Born in this century in Puerto Rico and New York, salsa is just what the name implies, a mix of African rhythms and European partner dancing resulting in a constantly evolving dance with distinctive regional
spicing.
Come and learn the basics, or develop your existing skills. Our goal is to get you dancing and having fun right away.
Everyone will learn to both lead and follow.
The classes will build skills throughout the series; so, while everyone is welcome to drop in for the occasional class it could be confusing to only come to the last class.
