Salsa
Class Details
Salsa is a vibrant Latin partner dance known for its quick footwork, syncopated rhythms, and dynamic turn patterns. Level 1 and Level 2 run at the same time—great for beginners building a foundation or experienced dancers looking to grow. Each month features a new theme with progressive instruction that builds week by week. No partner or experience needed for Level 1—just bring your energy! We recommend at least 8 weeks in Level 1 before moving up to Level 2. Level 1 Salsa Perfect for beginners, this class introduces core rhythms, footwork, partner connection, and basic turns. Great for building confidence and getting comfortable on the dance floor. Level 2 Salsa For dancers who already know the basics and are ready for more complexity. In this class, you’ll develop: Partner Dynamics: Stronger leading/ following and frame control Musicality: Hear the beat, feel the rhythm, and dance confidently on 1 Memory & Recall: Retain longer combos and patterns Adaptability: Rotate partners to improve responsiveness Spin/Turn Technique: Sharpen balance and turn execution Stamina: Build endurance with faster music NOTE: Progressive courses gradually layer new concepts each week and provide time to review and build muscle memory. It's an effective way to improve as a dancer.
