Join the fun! This introduction to salsa is for students with little or no salsa dance experience. You don't need a partner to join!

 
You will learn the four basic steps: ladies’ and men’s right turn; cross body lead, including timing and the importance of leading/following technique.

 
Each class builds progressively with a class structure of 15 min. review/15 min. new material/15 min. practice/15 min. dance to music.

Complementary Courses: Bachata; GoDanceSalsa Shines.

 
Instructor: Bowie

 
Cost: $90 cash or cheque to SSDS
 

What to wear: Soft-soled shoes (no rubber), comfortable clothing, deodorant and minty breath! Oh yes!

Now that students know the basic building blocks, popular sequences are taught by adding new handholds on core basics. Each class builds progressively. Start with our unique Core Moves Method to fully understand salsa figures, timing and leading/following technique.

Recommended for people who know basic salsa steps from clubs or who 'wing it'. We prepare students to go out dancing with other people who take classes in the city.

Complementary Courses: Latin Dance Mix; GoDanceSalsa!

Time: Tuesdays, 8-9pm. Winter break: Last class Dec 8th-back on Jan 5th til Feb 9th.

Missed the start of the session? You can take another level 2 in 6 weeks as opposed to waiting for 12 weeks. It's also at 7pm Tuesdays.

Instructor: Karen

Prerequisite: Basics, Ladies' Right Turn, CBL, leading & following.
 Perhaps you've taken club classes before or used to dance but have taken a break, so you're not a complete beginner. Class description here.

Cost: $165 (1st class is free!). See Prices & Loyalty Programs for more options.
