ARMADA

What do you like most about our salsa classes?‍What I like most about the classes is the atmosphere. Many different people with a shared passion for salsa, where the emphasis is on fun and developing yourself as a dancer and as a person.‍‍‍How has dancing salsa at Armada influenced your life?‍Well, where do I start? ;) Let me begin by saying that I dance much more than ever before. I am more aware of my body and what it can do, but also where there is still room for improvement. It’s great to be part of a lively community and to conquer the salsa world together ;) #armadaarmy‍‍

‍What is your favorite memory of the Armada Movement?‍When motivator Arsalan follows you on the dance floor and encourages you as a coach/supporter, and when you nail the move/break, he cheers for you as if you’ve scored the winning goal in the Champions League :)

"What do I like most about the salsa lessons?‍The cozy, small groups and the teachers who have enough time for us (students). And the small details that matter, small, small, small details. GREAT, KEEP IT UP.‍How has salsa influenced my life?‍I still can’t speak Spanish and don’t understand any song! But I appreciate the music much more now.‍‍

My favorite memoriesThere are so many:‍the first few lessons in Odessa, the Manhattan parties, dancing after the lessons, the people.Quote: Coincidence is logical"

"What makes Armada special for me is not only the quality of the lessons but also the sense of community and the personal attention you receive. Regular parties are organized, with the latest edition of Dale Mambo being an unforgettable evening that further strengthened my passion for salsa.

I am proud to have witnessed the founding and growth of Armada from the first year and hope to create many more beautiful memories!"

“It’s not just about the steps, it’s about feeling the music in your body and sharing the energy with others.”‍‍‍Arsalan is the ultimate leader (both literally and figuratively) of all his students. He has boundless energy and an even greater enthusiasm that infects and carries everyone along. His Armada Movement is the best!!

"The classes strike the perfect balance between improving technique and embracing individuality in style."‍"I appreciate how Armada team explains the structure of the music, making it easier to connect my movements to the rhythm."‍"The friendly and organized atmosphere keeps me motivated; we are updated about all the exciting dance events in Amsterdam!"

"For me, Armada is way more than a regular dancing school. Armada for me means family. Armada is connection. Armada is a safe haven.‍

‍What I really like about the teachers, Arsalan and Natasja, is that they always go for the extra mile. They take the time to teach you something and not only in class, also on the dancefloor during a social or where ever you are at which moment.‍‍‍

‍They don't "wait" for class. They're really active in the WhatsApp-group, open for questions allday everyday and always in for a joke! They're só connected with their "students" that it doesn't feel like a teacher-student-connection.

Dancing át and wíth Armada has changed my life as I feel more confident, but also "strong" seeiing your teachers at the same social as you and dancing with you even though you're still a beginner or an advanced dancer.I have tons of great memories of Armada, but for me the energetic lessons I cherish the most. The endless energy from Arsalan it's so contagious.‍

‍And you can't "trust" him.  When he says: "one more song!". You know you'll get ten more! This guy is a machine!"
