FIRST STEPS
SALSA CUBAN
RUEDA CASINO
(STAGE 1 & 2)
We’ve designed the course in two 7-week progressive stages, all within the same weekly class. To move on to Stage 3 (Improvers Rueda), you must complete the full 14-week period.
Rueda de Casino is a Cuban style of salsa danced in a circle, where dancers constantly change partners following fun and playful calls from the leader (called the "caller"). It’s social, interactive, and packed with laughs, perfect for anyone who enjoys group energy and rhythm. Expect high energy, teamwork, and lots of smiling.
NEXT STEPS
SALSA CROSSBODY
BEGINNERS
(STAGE 2) ON1
For dancers with basic experience or who completed Stage 1 Salsa Foundations.
If you already know your basic steps and timing, this is your next level. In Salsa Beginners Stage 2, you'll strengthen your fundamentals and start learning more dynamic movements.
This course includes:
-
Crossbody leads and right/left turns
-
Fun partner combinations
-
Musicality and timing practice
-
Better connection techniques
This is the bridge between beginner and improver level, helping you feel more comfortable, fluid, and expressive on the dance floor.
BUT... IS SALSA FOR YOU?
Have you ever felt like...
-
You’d love to dance but feel nervous or don’t know where to start?
-
You want to meet new people in a fun, relaxed setting?
-
You’re looking for something joyful to break the routine and release the stress?
-
You miss moving your body and want to feel more confident and alive?
-
You’d love to try something new with a friend or partner to connect and have fun together?
-
You’ve always wanted to try salsa but thought, “I have no coordination” or “I’ll mess it up”?
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Most of our students felt the same before their first class.
And guess what? You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to start.
