Class Descriptions
Salsa Classes

Beginner Salsa
Salsa is a very sensual, energetic dance with its sexy hip movements along with the flashy turns and spins it has become a must learn dance for Houstonians. The Beginner Salsa class will start at the beginning with the timing of salsa music and basic footwork in a fun relaxed setting. By the end of the month we will be dancing a variety of patterns using various salsa turns and spins. The Beginner Salsa class is for students who have never danced salsa before or have limited (club) dance experience. No Partners Necessary. Come comfortably dressed. During the week we have a variety of dress as some people have come straight from work while others are more casual. On weekends everyone is pretty casual in either slacks or jeans (no shorts please).

Salsa classes are offered every month.

Pre-Intermediate Salsa
In the Pre-Intermediate Salsa class we will learn some fun new salsa moves focusing on the basic traveling spins with added emphasis on lead and follow techniques. The Pre-intermediate Salsa class is for students who know their basic salsa steps (cross body lead, right turn, open break) but are still considered beginners. The class will prepare you for the next level while solidifying what you learned in the Beginner Salsa class. For experienced dancers who are new to our classes it is sometimes difficult to determine where to start without just taking the class. With new students we often need to adjust the level after the first class. So if you register for a class and find it is too easy or too difficult we can move you up or down a level the following week. If you've never taken classes before you will need to take the beginner class or private lesson(s) to make sure you haven't missed important steps.

Intermediate Salsa
The hot social patterns we learn in the Intermediate Salsa class are more intricate than in the lower levels with more challenging spins and faster music. Students in the Intermediate Salsa class will learn different salsa patterns every month sometimes focusing on spins, styling or maybe just some exciting new patterns. This class is for students who know their foundation patterns and spins.

Advanced Salsa
If you really want to learn salsa with all the exciting spins and turns this is the class for you! The Advanced Salsa class is an ongoing class with different combinations every month to add those flashy patterns to your social dancing including multiple spins, shines and sexy styling tips for the ladies. Students join the Advanced Salsa class (by approval) once they achieve the required level of dance skills needed for the class.

Salsa Club Nights
Salsa lovers are very fortunate as Houston has plenty of great Latin clubs and awesome dancers. We have a great group of students from the salsa classes who enjoy meeting at various salsa clubs to practice dancing. It's a really fun group and everyone attending the salsa classes are encouraged to join us on club nights.
