Adult Classes

Basic Beginner Salsa (level 1)- Perfect for absolute beginners or anyone looking to build a strong foundation. In this introductory class, dancers learn the essential elements of salsa: basic steps, timing, rhythm, partner connection, and simple turn patterns. The class will start with footwork known as “shines” and then break into partnerwork. Our instructors break everything down at a comfortable pace, ensuring you feel confident, supported, and ready to take on the dance floor. No experience or partner required — just bring your energy and be ready to have fun!

 

Advanced Beginner Salsa (level 1.5)- A perfect bridge between Basic Beginner and Level 2!
Advanced Beginner Salsa (Level 1.5) is designed for dancers who are comfortable with their basic steps and timing and are ready for more variety, coordination, and confidence. This class introduces slightly more complex turn patterns, shines, partnering concepts, and directional changes while reinforcing strong technique and rhythm.

Students will refine their lead/follow skills, improve balance and footwork, and begin to flow more naturally through combinations — all at a supportive, steady pace.

Ideal for dancers who have completed Basic Beginner and want to progress without jumping straight into Level 2.

 

Salsa level 2- builds on the foundations learned in earlier levels (level 1 and 1.5) and introduces more intricate footwork, traveling turns, and layered partner patterns. Students focus on developing stronger technique, improving musicality, and blending movements together more smoothly.

This class is ideal for dancers who fully understand the basic steps and timing and are ready to expand their repertoire while strengthening their lead/follow communication.

Salsa level 3- Designed for experienced dancers who want challenge, precision, and style.
In Salsa Level 3, students explore advanced turn patterns, body movement, shines, and dynamic partner work. Emphasis is placed on clean technique, connection, styling, and musical interpretation.

Perfect for dancers who are comfortable with all foundational salsa elements and are ready to push their skill level with more complex combinations, speed, and creativity.
