I am thinking of moving to Medellin and am wondering if there is a true ballroom dance studio? (and not just Latin styles) A web search does not help much.

My web search sure gives a lot of places to look at - search for "medellin academia de baile" and you get many hits and a map:

https://www.google.com/search?q=medellin+academia+de+baile&oq=medellin+academia+de+baile&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.8137j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Then I suggest calling or visiting the many dance studios/academies and explaining your needs. Note that salón de baile is different from baile de salón - the former means ballroom or dance studio, the latter means ballroom dancing (old-fashioned style).

jonoyakker, you are probably right - doing a little more investigating, the dance studios seem to concentrate on more modern forms of dance. I cannot find any that mention ballroom dancing although they run the gamut from Arab, Indian, Hip Hop, Ballet, etc. etc. as well as all Latin styles.

But tango is close! And you can find many that teach tango, doing a search for

medellin academia de baile tango

Or you can just go with the flow. Here's bachata and salsa, and they have a bar, too! How can you go wrong, a Dance School & Bar!
