FAQ

  • What salsa level should I attend?

    Feel free to try out different levels as part of your group package. Many experienced dancers will still find a lot of value in the Level 1 (intro) or Level 2 (beginner) classes due to the emphasis on foundations and technique paired with a simpler choreography. The level 3 (intermediate), 4 (advanced) or 5 (expert) classes are similar, but with more advanced movements.

  • What Salsa Styles do you teach?

    Our style of dance is mainly based on New York/Puerto Rican style of Salsa, blended with our own innovations. We also teach Pachanga and Afro-Cuban based movements (Rumba and Santeria) as part of our non-partnered Shines to give a dynamic, earthy experience. Classes are On1 and/or On2.

  • Do I need a partner to register?

    No, you don’t! Students and instructors rotate multiple times throughout class so you get to practice your skills with different dancers.

  • Can I learn leading or following?

    Yes, anyone can learn whichever role they want during group or private classes.

  • What is the typical class size?

    The group classes are usually small to medium in size to guarantee each student receives specific feedback. Advanced student teaching assistants also attend classes to support instructors and provide feedback to students.

  • What types of classes are offered?

    Private classes, group classes, registered training teams and performance team classes. Private classes will typically accelerate your development, although it is entirely possible to learn comprehensively through group and registered classes. In all cases, progressive challenges in technique and artistic development will be presented to you as you advance.

  • Can I sign up if I'm with another school?

    Yes, we don’t own our students.

  • What should I wear in class or in socials?

    Whatever you want. We suggest wearing light and comfortable clothing and shoes with a suede bottom to turn easily. Many dancers find jazz sneakers/shoes comfortable to wear. Above all, practice good hygiene.
