Salsa is one of the world's most popular social dances — energetic, musical, and deeply connected to Latin American culture and rhythm. Whether you're drawn to the New York On2 style (Mambo), LA On1, or Cuban salsa, Melbourne has a vibrant scene with classes and socials throughout the week.
Salsa classes on the Evomove network are taught by experienced, passionate instructors who make beginners feel welcome from the first step. You'll learn timing, body movement, partner connection, and the musicality that makes salsa come alive.
Evomove connects you to Melbourne's best independent salsa operators — all on one weekly membership. No partner needed to start.
Viva La Salsa
Viva La Salsa is home to world-renowned salsa artists, instructors, and World Champions Almendra and Richie — based in Melbourne and internationally recognised for their unique, groovy approach to Mambo.
With more than 30 years of combined experience across a variety of Latin dance styles, Almendra and Richie teach On2 Salsa (New York-style Mambo) at I.AM.DANCE in Fitzroy. Classes run Monday and Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, and are open to complete beginners and returning dancers alike.
On2 Salsa is the style danced in New York's legendary mambo scene — smooth, musical, and deeply connected to the rhythm of the conga drum. It's a partner dance built on timing, body movement, and musicality. The Viva La Salsa approach is warm, encouraging, and technically precise — you'll learn to dance with confidence and genuine connection from your first class.
Viva La Salsa is part of the Evomove network. One weekly membership gives you unlimited access to every Viva La Salsa class and every other session on the network — tango, blues, West Coast Swing, yoga, contemporary, and more.

VLS is the best mambo dance school in Melbourne! I feel privileged to have Almendra and Richie here!! I have learnt so much, and continue to grow in my mambo journey. Not only are the classes fun, but also have met so many wonderful people along the way.

Almendra and Ritchie are some of the most talented Mambo dancers in the world, and we are so lucky to have them here in Australia. Class is always inclusive, positive and encouraging, and my technique has improved so much since starting with VLS! If you want to try Mambo in Melbourne, VLS is the place to go!

My favourite salsa classes in Melbourne. Almendra y Richie are world class, while at the same time extremely charismatic, passionate and are one of the few instructors in Australia that actually teach people how to DANCE and not just learn steps and moves.
