Learn Spanish during the day and dance at night. At Vida Verde, we have partnered with Ache, a professional dance studio. The professors at Ache teach various dance styles, but most students prefer to take salsa because it is so traditional to Latin America. Best of all, Ache is located in the same building as Vida Verde! After just one week of classes, you´ll be ready to try your skills at one of the local Salsotecas.
Schedule
Spanish classes will take place in the morning, from 8:30 am until 12:30 pm. Students have the option to add cultural classes during the afternoon, and plan their dance lessons in the evening. Ache is open from 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
After spending three weeks directly at the school, I now do the online course at Vida Verde. And I can really say, this online course is a great replacement for being directly at the school. Actually, it's even better. Because using the computer provides a lot more possibilities and flexibility. For instance: If you don't know the meaning of a word, the teacher can quickly use ``Google`` to find it and show you a picture. Video and Audio quality are really good, so for me it's not a bit harder to understand, what the teachers says than before directly at the school. Exercises and homework are exchanged within a minute and if I have to write something, I can type, instead of writing by hand, which I really appreciate. Since I did the online course I even stopped traveling to Spanish language schools.
