Group classes were extremely fun and very sociable, its a great way to meet people. I had such an amazing experience of learning to dance salsa at this school and still going!

I would like to express my gratitude for your work, professionalism and the achieved results of work. Your creativity leaves no one indifferent.

This is a wonderful dance academy! All the instructors are amazing and help you understand every aspect of the dance style you wish to learn.

Smile n Salsa...great place to learn, its fun. Everyone is supportive to make sure we all keep up the pace to learn and improve.

Amazing place! Top communication and professional training. Highly recommended

I have absolutely LOVE going to beginners hip hop on a Sunday evening. The overwhelming positivity and support from our incredible teacher Gemma and all of the other students is amazing. I never thought that at 29 I’d be using the word ‘vibes’, but honestly, there is no better word to describe the class. The music is great and everyone is just there to try their best and have fun. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Honesty, I am very lucky that i found this dance studio 🤍Professional instructors, very easy approach. Rick and his intire team are doing great job.keep ot up guys 👍🏻🚀

I did not expect to actually be able to pick up on salsa on my first class. Being an absolute beginner I found it incredibly easy with the way Ric taught dance. Ric is an amazing instructor and Georgina made it super easy to learn. They both are patient and encouraging.I loved the atmosphere, very friendly, very welcoming. I am glad my friend recommended me to come here.Keep up with the great work Ric. Cheers.

I visit Ric Banks for Zumba classes and love it. Hala- the Instructor is superb. Everyone enjoys dancing at her choreography. Ric banks are very professional. Its been more than a year now I am going for Zumba classes.

My favorite place, Ric and his team are just beyond amazing. Highly recommend!

I really love their salsa class! Our instructor Shahid is fun, dedicated, and passionate about salsa, making everybody in the class feel comfortable. There is very positive vibe in every class, and I noticed today that all of us students were smiling and laughing. Its so different than other salsa classes I have visited. Their staff are also very friendly and helpful. There are RTA parking right in front of the building. Everyone who is reading this should come and try their class. The first class is free!

I highly recommend that academy, professional in work ,a lots of fun ,amazing eventsWish you bro all the best

Amazing dance school , great value for money , amazing vibes , feels like a family , very friendly and professional dedicated teachers

The whole team is just awesome the RIC Banks Dance, very professional, friendly and amazingly accommodating everyones need, thank you all, Anais had fun with with all the classes.

Fantastic experience! Shaahid is an awesome instructor with great energy and no matter what level you are starting at he makes you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend :)!

Great academy to learn salsa and bachata. They guide you from zero knowledge all the way to becoming an expert dancer! Teachers, especially Ric are very professional, they are patient and give you constructive feedback along the way. Fully recommended!

It is a place where it is good to meet.The teachers and the team do a great job

I attended an open day with Ric and had to say I was truly in love with everything. Starting with the quality of class, the knowledge acquired and the ambience created by the instructor. I am wishing all the team happy new 2021 and a lot of students enjoying the passion of those teaching there :)

The one and only place in Dubai where you can learn the best of salsa, bachata and kizomba!Ric is an amazing teacher, with a huge amount of patience for his students who always knows how to bring the positivity in the room!Shahid is also a great master of the moves and the technique and honestly, I’m looking forward to each of my classes with him!Thank you guys for always pushing me forward and teaching me how to shake the bum bum!

Tried a different salsa studio before this one and thought Salsa was really hard yo learn. Ric made it easy and the atmosphere in the classes are great. Strongly recommend.

I love the vibe of this school, everyone is super friendly and genuine which makes a perfect learning environment. Ric knows how to get his students from from level 0 to social dancers in a very short space of time and I thoroughly enjoy dancing with them all!!!

Great teachers, an amazing atmosphere and lots of fun for a good price ;)

Ive tried one of the open day session last Sunday and it was amazing experience dancing some basic salsa and bachata. Definitely will come back for another session. Highly recommended for a dance lesson.

Best dance school in Dubai for Salsa & Bachata. Good value for money. More of a small dance community, rather than just a place to go to learn some new dance moves.

If you like some moves with your partner, this is the place to be. I tried their free masterclass for Salsa and Bachata and believe me it was fun and graceful experience. You should totally try it.

Went for my very first class yesterday and enjoyed it so much! The open day class was for free which is amazing! Such good vibes and learned basic steps already 😊 Definitely will attend beginners classes!

I visited the studio once, and the energy level is superb! I am so excited to learn salsa next week and improve my dance skills. 😍

I have danced for the last 18 years of my life and when I moved to Dubai in 2015 I was searching for a new dancing family to join! I was so pleased I found Ric and his classes and social evenings. His positive energy and welcoming personality to anyone interested in dancing is so addictive to be around. Ric you are an amazing teacher and always recommended your classes and social evenings. Going to miss you my brother! So much love, Renee. (Now in NZ)

I absolutely love it here! I have never been much of a dancer, but in a couple of classes I am completely hooked! Everyone is so accommodating and helpful.. Its like a family of fun lovers! Instructors make sure you get the steps right, and are so extremely patient. Couldn’t have asked for more! I feel right at home!♥️♥️

It’s definitely by far the dance school Dubai for me.Great vibes, good people and amazing dance teachers.

