experiencia maravillosa. Los maestros fueron tan pacientes con nosotras. Salí de mi zona de comodidad. Si visitas la Habana, este es un lugar donde ir y tomar una clase de baile.
La Casa del Son me parece definitivamente la escuela de baile cubano más elevada en La Habana. El ámbito está elegante, agradable y todo bien estructurado. La Casa del Son está organizada profesionalmente, más que otras escuelas. Eso se puede también ver en el festival ritmo Cuba, qué otra escuela está en grado de organizar un tal festival. En el año pasado pude disfrutar de algunas clases de salsa cubana con la profesora Mileydi qué enseña con alta profesionalidad y un nivel alto, siempre también atenta y consecuente para qué los alumnos se mejoran y aprenden.
