SHINE Dance Studio Ethiopia is a unique dance school that offers customized classes in salsa, merengue, bachata, kizomba and semba, as well as fusion styles. Our dance journey started many years ago, first fueled by a passion for Cuban salsa. Once the salsa is in your blood, you will be forever in love with it… The upbeat Latin rhythms of salsa, bachata and merengue instantly make you want to get up and dance, offering a great cardio workout that trains your entire body.
Cuban salsa can also be danced as a group in a circle, called a Rueda de Casino. It’s truly impressive to watch a rueda, where the dancers beautifully synchronize their steps to become a unified movement. During social dance evenings many people from different schools in Addis come together and often end up dancing a rueda, which is lots of fun!
Our lead instructor, Elias Fissha, became Ethiopia’s first certified salsa and bachata teacher. Always looking for ways to innovate, Shine Studio successfully pioneered the dynamic Angolan semba and the “African tango” kizomba in Ethiopia.
Shine strongly believes in the power of dance as a way to gain happiness and health, and we would love to welcome you to our wonderful family. We offer group classes as well as private classes for adults and kids.
