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!