The BEST salsa school in the UAE, very professional , I didn’t expect to be a salsero in my life, for me it was so hard but because of Mr. Ric salsa became my passion and this school become my second home.The way they teach makes salsa so easy to lean with much funNice community, nice atmosphere, people from all around the world, different languages, different cultures, different backgrounds but in this school we speak the same languageWe speak SALSA!

The best dancing school in Dubai ..highly recommended

Amazing people at Ric Banks , love the ambience and cant wait to start my beginners salsa lessons!

Probably the best dance academy in Dubai! They offer the best value for money and their instructors are very friendly, charismatic and professional and they cater to all levels! The dance school also organizes really fun social nights for students to improve their dancing and develop meaningful friendships with one another.All in all, my experience at Ric Banks Dance Academy has been nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone whos ever been interesting in dance!

Great experience.. fun atmosphere.. no stress... Ric is a great teacher.. keeps things light n smooth..

Love this place and love these people!The best Salsa Family in Dubai!!After an injury I struggled to go back to be good in salsa and then I found this school: in a snap of fingers Ric and the guys at the school took me back where I wanted to be in order to continue to dance salsa better than ever before! At RBDA awesomeness is always in the air!! 🤩🤩🤩

It says that dancers don’t need “wings to fly”, but definitely learning and developing your skills surrounded by professionals and experimented trainers in the styles that trigger your curiosity to give it a try has a very big impact on the overall experience. I had awesome fun time in the process and highly recommend the classes available at Ric Banks Dance Academy. Beautiful friendly atmosphere ! Always a pleasure to upgrade dance moves and improve. It’s a never ending journey of discovering new things and challenge your limits. That’s fantastic! Love it!💓💃🏼🕺💗

The place is good for private practice and they are giving discount if you use the studio more than an hour. Staff is simply very efficient and always ask us if we need something. They will organize everything as your schedule so I really recommend their dance school.

My absolute favourite place to be with amazing dance teachers and students! So happy to be part of the Ric Banks Family! ... also never thought I’d be able to dance so thank you Team Ric Banks!

I am a student in this studio for almost one year and I love it so much. Great classes, amazing teachers, nice staff. The atmosphere is so friendly and I can definitely feel like I find my happy place here at Ric Banks Dance Academy.Its always a pleasure to go for my classes and I am always leaving with such a good energy.I highly recommend this dance school for all of their classes (salsa, bachata, kizomba ) ! ❤️

Ricbanks Studio is a Lifestyle brings you Happiness! Welcome!Im a one of the Student! And Hope to see you soon! 🤗💃🕺😁

Popped by the first time yesterday and I can say its one of the most fun dance classes Ive ever attended. Ric was incredibly fun (and funny!) thus my usual awkwardness with dancing was not a problem that night. Not only he taught us how to dance but also explained some theoretical stuff making dancing easier to grasp. Super!

Ric has been my teacher for almost 5 years. He’s a great guy and loves dancing. His classes are fun but also fast paced and you find yourself progressing really quickly! He makes the most out of the community as well and brings everyone together. I would high recommend his academy if you are looking to start a new hobby or a new way of life!

After my previous experience in other dance studios I found this place very friendly and relaxed. I love the fact that it’s a group class where everyone learns together which is always a good fun. And although it is a group class Ric is very observant of his students and is able to correct any mistakes.Love this place and always look forward to my class! Top score from me👌🏼

Dancing 💃 is funEnjoyed free class and decided to be part this amazing academy

Love this place and atmosphere there like you have known these people for ages.A really professional level of classes and personalised approach- doesnt matter you just joined or you are already in advanced group.

Rik Bank Academy the best latin dancing school in the emirates. I joined Rik Banks few months ago and feel as Salsa is a part of my life. Classes are light hearted and fun but ran at a professional level. Rik is an amazing dancer and fantastic teacher. I have been taught step by step to dance with grace and style as pro. Thank you very much Rik and your team.

Great quality and value for money dance classes. Its great place to learn dancing and also to meet awesome people. They even upgrade your class level based on your current skills. Its worth every penny :)

Great experience, thank you for the dance.

Im really happy to be part of this family. I am learning bachata and I’m enjoying it a lot 🤩

Ric Banks Dance Academy is the top best dancing school in Dubai. I like the teaching quality as well as the care and support inside and outside the studio. They definitely make you love and enjoy the social dancing. You feel like you belong to a family. Highly recommended..

Had so much fun while learning the basics of bachata from Ric Banks.Thank you for inviting me to the beginners bachata & kzumba class, @ricbanks.d.a ! 🥰

I have attended their open class yesterday and it made my endorphins up and running. The class was very lively and the coaches are very professional. After the trial, i decided to book the salsa class and will definitely pull up my sleeves to bring positive result.😉

One of the most amazing place to go.If you wanna learn DANCING, live DANCING & Love IT, this is your destination.Friendly atmosphere & great instructor ...

Amazing atmosphere, great peoples and awesome dance Teachers. Ric and his team goes above and beyond to teach us the moves, skills, techniques while always maintaining a good form.

