What Is a Havana Salsa Franchise?

A local lifestyle business built around dance, community and authentic Cuban culture.

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.

Who Is This For

Is a Havana Salsa Franchise Right for You?

You don’t need to be a celebrity dancer - you need drive, people skills and a love of Latin music.

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.

You Might Be a Good Fit If…

You enjoy leading groups and making people feel welcome.
You want to build a local community, not just run a one-off event.
You’re comfortable working evenings and some weekends.
You’re willing to follow a proven system and brand, not reinvent everything from scratch.
You’re prepared to invest time in your own development as a dancer, teacher or business owner.

You Don’t Need…

You don’t need to be a fully-qualified salsa teacher from day one – we’ll train you in the Havana Salsa teaching system.
You don’t need a marketing degree – we give you templates, guidance and support.
You don’t need a huge studio – many venues are hired community spaces, bars or function rooms.
