Four Viennese schools in detail
In November 2026 we read the websites of several schools. This is what they say, as stated. Dates change every term, so please confirm them with the school.
Salsa Vienna (Wallgasse, 1060 Vienna)
- According to its website the courses currently take place at “Günter” (restaurant, bar & more) in Wallgasse in the 6th district.
- Bachata is offered at three levels: Bachata 1 without experience, Bachata 2 with experience and Bachata 3, which builds on both. Listed are Bachata 1 on Tuesday 19:30–20:30 and Bachata 2 on Tuesday 20:30–21:30 (start 3 November 2026).
- A Bachata course is four evenings of 60 minutes, once a week on the same weekday. The price: €60 per person, €48 with a valid student ID. Private lessons are available on request.
- The page does not say whether a partner is needed for the Bachata courses. “Salsa Cali Paartanz” is a couples course, “Salsa Cali Footwork” is danced solo.
Lento Dance Studio (Traungasse 14, 1030 Vienna)
- The website lists salsa, Bachata (Sensual and Traditional), heels and kizomba and says “all levels welcome (Beginner to Advanced)” and “no dance partner required”.
- Beginner classes are listed every day at 18:00. The page mixes older and newer posts, though, so it is worth asking by email ([email protected]).
- You pay per class or with a 30-day pass. The page gives no Bachata prices; for kizomba it says €12 per hour, €8 for students and €49 for 30 days.
- On Wednesdays there is a social from 21:00 to 24:00 at the Lento Party Hall (Zaunergasse 4). Entry is €7 and included in the monthly pass.
SalsaHouse (Märzstraße 105, 1150 Vienna)
- Besides Bachata, SalsaHouse teaches salsa, Rueda de Casino, kizomba and Son Moderno. According to its website beginners start in “Basic 1” courses, which are repeated regularly.
- The further levels are Improver, Intermediate, Advanced and Perfecting. The school settles the right level in a personal conversation. The page does not name separate Bachata levels.
- The weekly timetable is an image and the prices are on a separate page, so we cannot quote times or amounts here.
Tumbao Dance Studio (Margaretenstraße 26, 1040 Vienna)
- Listed are Bachata Dominicana, Bachata Sensual and Bachata Lady Styling, plus many other styles. The courses are for “beginners to pros”, according to the website.
- Class packs (10 and 50 classes) can be bought online; the home page gives no prices. The timetable is at tumbao.at/Tanzkurse, and the studio lists Monday to Friday 17:00–21:00 as opening hours.
Prices and trial class: what is published
After reading the sites, what stands out most is what is missing. This is what we found:
- Salsa Vienna: €60 for four Bachata evenings (€48 with a student ID), which is €15 per evening (€12 with a student ID).
- Lento Dance Studio: single class or 30-day pass, Bachata prices not stated; social €7.
- Tumbao: 10 and 50-class packs, no amounts on the home page.
- SalsaHouse: prices on a separate page.
None of the four pages we read mentions a trial class. So ask before you buy a pack: is there a trial class, and is it credited?
Which level fits if you start from zero?
Pick the beginner class even if you already know another dance. At Salsa Vienna that is Bachata 1, at SalsaHouse “Basic 1”, at Lento Dance the daily beginner classes. The basic step is explained on Bachata basic step, and Bachata for beginners gives a general introduction.
You do not need a partner in most group classes because partners rotate. Lento Dance says so explicitly. Which style suits you is explained on Bachata Sensual and Bachata Dominicana; general tips on choosing a class are at Bachata dance course.
What to ask before you sign up
- Which level? Ask whether there are separate Bachata levels or mixed groups. Salsa Vienna separates Bachata 1 to 3, SalsaHouse does not name separate Bachata levels.
- How many evenings? A course at Salsa Vienna has four evenings; for class packs (Tumbao) what matters is how long the card is valid.
- Where exactly? Salsa Vienna changes its venue, other schools have several rooms. Check the address and district before the first evening.
- A social afterwards? Lento Dance holds a social on Wednesdays. What such an evening is like is explained at Bachata party and Bachata socials.
How we prepared this page
In November 2026 we read the websites of Salsa Vienna, Lento Dance Studio, SalsaHouse and Tumbao Dance Studio, and we use the Google ratings from our October 2026 list. The other 7 Viennese schools are linked on the city page; we did not evaluate their offers here. Prices and dates change, so please check them with the school. The page is independent: places cannot be bought.
