Salsa & Hiking in Jakarta



Hi there!

It's a fab blog you have here ladies. It will be great if you could help me out with a few things:
1. Dance classes (near S. Jakarta if possible)- I'm interested in Salsa
2. Theatre Clubs/Groups
3. Any adventure sports clubs (Trekking, Cycling) which organise 1/2 day activities.

Thanks heaps!

Hi Arathi,

I can help with dance classes. Salsa has quite a big following here.

Two instructors you'll come across are Luisa and Elkin who teach classes at amigos Kemang on Tuesdays and Fridays approx. 630pm. They also do classes at ritz-carlton mega kuningan on Thursday nights in lounge bar at mistere from 630pm. Anza in kemang does a Monday morning class 1030am with instructor helmi.

Plus there are many instructors that do private lessons either at your home or at a salsa night. You can almost find a club having a salsa night any night of the week in Jakarta.

Theatre group try Jakarta Players http://thejakartaplayers.blogspot.com/

I’m not really big into adventure sports but for trekking try ID Guides www.idguides.org/programmes-easy-escape-jakarta.html
