Frequently Asked Questions

Indoor Dance Classes

How do I/ we get started?

There are a couple ways that you can get started:

  1. We offer drop-in lessons every Friday
    for our Friday Night Salsa Fix
  2. You can also take our online 30-day salsa dance challenge which gives you a
    quick lesson every day for 30 days
  3. We offer private lessons for any level
  4. Progressive Group Lessons and Workshops through the year

Can I truly master dancing? Absolutely! Dancing can flow as naturally as walking, especially under the guidance of our extraordinary instructors. We impart straightforward fundamental elements that establish a strong base across the diverse dance styles we offer. This foundation becomes the heart of our training, further fortified through consistent and ample practice. You’ll experience this firsthand in our personalized dance lessons and dynamic social dances. With dedication to practice, you’ll find yourself achieving remarkable dancing prowess.

No partner is needed to dance with us or the many dance communities that we interact with many of our students come as individuals and the classes and socials are structured so that there are frequent partner changes
