What others are saying...
Cuba was the best experience I have ever had in my entire life. I love to dance but dancing is so much more in Cuba, it’s so passionate and loving, exciting and raw. I learned to dance but I learned so much more than that. There is a love in life that is only found in Cuba. From dance lessons in the morning to relaxing pool afternoons and social dancing at night, it was all perfect.

This trip is MAGICAL!
A week long adventure in beautiful Havana, filled with dance, laughter, new adventure, great food, and beautiful friendships.
The trip is extremely well organized, with so many great outings.
I look forward every morning to getting up and having breakfast with my friends, then going to dance class where we are greeted with open arms by our wonderful Cuban partners. The classes are exhilarating, and designed for every level! Highlights of the trip for me included a fun beach day, an evening of rooftop dancing under the stars, beautiful restaurants and exploring the beauty of Havana.

The Havana Salsa Dance Retreat is a well-crafted Cuban dance experience that fosters a sense of community between Cubans and Canadians. Kim’s vision to collaborate with Cuban dance instructors and support staff brings authenticity to this cultural experience while financially supporting the Cuban economy. Kim’s many years of directing this program has honed her expertise in networking in Havana and providing us with great venues and the best Cuban food. She is quick to respond to everyone’s needs while still keeping us on schedule. Her patience, kindness and ability to build anticipation for various events adds sparkle and fun within our Cuban/Canadian family. She truly understands that it’s not just about learning to dance (and wow did I ever learn a lot) with some Cuban flair, it’s about building relationships with the Cubans and each other to further enhance the dance community.

💃 Meet Your Host
Hi, I’m Kimberly — and I fell in love with Cuban music back in 2003… and I haven’t stopped shakin’ my hips since! Over the years, I’ve traveled, danced, and connected deeply with Cuban communities that welcomed me with open arms (and rhythm-filled hearts).
In 2016, I launched this dance excursion from that love — a passion project turned soulful mission.
What lights me up? Creating unforgettable, safe, and heart-opening experiences for dancers of all levels.
My mission is simple: To share the real Cuba — the joy, the movement, the magic — with you.
