Beginner

In the Pre-Intermediate Salsa series, Tianne and Jack will teach a elemental salsa pattern with three distinct lead and follow variations each week. Intermediate classes emphasize proper technique, flowing movement.

Our pre-intermediate salsa class is for people with at least 3 months of social dancing experience. Students should be moving on from beginning classes and building a base of knowledge and familiarity with basic intermediate salsa figures. Dancers taking our classes will become familiar with leading/following these figures: (1) right turns, (2) left turns, (3) cross-body leads, (4) reverse cross-body leads, (5) catwalks, (6) right side passes, (7) baskets, (8) back-spot turns.

Every class, we start with footwork, bodywork and/or individual dance moves so you can get really comfortable with basic steps. At a half-hour into class, we continue onto partnered dancing starting. Each week of the month, we introduce lead and follow variations.

As always, no partner necessary.

Absolutely no experience and no partner necessary! Beginner salsa classes are suitable for people who have never salsa danced, never danced at all, as well as people wanting to strengthen their fundamentals.

Every class, we start with footwork and individual dance moves that get us loosened up and light on our feet. We cover the the basics of salsa, every class, with lots of repetition and, for those who are ready for a little more salsa, variations on the basics. Then, at a half-hour into class, we continue onto partnered dancing.

We focus on the connection and fun that is possible between two people on the dance floor. Leaders (men) will learn to mix and match concepts to create variety and mystery in their dance, and Followers (women) will learn to read the signals. Our goal is for you to enjoy a whole new world of creative social dancing, not just memorize and copy moves (boring!) over and over again.

As always, there's time to social dance and free-style at the end.