Good vibes and amazing class

Professionalism, amazing ambiance and the most important factor: methodology means you will learn how to dance in short time !I attend to Ric Academy since 2 months only enjoying every singel classes, the group ones and specially privet classes that help you to Develope faster of course but both methods are very efficient in academy. Sempre Salsa 💕best Gregory Grytchenko @greggrytchenko

Great dance studio, and after the classes they often organise salsa events around town which are the best. You really get to put the practice to work and improve even more. The classes are so much fun and really take you to the next level.

Ric was a fun and enthusiastic dance teacher. He made his class enjoyable and interesting. Would love to go bank again!

An awesome place where Ric and his team can show you the arts of Latino dancing, and an awesome place to make friends as close as family.

Ric and Laura are super amazing teachers, professional, and so much patience !Really happy i found this school and learnt a new hobby 😍

Best experience ever, they are a family and the activities are amazing. Love it, best family in Dubai 🔥❤️💪

I really enjoyed the class, it was fun

Love it! Such a wonderful place filled with joy laughter and love :) definitely recommend it❤️❤️

Im doing individual sessions with Beto and really loving it! ! It was my first time but he so understanding and he knows how to handle beginners like me. Ric banks studio is very nice and i love how the communicate with me. I just came one day and Kris booked me immediately the next day, shes a star! ! All in all im Really loving it here. I just came from abu dhabi and will love to book when I visit dubai again! !

The Best dance studio in dubai! Professional teacher, amazing energy and vibes!

I really love it, it’s so much fun learning dancing with Ric 👌🏼

Thank you for awesome experience. That was the best time while in Dubai I went to classes! Highly professional and amazing team👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thank you for everything🤗🤗❤️

My boyfriend and I went to their free class and it was interesting. Rick really explained everything. Although I hope they can do something about the A/C cause it was really hot.I communicated with a blonde lady to ask for details about the fees but we couldnt understand each other. My bf also felt she is too pushy and aggressive so i was a little bit annoyed. It took us a while until the other staff explained everything to us. Overall, we would like to come back again after our schedule allows us.

Very warm and lovely atmosphere, professional leader and lots of fun

I am still learning Salsa and I can confidently say that this is the best dance academy in Dubai where anyone can learn.

It’s a nice experience learning the type of dances I used to love when I was in college. Ric Banks is very professional, friendly and you are going to enjoy it while learning how to dance. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ric is amazing, always in a good mood and funny jokes.The team is very professional and super friendly!Love going here ❤️

There are many reasons why you should dance Latin: the music, endorphins and dopamine rise through moving your body, bonding and connecting with others (one of the few cases where you could actually look in somebody’s eyes these days), physical contact and touch (which is absolutely natural we need it!), forgetting all worries and hustles of mind and just BE for this one hour, and on and on and on...Because of these and other reasons dance was always a huge part of my life. I’m very demanding when it comes to choosing a right school and tried a few places in Dubai and globally, for salsa particularly. I’ve only stayed with Ric Banks and can’t get enough of it:) Ric is methodological, competent, treat everyone individually and makes classes FUN.I became an evangelist of this place now and keep bringing people in, bc it’s a highlight of my days and could be the same for anyone. Cheers!

I am really pleased that I chose Ric Banks Dance Academy. Everything is so professional and at a good speed, in my opinion. I’ve learned so much in such a short time😉Thank you!

I love salsa classes! Fantastic dance teacher, friendly atmosphere, high level of classes and professional approach :) definitely worth a time and each penny to spend ;)

Excellent place to learn and make lots of friends. Ric is very professional and gives attention to detail. 5 stars 👍🏻

Learned to dance from the best! It’s not a easy job to make a non-dancer like me be able to enjoy dancing. But the teachers here make it possible In no time. Great teachers, professional and experienced... the positive and fun environment makes the stress melt away and u r sure to have a great time in every class. If u r a beginner or looking to enhance your skills... this institute is not to be missed!

I met Ric several years ago at the very beginning of his Salsa saga:) when he was The One and Only though without his Academy teaching salsa and other latina dance at the different hotels’ venues.I remember it was in Barsha In some of the hotels. He made a show performance with his partner and they looked so beautiful and so professional that I asked myself what I was doing there🤔. After one month I tried again and dared to approach Ric. I met an amazing human being with a warm heart who introduced me immediately to the other people in his growing salsa family. I remember the feeling of being accepted as part of it immediately, Trust me, this sense of belonging, when all the others welcome you, is the most Important feeling about dance community.. I danced ,stopped, started again. Whenever I decided to continue I felt as if I never left. Now Ric is still The One and Only but with his the One and Only Dance Academy, probably the biggest and the best not only in Dubai but in the whole UAE. What can be a better proof of Ric’s professionalism and well deserved popularity.. To be sure of that, meet Ric and join his academy.It is not only a school , it is the family. You will feel this urge to return there after having become the dance expert yourself . It’s a school and retreat for you soul;)

One of the best instructors ever. Fun and displays easy ways to remember the steps. Gives full attention to each and every one. Very polite, respectful and amazing human. I m glad I joined Ric banks. 🤗
