• Salsa, Level 1 - 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 2 - 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 3 - Intro to Intermediate 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 4 - Basic Intermediate Salsa
  In this class, we will be reviewing and integrating the skills learned in the first three levels. However, there will be a big emphasis on exploring many more variations from the moves learned in Level 3. With different hand combinations there are numerous ways of doing the cross body lead with left & right turns and at least a couple dozen ways of doing the sweetheart. We'll be exploring some of these, and making sure our turns, balance, and leading & following skills are ready for you to join the upper level advanced-intermediate class!

• Salsa, Level 5 - Advanced-Intermediate Salsa
  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.

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 us first to see if it makes sense for you to join the 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.

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.

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.
