Group salsa dance class at Baila District

About Us


In October 2019, four friends—Benny, Ashley, Lucy, and Slava—embarked on their first dance project together, setting in motion the realization of their dream to establish a dance studio. United by a remarkable synergy discovered during collaborative projects, they decided to transform their shared passion into a long-term venture: Baila District.

Dedicated to fostering equality and quality within a welcoming community, Baila District goes beyond the conventional studio concept. It stands as a space where everyone is encouraged to embrace the joy of dance. Our studio is committed to expanding the dance community, serving as a haven where individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels can freely express themselves.

Quality is at the forefront of our mission. Driven by a commitment to pushing the boundaries of dance, Baila District actively invites talents from all over the world to contribute to the enrichment of our dance culture.

Equality is a cornerstone of our values. Beyond fostering creativity, Baila District is unwaveringly dedicated to creating equal opportunities for everyone to dance. Through scholarships, work-trade programs, and various initiatives, we strive to ensure that anyone with an interest in dancing can actively participate in our community. Join us at Baila District, where dance knows no boundaries, and every individual has the opportunity to express themselves through the transformative power of movement.
