How to Take Salsa Lessons in Cuba
Anyone can take salsa lessons at the local dance hall, but only the truly inspired make the pilgrimage to the Mecca of salsa--Cuba. Although direct travel from the States to Cuba is still prohibited, the ardent salsa afficionado can easily book dance lessons from Hackensack and land in Havana a few days later.

1
Evaluate your salsa skills before arranging your trip. This will help you enroll in the most appropriate class for your level. If you don't know salsa from the macarena, take a few lessons before you go to be one step ahead when you arrive.
-
2
Book an "educational" excursion to Cuba through a travel agent who features salsa dancing. Several travel companies offer packages designed exclusively for those in search of salsa lessons during their visit.
-
3
Get to Cuba. If the U.S. government denies your educational pretext for a visa, arrive there as most Americanos do--under the radar on a short flight from Cancun, Mexico.
-
4
Ask your hotel concierge for the best discotheque that offers salsa lessons. Arrive early to catch a few expert tips before the crowds arrive to show off their moves.
