Six months of classes at the time you choose: €230 instead of €270, about €38.33 a month. You save €40 and don't have to think about renewing until summer.

Half a season with the same group and the same spot — enough time for what you practise in class to become part of how you dance.

When it starts: it runs for six calendar months. Book between the 1st and the 15th and you start that month. Book from the 16th onwards and your six months start the following month — the Mondays left in the current month are on us. For example, book on 20 October and your six months run November to April, and you can already come to the rest of October's classes.

Book by: by 31 December, so the full six months fit before the season ends in June.

Book now, pay nothing online. You pay €230 in cash at your first class, when we scan your QR code.

Where: Calle Tomás Bretón 34, 28045 Madrid — Delicias (Arganzuela). 5 minutes from Delicias metro station.
When: Mondays. 7–8 pm Shines (solo footwork) · 8–9 pm Salsa On2 partnerwork.
Level: intermediate.

When you book, you choose which class you'll attend. Partnerwork has separate spots for leaders and followers (10 each), so your spot is held for your role. Shines has 20 open spots.

Hi Irene! Maybe my opinion doesn't count for much since I'm one of the last to arrive, but I wanted to share a comment with you. Honestly, I really enjoy the content you share. I say this with total respect: you have become my inspiration, not only because of how natural you are, but because of what a great dancer and instructor you are. Get well soon! (Translated from Spanish)

With Irene, I discover a more authentic connection with my essence in salsa every day. Her way of teaching, combined with her talent as a dancer and her dedication as a teacher, is deeply inspiring. Thanks to her, I have grown in technique, in confidence, and in the desire to keep learning and enjoying this dance. Thank you, Irene, for accompanying me in this process, for helping me improve day by day, and for being a teacher and dancer who truly makes a difference and leaves a lasting mark. Sincerely, Laura Solange Ruiz Cabanilla (Translated from Spanish)

Thank you for everything we've experienced these past few days—such a beautiful group of people. I'm so grateful for the camaraderie, the hugs, the care, and the passion that could be felt throughout the entire process. A special thanks to the girls for being there for me when my shoes broke, and to everyone for a journey filled with smiles and words of encouragement. Maestra, if I admired your work before, I now admire your humility and your soul. It was an honor to be under your direction and to learn from you. Thank you for teaching us not just steps, but dance and the passion behind it. (Translated from Spanish)

To be honest, Irene, since I've been with you, I see the '1x2' in a completely different way. My basic step and posture have changed, just with your corrections on arms, hips, and knees. It transformed me. The guys at my academy noticed, but it was the girls mostly who were asking me about it. I told them I was doing Lady Style with you. I've never had arm technique explained to me so well before. It was worth traveling 2500 km from Calama to Puerto Varas just to see you. I love your technique. You are everything that is right in the world of dance for someone who is just starting out. I'm a bit older, and with what I've studied with you, I feel like I've finally made progress in my lady styling. (Translated from Spanish)

Hello, hello! Good afternoon. Now that the show is over and the congress has come to an end, I want to applaud everyone present here. I truly enjoyed this short process; the good vibes were always there with everyone, and I had a great time. It was a pleasure for me to dance with and meet so many masters from the south. Thank you to Maestro Irene for her excellent guidance and for being such a special human being—you are an angel on earth. We love you even more now. A big hug to everyone. To the people of this beautiful south, I hope we cross paths again. It was a pleasure. Oh, and of course, last but not least, thank you to boss Kari for creating these gatherings. See you in 2026, no matter what! (Translated from Spanish)

Since I started with IP Academy, my way of dancing has completely changed. Irene's methodology is unique: every class has a clear purpose and you notice how you progress week by week. I have not found anything like it on any other platform. (Translated from Spanish)

Irene has helped me grow so much as a dancer since I started learning from her. She introduced me to basic body movement, pachanga, caleño, and so much more, all in a clear and easy to understand way. Her feedback is precise thanks to her deep knowledge of salsa and her ability to spot and understand the smallest movements. It's rare to find a teacher as qualified, passionate, and skilled as Irene, and I can't recommend learning from her enough.

After meeting you in person, even though it was only for a few days, what I want to highlight most was your humility and empathy, your sense of camaraderie, and obviously, your teachings. You gave me advice that no one else had ever given me in all my years of study—details that I believe truly make a difference. In the workshop, I found it incredible how, by focusing on the basics, you managed to make everyone learn something new, both in the execution and in how to visualize and work through the movements.

I loved the workshop! 😁🚀 Now I understand why my teacher told me "if you want to learn more about pachanga, go find Irene" (Translated from Spanish)

A fantastic Pachanga workshop! One of its strengths was that Irene broke the choreography down into small, manageable steps, which makes learning far easier than it looks. I understood the essence and the style of Pachanga, not just the moves — like the little Forrest Gump step haha 😆 Really enjoyable, and that was taking the class online. (Translated from Spanish)

They are so well explained that I can work through them section by section at my own pace. Even in everyday life I find myself moving a little more gracefully hahaha (Translated from Spanish)

I had the great fortune of doing personalized training with Irene Palomares, an exceptional artist and a dancer I deeply admire. I travelled to Madrid specifically to train with her, drawn both by her outstanding artistic level and by her gift for teaching. Over eight intensive days and more than fifteen hours of one-to-one work, Irene guided me through perfectly structured training, tailored to my needs and my goals. Her teaching is precise, profound and deeply human. She was always attentive, available and committed to my growth as a dancer and as a teacher. Thanks to her guidance, I developed greater technical precision and a deeper understanding of lady style. I came away from this experience with valuable tools and solid material to pass on to my own students. I wholeheartedly recommend Irene Palomares as one of the finest teachers and dancers I have ever had the chance to meet. (Translated from Spanish)

I have been dancing salsa for many years, but with Irene I have rediscovered it from scratch. A basic step felt like the very first time I ever did it! Her classes, both group and private, have helped me feel more stylish and to grow without even realising it. Thank you (Translated from Spanish)
