Salsa Fundamentals 8 Week Series:
Tuesdays 6-7pm Part 1 (Absolute Beginner)
Tuesdays 7-8pm Part 2 (Beginner)
The fundamental level class is an 8 week series for the absolute beginner with little to no experience. This is a progressive series, each class building from the prior one, intended to give you the fundamentals (timing, basic steps, lead and follow, shines, turns and combos) and confidence to build your first steps as a Salsa and Bachata dancer. It's the perfect course to get you ready for the dance floor. NO experience necessary. Students as instructed as a group with rotating partners.
This series will be split into two parts: Part 1 will focus on the Salsa fundamentals (basic steps, timing, and lead/follow), while Part 2 will focus on traveling turns, partner connection and creating more challenging turn patterns as you continue to master the fundamentals.
We recommend completing Part 2 of this course 2-or-3 times before moving on to the Advanced Beginner level. Each series will go over a different variation of tools.
