If you are interested in themed events, then cool parties, master classes, creative evenings and reports are regularly held here. Periodically there are photos and videos. Judging by the reviews, the atmosphere is great, the choreographers are focused on beginners. However, there are also disadvantages - some complain that the dance rooms are small and the locker rooms are cramped, which is why it is not always comfortable to be there and there.

"Casa Latina" is one of the oldest dance schools in St. Petersburg, which regularly recruits groups for beginners.

Many clients call this school the best for children, and comparing it with other institutions, we are convinced that everything is really organized at the highest level. For example, there is a children's area in the spacious waiting rooms, and there is a live broadcast of training sessions for parents. Plus, each child receives a dancer's diary as a gift. I am also glad that the staff monitors cleanliness even after each lesson, that is, every hour the premises are cleaned, which no other center in the rating can boast of. If we talk about the shortcomings, then customers warn that the halls are quite small, and there are a lot of people, which is not always comfortable.

Unfortunately, there are no lockers, so you will have to take valuables with you. For many, a significant advantage was the presence of its own parking, which not every institution can boast of. The teachers and staff of the studio are always attentive and friendly: they will help, prompt and tell you what's what. Judging by the reviews, the company used to have problems with the service, but in recent years they have seriously upgraded and the service has reached a new level.
