A Havana Salsa franchise gives you the rights and support to run our structured Cuban salsa classes, social parties and events in your own territory.
You’ll be part of an established UK-wide brand with classes running almost every night of the week in city-centre venues, led by trained instructors and backed by a complete teaching and marketing system.
You’re not starting from scratch. You’re plugging into a brand and system that’s already working across the UK.
Our franchisees come from different backgrounds: dance teachers, fitness professionals, entrepreneurs, venue owners and people who just love salsa and want a change in lifestyle. What they have in common is energy, commitment and a genuine interest in people.
