In late 2024 I was living in Amsterdam, coming out of a breakup and feeling pretty lost and broken.
One day, doing a journaling exercise, I had to imagine other possible lives. In one I wrote "salsa dancer". The exercise invited you to do something that brought you closer to one of those dreamed-up lives. I had no idea how to dance, but the other lives were even harder to reach. So I signed up for salsa classes five minutes from home.
A while later I went to Cali. Looking to feel something again... to at least lift my spirits by dancing salsa. And I started feeling better and better, more alive and happier. There, most of my new friendships had started with a "we met dancing" :)
This trip is handmade. Every class, every social, every experience is here because I lived it and it moved me. I don't include anything that didn't make me feel something. And part of all this is simply danced, each in their own way, and that's what makes it special :)
For me it was magical. And if something in all this calls you to come, if you decide to put your energy here, I hope it'll be magical for you too.
Not at all, really. Almost all of us come the same way: travelling solo. It's the starting point, not a problem — and we promise nobody ends up watching from a corner.
None in particular: the trip is for all levels. Caleña salsa is hardly danced outside Colombia, so most of us start from zero with it, even after years of dancing salsa. Classes start from the basics and adapt to the group. What really counts is attitude, not counting to eight elegantly.
Most people are between 28 and 40, but we don't leave anyone out for their age, and that's the beauty of it. What unites us is the dance floor, not your ID.
You book the flights yourself, so you choose the dates and price that suit you. But don't worry: we tell you exactly which airport to land at and at what time, and we handle the rest.
In Cali. The city has an airport, so you choose where you fly from and at what price. The only thing that matters is being in Cali on day one; from there, we've got you :)
Not at all. The group is mixed, with plenty of guys too. Here what unites us is dancing, not gender.
No 😊 People come from all over the world! That's part of what makes the trip amazing too… we bring together people who just want to dance and travel, no matter where you're from. Some trips will be guided purely in Spanish and others in English and Spanish.
It's a big city and, like any big city, you need to use your head: keep your phone out of sight on the street and take a taxi or ride app at night. We stay in San Antonio, a calm neighbourhood full of life, and we go out as a group with people from Cali who know the city inside out.
We've been there. On our first edition, an earthquake forced us to cancel the Pacific leg, and we set up alternatives on the spot: private classes, events, a museum and a hike. If anything important changes, we let you know as soon as possible and you can choose between an alternative or a refund, as set out in our booking terms.
A €500 deposit confirms your spot. The rest is due by 1 December (in two payments for the full trip). There are 10 spots, allocated in order of booking.
A passport valid for at least 6 months and your travel insurance, which is mandatory. Most European passports don't need a visa for tourism, but check yours. Within 72 h before your flight you need to fill in Check-MIG, the online form from Migración Colombia. For vaccines, ask your travel clinic: yellow fever is usually recommended for the Pacific coast.
Comfortable shoes with soles that spin (no grippy rubber), light clothes, something long-sleeved for the air con and swimwear for the Pacific. And lots of energy 💃
Yes. Our trips are covered by the VZR Garant guarantee against insolvency: if We Met Dancing couldn't deliver the trip, VZR Garant takes care of your refund. How it works →
Yes, of course! And not only Cali — we want to keep dancing around the world. Coming soon: Brazil and the Dominican Republic. 💃
