Salsa + Bachata Intro - This class is ideal for those BRAND NEW to Salsa and/or Bachata. We offer these classes every Saturday afternoon, take one or both. Learn what the craze is about Salsa and Bachata; and get a taste of these fantastic moves.
Salsa Beginner 1 - This class is perfect for those beginning Salsa, and/or have been dancing for at least 3 - 6 months. You will learn basic footwork, patterns, turns and technique. This class is all about the foundation, when you have the foundation you can build. When you build, you can move into Intermediate level and start creating your own patterns.
Salsa Intermediate - *Approved by Instructor* - This class builds upon the Beginner 1 - you must be accepted into this class by your instructor when you prove you can do: focus on the details of symmetry, spotting, spatial awareness, creating healthy resistance and developing your frame. Salsa Int. represents working on more challenging and technical aspects of the resistance moves in Salsa. We will learn many variations of Copas, Cross Body Leads and Snap Backs as well as expanding moves from Salsa Beg. Partnering: seamless transition of closed and open connection, is also explored.
Bachata Beginner - This class is perfect for those beginning Bachata, and/or have been dancing for at least 3 - 6 months. You will learn basic footwork, patterns, turns and technique.

Sensual Bachata - This style of Bachata involves more body movement, head rolls, body rolls, sensual movement and connection between partners. We recommend that you take this style after going through Beginner Bachata classes.
Ladies Salsa Training - This class has been developed for dancers who want to move far beyond the technique and into the passion of dancing. We will address the relationships of dance, primarily the relationship of YOU and YOU and how to translate this into partnering in the most beautiful, vulnerable way - the feeling of 2. We will explore arm movements, strength building, posture, musicality and our opportunity to become an extension of the musicians' creation. We will also challenge our footwork and body movement skills by further developing the complexity of solos and adding dips and tricks. The training group may choose to audition and join one of Ladies Teams.
Ladies' Styling Class - is geared toward our Intermediate/Advanced Salsa Dancers who desire to express their femininity and creativity with styling movements using their upper body, lower body and body isolations. A strong foundation is absolutely necessary for this class.
