I live in Makati area and I watched "Dance With Me" at HBO. My friends told me that the dance Vanesa Williams and Chayenne did was salsa. I think it was fun. I wish to learn how to dance like that. Any info where I can learn salsa. I am quite tight in my budget. I heard there are free lessons in town, but I do not know where to go. Kindly advise me.

Hi. My name is Ares. I am from Manila, Philippines. I am also the leader of Grupo Filipino Salsa. My group offers affordable salsa workshops. Our lessons are almost free. But we believe that you have to invest something of yourself to give real value to what is so valuable to us... the dance. But if you are really hard up on money, just get in touch with us.
For free promotional salsa lessons, we usually do it at E's Bar at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel whenever Clave Band performs.
We hold regular salsa workshops at the Asian Social Institute (ASI) at 1518 L. Guinto St., Malate, Manila every saturday. Beginner's workshop starts at 6 pm and Intermediate workshops starts at 7:00 pm.
We are also opening a new class in the Quezon City area. We have scheduled one for February 23.
Our salsa course has a dance curriculum consisting of 5 modules from beginners to intermediates. This comprises 20 sessions and will take five months to finish. After you finish the course, all advance workshops are free for life, as long as the group exist.
Grupo Filipino Salsa is committed to share our passion to dance salsa. After our workshops every saturday, we party at ASI from 8-10 pm. In this party, we continue to teach advance steps free of charge. Sometimes, we even teach our graduates other latin dances such as perreo (danced with reggaeton and coolie dance), cha-cha-cha, hip hop, merengue and bachata. For more information, you may get in touch with me at 09064585725

I got invited to a free salsa lessons about a couple of years ago at Cafe Maestro just across the Church of St. Andrew in Bel Air. I am not sure if they still hold salsa lessons.
Also, I find people dancing Salsa at Mezze in Greenbelt. There was guy trying to invite us and said that they are teaching basic salsa for free.
Go to Cafe Havana in Greenbelt and there is a group that seems to be conducting a basic salsa lessons. Why not inquire at these bars.

Try Grupo Filipino Salsa's dance classes. They have free salsa workshops. I attended one time at Ciboney. Look for Ares and Ernest. Sometimes, these frequent Ciboney and Cafe Havana. The group dances not only Salsa, but also Cha-cha and Hip Hop.
Fate of Clave Band also gives free basic salsa at E's Bar. I know that sometimes Grupo Filipino Salsa also provide them assistance in her free salsa lessons.
