Try a class and you would know why Salsa classes with Lourd are sought-after.
Salsa means sauce in Spanish and in this case the sauce can be hot and spicy! As with many dances, the creation of the dance followed the creation of the music. Salsa is far less formal and is open to innovation. It is considered a true dance of the people: changing and adapting across different cultures and landscapes.
It is played by artists in countries from France to Japan, paired up with music styles from pop to jazz, and can range from being energetic and explosive to intimate and romantic. It has become a world-wide phenomenon because it is so malleable, and the music… wow, the music…

For my fellow Bengalurians, if you love to dance, you can’t have a better instructor than Lourd. Have been his student of his for more than a decade and have enjoyed every class of his. He makes learning simple & interesting. I personally feel privileged to Learn from a World Class Instructor. I have spent 21 years in the Indian Navy as Commander and presently head production of Aircraft Engines at Engine Division, HAL. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Master’s in Marine Engineering and MBA from Jamanlal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies.
I've been learning salsa at LVDS for over three months now, jive and bachata for not so long, and it's been a fantastic experience. Lourd is naturally a fun guy and that comes through in his classes too. They organize a weekly social on Fridays where all us students can go break a leg and practice our moves. Our group is a nice fun bunch and Lourd is patient with us, which makes dancing even more fun that it already is. Rest assured, it is a brilliant way to spend weekend evenings
I have always wanted to learn salsa and joining LVDS has be a very good decision that I made last year and am glad that Lourd is my teacher. From no experience he has taken me in a structured but hugely fun way to a point where I enjoy dancing Salsa socially but always want to improve what I do. Put simply he not only made me addictive to Salsa but Swing and Jive. The class mix allows you to hone your skill with different age groups and be more adaptable. I also love the classes because they cover the techniques and fundamentals of dancing salsa to help improve understanding of music and the quality of your salsa, swing and jive dancing. I definitely look forward to my socials along with my weekend classes. I would definitely recommend this as a must do! #LearnAndGoDancing #letsSwing #Salsa@LVDS
Salsa, Bachata, Jive, Swing and any dance form, LVDS is the place to be in. My association with LVDS started in 2017 learning Salsa. What makes LVDS unique is the personal interest Lourd takes to ensure that you bring out the best in you. It makes a significant difference when the classes are taken by the Master himself. When in LVDS, you are not learning, you are following your passion. Profile: My name is Peter Harrison, a manager by profession. A reader, Speaker, dancer and Guitarist by aspiration. I believe, even in the midst of my life span there is lot to learn and challenge myself day after day to break out of my comfort zone.
