Another quick question: Has anyone ever booked dance lessons in Santiago or Havana through thr German agency "Danza y Movimiento"?
Or, for that matter, through some other agency they'd recommend?
Please let me know if this sort of question about a specific company is inappropriate for this forum.
Thanks,

I'm taking classes since many years with Gilberto Capote : ph 861.4902, Habana Vieja, $ 10,-/hour private lessons, incl. if necessary a cuban dance partner, he published a CD with the most important vueltas, very methodical, you'll learn fast, teaches mainly a 'street' version of casino.
On a more sophisticated level I found this professional dancer and her choreographer partner to be top notch: Leida and Lester, $ 10,-/hour private lesson, Centro Habana.
Every hour you put into learning to dance salsa/casino will yield you big returns in fun, not to mention the respect of your Cuban friends - go for it.
