Learn Salsa from the soul with Afrodesia Salsa
Afrodesia Salsa offers Cuban salsa dance classes for adults in Reading.
Classes are held in a vibrant and friendly environment where people come together to experience (or discover!) their passion for salsa music and dance.
Our mission
Afrodesia Salsa was born out of the love for afro-cuban jazz music, authentic cuban salsa and a desire to teach salsa to others.
Our mission is simple: To teach as many people as possible one of the most feel-good dances on the planet, Cuban Salsa!
Our teaching style
At Afrodesia Salsa we encourage positive learning in a fun and relaxed way. This helps put new students at ease and regular students in the mood to have their weekly dose of fun and dance. However, classes have the right amount of structure and a set programme of learning for each level. So along with the fun and socialising, students build on their technique to progress and become great dancers!

If you are a beginner…
You will discover there is no such thing as having two left feet. Your body can move in a way you thought it wouldn’t be possible (let us assure you, it is possible!).
At Afrodesia Salsa you will discover how much fun learning salsa is and how great it makes you feel by simply trying. Before you know it, you will have mastered the basic steps which will enable you to dance salsa with confidence, and move onto the next level with ease.
If you are more advanced…
Well, we don’t need to convince you, you’re already mad about salsa and hooked on the buzz it gives you every time you hear the music and you hit the floor!
At Afrodesia Salsa you will keep on practicing your salsa dance skills, and learn new more advanced techniques as you continue to grow in confidence. You will enjoy the freedom of the social dancing where you can truly express your Cuban salsa style!
Whatever level you are at…
Our dance classes are fun, relaxed, and rewarding. Please don’t worry if you come alone, most of our students come to the classes without a partner and all have a great time! So come and give it a try!

Laszlo TothI always loved dancing and I'm happy to come to Afrodesia Salsa, to learn something new. Esther and Jerry are great teachers, teaching authentic Cuban salsa. They are looking after everyone, with honest care, no matter how experienced you are. The classes are good fun with weekly progress. I highly recommend it to everyone. Come and learn new skills, celebrate a happy life.
Kamila FI’m currently taking Cuban Salsa classes with Jerry and Esther, and I’m loving it so far. Esther and Jerry are lovely people. Not having to bring your own partner is a huge win for me since my partner isn’t into dancing, so I get to enjoy what I love.
Maverick KeithI'm having a wonderful time here learning Cuban Salsa. Teacher's are very informative and friendly five stars all the way 😁
Nicki MaherJerry and Esther are fun and inspiring teachers, and I have definitely caught the Cuban salsa bug! Lessons at Afrodesia salsa are a great way to spend a Thursday evening. Highly recommended!
SunlitkarinaEach class is so much fun! Jerry and Esther are such great teachers, they explain each move very thoroughly and you learn a new routine every lesson with lots of opportunities to practice. You become part of the salsa community very quickly with different social events and masterclasses. I look forward to the class every week.
Afa AhuaJerry and Esther are lovely and patient teachers. classes are great value for money! I recommend.
Emma Gilpin JacobsAbsolutely loved these classes. Esther and Jerry are brilliant teachers who bring a relaxed, fun vibe to the classes and make the whole experience so enjoyable and easy.
Ted AllpressI’ve been to a fair few salsa classes/schools around the country and this place is without doubt the best. Their approach to learning salsa is unique and I learnt so much faster than anywhere I’ve been before. The classes are fun & the teachers are top drawer. Can’t wait for the next level😁
Paco FritzenBest place to learn Cuban Salsa, switch off from work, meet great people and have loads of fun, particularly with La Rueda! Can't recommend it enough!
David McShane"Jerry & Esther are excellent! Their patient, focused and fun teaching makes every class enjoyable. Great for introductory or more advanced salsa, and very good at keeping equal numbers of ladies and gentlemen (as far as possible) too. I’ve had a lovely experience learning with them!" I wrote those words four years ago and they are just as true today! Now that I am in a position to devote time to Cuban Salsa again, it was an easy decision to come back to Jerry and Esther's class! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to find their inner dancer!
