A FREE gift for all New beginner salsa & Bachata Dancers

First of the Month (Wednesdays)

On the first Wednesday of every Month, we set aside our regular programming to host something rare: a free salsa  and bachata class designed exclusively for absolute beginners.

This class is not for everyone.

It's for you — if you've never danced salsa or bachata before.  No experienced dancers. No intimidating turn patterns. No one watching you struggle. Just a room full of people taking their very first steps together — at the same time, at the same pace, with the same nervous smiles.

Who this class is for:

*People who have never taken a salsa  or bachata class

*People who tried once and felt completely lost

*People who are scared to try but want to finally do it

guided practica

Our Guided Salsa & Bachata Practice is completely driven by you. Have you been struggling to nail that double spin? Can't figure out why your follow keeps losing tension in a particular turn pattern? Or maybe your Bachata basic feels rushed, but you don't know why? You call the shots.


At the start of each session, you tell our instructor exactly what is tripping you up. Instead of just showing you the move again, our instructor will first step back and analyze your foundation. Often, a bad spin isn't a spinning problem—it's a spotting or weight-transfer problem. A shaky partner work pattern isn't about arm placement—it's about poor frame or timing.


Bring your questions, your problem areas, and your willingness to drill. Leave with clarity, confidence, and a customized roadmap for your growth.

Benefit #1: The "Root Cause" Fix (Not Just a Band-Aid)

The Problem: In a regular class, the teacher moves on whether you "got it" or not. You might learn a new turn, but still feel off-balance.
The Benefit: When you ask for help with a specific move, our instructor won't just repeat the combination. They will first diagnose your foundation—your posture, your frame, your weight transfer, and your timing. Often, fixing that instantly solves the move you were struggling with. You leave with a permanent correction, not a temporary patch. 

Benefit #2: Customized 1-on-1 Attention Within a Group Setting

The Problem: Group classes move at a fixed pace and cover general material, leaving your unique struggles unaddressed while you try to keep up with everyone else.

The Benefit:  You get the energy of a group class with the personalized focus of a private session. You set the agenda—so every correction targets your timing, body, and partnership issues, whether you're a lead or follow. No generic advice. Just relevant, hands-on fixes. 

Benefit #3: Fix Bad Habits Before They Become Permanent

The Problem: Practicing alone or only at socials reinforces mistakes until they become incredibly hard to break.
The Benefit: By inviting the instructor over to watch exactly what you are doing wrong, you catch and correct errors early. Our instructor will watch you drill your problem area, offering real-time, hands-on adjustments so your muscle memory is rewired correctly from the start. You stop wasting months of practice doing the wrong thing—and start building clean, efficient technique immediately.
