About
In business since 1999
Salsa Atlanta, also known as SALSAtlanta, is a Cuban dance school founded in 1999 by Julian Mejia, making it one of the longest-running Casino and Rueda de Casino schools in Georgia. Julian, who was born in Manizales, Colombia and began dancing salsa as a child, developed a specific interest in Cuban music and dance style in his youth before relocating to Atlanta in the spring of 1999 to start the area's first dedicated Casino dance school and performance group.
The school's core focus is Cuban Salsa, also called Salsa Casino or Rueda de Casino, a partner dance style distinct from more common Latin ballroom salsa. Regular group classes run at multiple skill levels, led by a small team of trained instructors, and private lessons are also available on request for students who want more individualized instruction and a more flexible schedule.
Beyond weekly classes, Salsa Atlanta has built a reputation as a hub for Cuban music and dance culture in the region, organizing long-running community events including Salsa on Tuesday, the Annual Fiesta de Navidad, and La Casa del Son, an event series billed as a home base for Cuban music in Atlanta. Its programming extends into both Atlanta and Athens, Georgia.
For couples preparing for a wedding, the private lesson format offered by Salsa Atlanta can be a practical option for building comfort and choreography ahead of a first dance, working one-on-one with instructors trained in the Cuban Casino style rather than a generic dance curriculum.
Couples curious about private instruction for their wedding can reach out through Salsa Atlanta's WeddingVenture profile to ask about availability and lesson options.
Salsa Atlanta is one of the wedding dance instructors in Atlanta and offers wedding entertainment services.
