Viva La Salsa!
Welcome to Viva La Salsa - MELBOURNE
The Mambo (New York salsa) dance school with a contemporary twist!
We are a Melbourne-based dance school led by World Salsa Champions, Almendra and Richie. Specialising in Mambo and with nearly 20 years of experience in various Latin rhythms.
We offer weekly classes, including Mondays in collaboration with TSF, as well as specialised training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at VLS, located in the heart of the city.
In addition, we run an annual immersive program in cities across Australia, New Zealand, and around the world.
“Nobody chooses to be passionate, it is something that grows within you. It happens over time, you invest in doing what you really like regardless of what others say.”
With love – Almendra & Richie
It all starts with music, it continues with passion.
Viva La Salsa!
by Almendra & Richie, delivered by a collective of passionate and high level teachers, here to guide you on your salsa journey.
World Salsa Champions, professional dancers and teachers.
We created VLS because Salsa is meant to be shared.
Viva La Salsa is about sharing the love of Latin Dance, to offer flexibility and create an artistically diversified school.
Simply because, there is not only one way to dance Salsa!
