Salsa and Merengue Classes
DJ and Dancing
Join the first salsa and merengue lessons in town and learn
the fun of latin dancing from the roots (while it lasts!).
First class is FREE, this February 8th. Come and have fun with us!
No previous experience or partner needed. We will learn mainly
salsa and merengue, but also we'll try out other dances like cumbia,
meneito, lambada, vallenato, cannandonga and carrapicho.
You can register for beginner, intermediate or advanced levels. The
beginner level is for those without previous dancing experience and
the class will be focused in teaching the basic steps and turns, how
to identify and move to the beat, posture and style, basic footwork,
and the basic principles of leading (and following, of course!).
The intermediate and advanced levels are designed for those who have
taken dancing classes before and want to improve their skills and
learn more about spins, turns, advanced footwork, group dancing,
style and leading.
