Find Your Personal Expression

No dance experience needed.

We start from the ground up and teach you the rhythm, steps, body movement and arm styling that make up the basics of salsa, as well as lots of fun solo patterns to get you started. We teach enough technique to keep injuries at bay and to give your movement the look and feel of salsa. Beyond that, we encourage you to dive into your creativity, play with the elements in this course, and develop your own style.

All genders welcome!

Your genitals don't determine your dance style.

Salsa doesn't discriminate - whether you're a guy, a gal or a non-binary pal, you can shimmy your shoulders and shake your booty (or choose not to) all the same! There are options for those of you who would like your movement to look traditionally masculine or feminine, but ultimately dance is about creating your own expression, so feel free to pick and choose.

Let's Chat!
