Havana Estudio is known for our quality, some of the best dance programs for social dancing and street style dance (Salsa / Bachata / Rueda de Casino). Established by Sherrie Dekorte on 18th April 1998, we’ve had many pioneering dance programs and haved shared our passion for dancing with many students, some of whom who are still enjoying a lifetime of dancing today.
When we re-opened in Sep ’21 we also were blessed to also have guest instructors include in our class roster – Yoga Wellness program with Monika from Naturosuisse Consult and the incredible team of Lindy Hop instructors with Iylia, Bobo, Danny, Jenn, and so many others from KL Swing. Together with Sam, Aisha, and Priscilla, we hope you enjoy your dance journey with us!
