Beginner Salsa 6-Week Series

6-week progressive Salsa series for those who have never tried Salsa On2, are training & building their foundations, or who want to start learning the opposite role!

Learn fundamentals, salsa history, social dance etiquette, musicality, & more. In our classes we encourage anyone to learn lead and/or follow parts and foster a positive environment where you will gain a foundation in salsa and have fun!

This space is queer, trans & ally-inclusive and designed for beginners or those who want to drill their foundations.

-Intentionally small class sizes so you get individualized feedback.

-Equal attention to both Follow & Lead roles.

-Technique, concept, and context-focused. Not patterns to memorize.

-Gender neutral teaching & body movement.

-Inclusion of salsa history.
