What dancers say
"As a Mexican, I always grew up dancing cumbia and picking up the odd little step here and there, but learning linear (on-1) salsa was completely new to me. Since I started taking classes with Paul, bit by bit I picked up the rhythm, learned more steps, and gained so much confidence. Today I absolutely love dancing salsa and I feel much more secure on the dance floor. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn from zero, improve, and have a great time at the same time! 💃✨"
"I have been going to Paul's salsa lessons at La Tuna for a couple of years. It's an awesome way to get an introduction to salsa. But I really have not been consistent enough to learn. So, now I'm taking his 4-day beginner and intermediate classes. That has really gotten me to a place where now I feel like I can participate on the dance floor. Both the Tuesday night lessons at La Tuna and the lessons at Casa Fuego Dance Studio have given me the confidence to stick my hand out and ask a lady to get on the dance floor with me. I appreciate what Paul is doing so much. Thanks Paul!"
"My recent experience in Paul's 4-day beginners Salsa bootcamp was great! In the past I have taken other courses that left me more confused than confident. Paul had a very clear way of breaking down the step patterns into easily digestible sets that built on each other. From a basic foundational step, adding in turns and overhead arm and hand spins in just 5 hours of classes, I feel that I now have a very good basic knowledge of the dance!!!"
Meet Salsa Paul
Around La Ventana, the town knows him as Salsa Paul — but the story goes back to 2017. Paul had just picked up kiteboarding on the Spit in Squamish, British Columbia, and every kiter there was raving about one little town in Mexico. He flew down on a whim — and La Ventana sank its hooks in on day one. The one thing missing was salsa. For a while Paul was driving all the way to La Paz and Los Barriles just to dance, until one day he decided to stop making the trip and bring salsa to La Ventana himself. That's how Casa Fuego Dance Studio got started in El Sargento — an open-air dance floor under the Baja sky, surrounded by cacti and fruit trees.
Not long after, Paul started teaching weekly at La Tuna — now the beating heart of Latin dance in La Ventana, where up to 150 guests fill the beach stage every Tuesday night and 20 to 40 dancers take the floor. He also hosts special events at Playa Central, Casa Tara, and ChiloChil. Today, BCS Latin Dance is group classes, bootcamps, private lessons, and Tuesdays at La Tuna — a community that wasn't here before, built one dance at a time.
