In search of Salsa Lessons in Manila or Makati Philippines?

I live in Makati area and I watched "Dance With Me" at HBO. My friends told me that the dance Vanesa Williams and Chayenne did was salsa. I think it was fun. I wish to learn how to dance like that. Any info where I can learn salsa. I am quite tight in my budget. I heard there are free lessons in town, but I do not know where to go. Kindly advise me.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi. My name is Ares. I am from Manila, Philippines. I am also the leader of Grupo Filipino Salsa. My group offers affordable salsa workshops. Our lessons are almost free. But we believe that you have to invest something of yourself to give real value to what is so valuable to us... the dance. But if you are really hard up on money, just get in touch with us.

For free promotional salsa lessons, we usually do it at E's Bar at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel whenever Clave Band performs.

We hold regular salsa workshops at the Asian Social Institute (ASI) at 1518 L. Guinto St., Malate, Manila every saturday. Beginner's workshop starts at 6 pm and Intermediate workshops starts at 7:00 pm.

We are also opening a new class in the Quezon City area. We have scheduled one for February 23.

Our salsa course has a dance curriculum consisting of 5 modules from beginners to intermediates. This comprises 20 sessions and will take five months to finish. After you finish the course, all advance workshops are free for life, as long as the group exist.

Grupo Filipino Salsa is committed to share our passion to dance salsa. After our workshops every saturday, we party at ASI from 8-10 pm. In this party, we continue to teach advance steps free of charge. Sometimes, we even teach our graduates other latin dances such as perreo (danced with reggaeton and coolie dance), cha-cha-cha, hip hop, merengue and bachata.
