There’s no better way to connect with Cartagena’s soul than through its music and dance — and at Crazy Salsa, we’ve been sharing that connection with the world since 2009.
Here, you’ll do more than learn steps — you’ll dive into the heart of our culture. Through salsa and champeta, you’ll feel the joy, rhythm, and spirit that define life in this Caribbean city.
Champeta, born right here in Cartagena, is a vibrant, high-energy Afro-Caribbean dance deeply rooted in our African heritage. It’s an expression of resilience, freedom, and celebration — full of movement, happiness, and that laid-back coastal vibe that makes dancing feel like pure joy.
This experience isn’t just about movement — it’s about understanding a culture from the inside out. Whether you're dancing for the first time or sharpening your skills, you’ll connect with locals, share in our joy, and leave with unforgettable memories.
Don’t just visit Cartagena — dance it, feel it, live it.
