Not sure where to start? Feeling intimidated?
We’ve been there too! We welcome you to join our Fundamentals classes. This class is designed for students with little or no salsa dance experience. Students learn fundamentals of salsa timing, rhythm, footwork, and are introduced to dancing with a partner. We will also go over the basic structure of Latin music and discuss some of the differences between various salsa styles. These progressive sessions are essential for beginners and newcomers to salsa; these would also benefit those who have enjoyed dancing at clubs but have never taken a lesson.
