Cuban salsa in Arnhem
Arnhem combines two schools with different character: Let-in Dance by Lianne van Dormolen (purely Cuban, beginners through advanced, also active in Nijmegen) and Salsa Contigo (since 1994 on Jansplein, with Cuban as the foundation plus bachata and kizomba). Solid offering for both starters and seasoned casino dancers.

Cuban salsa in Arnhem — what you need to know
For a city Arnhem's size the Cuban offering is strong. Let-in Dance, led by Lianne van Dormolen, focuses explicitly on Cuban salsa with attention to inclusive teaching and runs locations in both Arnhem and Nijmegen. The school has a dedicated rueda intermediate track — not a given in the Netherlands. Salsa Contigo on Jansplein has been around since 1994, making it one of the oldest active schools in the region — Cuban salsa and rueda sit at the centre, complemented by bachata and kizomba. Many dancers combine the two: technical work at Let-in, social dance-floor vibes at Salsa Contigo. Arnhem's Cuban community is connected to those of Nijmegen and Apeldoorn — about an hour each way, so cross-city socials are common.
