About the studio

Paris Mambo Studio is a long-running multi-style dance centre in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, a few minutes from Nation and Daumesnil metros. The studio occupies three fully renovated, air-conditioned rooms at 48 rue de la Gare de Reuilly and runs an additional partner venue called L'Annexe at 29 rue Victor Chevreuil with two more rooms. Across both spaces the team programmes weekly classes in Cuban salsa, Puerto Rican (on2) salsa, rueda de casino, son cubano, bachata and kizomba/semba, alongside a wider catalogue of modern jazz, ballet, hip hop, tap, flamenco, heels, theatre and wellbeing classes (yoga, pilates, barre au sol, gym, tai chi). Latin dance teachers operate as independent instructors who set their own pricing and take registrations directly, which keeps the offer flexible for absolute beginners up to advanced intermediates. The studio welcomes children from age three and runs dedicated kids and teen tracks, making it a family-friendly option among Paris dance schools. Rooms are also available for rental seven days a week for private lessons, workshops, rehearsals, shoots and corporate seminars. The studio organises occasional intensive workshops (stages) throughout the season, including a 2025/2026 vocal intensive. Paris Mambo positions itself less as a single-discipline academy and more as a neighbourhood dance hub serving every age and level in the 12th arrondissement.

Established multi-discipline dance centre in Paris 12th arrondissement; the brand also operates the partner space L'Annexe (29 rue Victor Chevreuil) for additional classes and room rentals. The current 2025/2026 season is the most recent confirmed programme on the official site.

"If you're looking to learn tap dancing in a truly friendly atmosphere, you've come to the right place! Sonia, the teacher, is very welcoming and teaches her art with passion and good humor! People come back year after year, which is a great sign. Last year, we put on a really hig"

"I largely agree with the negative reviews about this center. I called to inquire about room rentals. The two people I spoke to were unpleasant, giving me prices that contradicted those on their own website. I do not recommend them."
— Lauriana GTF · 5 months ago
"Je suis assez d'accord avec l'avis négatif sur cet endroit. Accueil déplorable, saleté, manque de professionnalisme de la part de certains professeurs. Je m'apprête à retirer aussi ma fille, et ça me rassure de savoir que je ne suis pas la seule à trouver cette organisation compl"
