CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
  • Salsa, Level I - Intro to Salsa Dancing
    The famous "Intro to Salsa" class is for everyone who wants a solid intro to the world of dancing salsa. After just a few weeks, you'll know how to dance salsa, and be ready to start going out and having fun in the salsa clubs of Boulder and Denver.

  • Salsa, Level II - Advanced-Beginner Salsa Dancing
    The next step in becoming a proficient salsa dancer. After this class, you'll have mastered all the basics, and will be ready to start some intermediate level moves.

  • Salsa, Level III - Intro to Intermediate Level Salsa Dancing
    In this class, you will learn all of the fundamental and critical elements that will enable you to dance at the intermediate level. We will learn how to do the cross body lead with left and right turns and several sweetheart variations.

  • Salsa, Level IV - Intermediate Level Salsa Dancing
    An upper end class. In this class we will learn more of the most often used moves in the clubs, technique for leading and following, and several new and fancy combinations.

What do all of these different "Levels" mean, and what level is appropriate for me?

Basic level salsa classes
Salsa, Level I – Introduction to Salsa
Salsa, Level II – Advanced-Beginner
Salsa, Level III – Intro to Intermediate Level
     – each class normally taken once before advancing to the next level

Higher level salsa classes
Salsa, Level IV – Intermediate
Salsa, Level V – Advanced-Intermediate
Salsa, Level VI – Advanced
     – each class to be taken multiple times before advancing to next level
     – material is always unique in successive repetitions of these classes

What if I can't make all four sessions due to scheduling problems?

If you can make at least three of the four sessions, I recommend signing up, as you will still be able to learn pretty much everything taught in the class. If you can make only one or two of the sessions, please contact me first to see if it makes sense for you to join the class. ($15 to drop in on a class.)

Another, but more expensive option, is to take a make-up private lesson. Often a half hour private lesson can catch you up with whatever you missed. A full hour will catch you up as well, plus get you some much-needed individual attention to help eliminate any bad habits, improve your technique, and generally help make it much easier to keep up with the class. Rates for private lessons are here.

What if I don't have a dance partner?

No problem! You can sign up as a couple or as an individual. In fact, most people sign up as individuals.
During the class we constantly rotate partners, so you will be dancing with everybody.

What if I am a not quite up to the level of the class or I'm not sure if I am at the level of the class?

In this case, please contact me, and we can try to determine what class is best for you.
Also, you could take a "catch-up private lesson" to quickly bring you up to the level of the class that you would like to take.

What should I wear to class?

Comfortable clothing and slick bottom soled shoes. A shoe with a slick bottom is a shoe that doesn't stick hard on a wooden floor -- avoid new sneakers or hiking boots! Any leather soled shoe will work just fine.
