About the studio

Noche Salsera Dance Academy is a salsa and bachata school in the heart of Dublin City Centre, operating out of the Teacher's Club at 36 Parnell Square West. Founded as a beginner-friendly, inclusive community, it runs weekly adult classes every Wednesday evening from 18:50 to 21:30, followed by an open social practice from 21:30 to 22:30 where students can apply what they have learned. The academy bills itself as the only school in Dublin teaching Bachata and Salsa On2 (also known as Mambo or New York Style) from beginner level upwards, and supplements its core curriculum with deep-dives into Chacha, Boogaloo, Son Cubano and Pachanga via a dedicated Special Salsa Class. Programmes are organised in six-week terms with three tiered memberships - Silver (one style, six classes, EUR 50), Gold (both styles, twelve classes, EUR 90) and Platinum (eighteen classes including the Special Salsa Class, EUR 120) - and each membership unlocks the weekly social and video recordings of every class. No partner is required to join, and a EUR 10 come-and-try drop-in is offered for first-timers. Beyond regular classes the school hosts a monthly Saturday Salsa Social Party in the same venue, with workshops at 19:30 and 20:30 followed by a party until 00:30, with cash-only tickets between EUR 10 and EUR 20. Private one-to-one lessons (from EUR 60) and bespoke wedding-dance choreography (from EUR 100) round out the offering, and the venue itself features a spacious dance hall and two bars (one in the hall, one upstairs) with free parking around Parnell Square after 19:00.

Noche Salsera positions itself as 'El Paraiso De La Salsa' and as the only Dublin school offering beginner-level Bachata and Salsa On2 (Mambo / New York Style). The website does not state a founding year or founder name; its public-facing 'History Corner' is dedicated to the broader history of salsa rather than to the academy itself.

"I dont think I can express how much I have enjoyed signing up for both dance classes. It is beginner friendly and it is taught at a very manageable pace!! The dance instructors are great and there is a strong sense of community among other dancers. I can confidently say that this"

"First time visiting. I liked it. A wonderful studio. Large space and good sound. It's good that the salsa/bachata classes have different levels of students and that the social dance event had good leaders."
