Mambo Bones Salsa Dance Studio is located in the heart of Richmond's art district.

 

It's more than just a dance studio;

it's a community where rhythm meets connection.

​​

SALSA IS FOR EVERYONE

We believe everyone deserves to experience the richness of Latin dance, and fall in love as quickly and deeply as we did. We believe that salsa is a universal language, a joyous expression of culture and spirit, accessible to everyone.

​

De-stress, work out, learn something new, and meet new people. It's your time to come alive with that playfulness, energy, and freedom the music gives us - and we all still need.​

​

When I moved back to my hometown of Richmond, Virginia, I made one simple rule: don't compromise on what gives me joy. One Google search later, my life changed forever.

We hope to add some joy to your life too. 

​

Let's get on that floor and have some fun!

We're excited to dance, grow, and connect with you!

 

EMPOWER GROWTH​

With a combined thirty years of dance experience and eight years of salsa dancing experience, our lead instructors are here to guide and support you as you dance your way to a healthier, happier, and more empowered you. ​

Our mission is to ignite the passion for salsa dancing within our students, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. We offer a diverse range of classes, from beginner steps to advanced techniques, catering to all levels of experience.

 

Our expert instructors, driven by their love for the dance, are committed to providing personalized guidance and encouragement, ensuring that each student feels confident and empowered on the dance floor.
 

MORE THAN MOVES. STEP INTO CENTURIES
At Mambo Bones, we emphasize not only the technical aspects of salsa but also the social and cultural richness that surrounds it. The best dancing connects with the music, the body, and the stories behind the moves. We strive to create a space where students can connect with one another, build lasting friendships, and experience the pure exhilaration of dancing to the infectious rhythms of Latin music.

We actively participate in Richmond's arts scene, hosting social dances and workshops, competing, performing, teaching, and collaborating with local musicians to share the joy of salsa with the wider community. Check out our events page.
