Level 1 classes are intended for beginners and less-experienced dancers. Each class works on several basic concepts essential for social salsa dancing including rhythm and timing, basic footwork and turns, and lead-follow connection. (It is recommended that students take our 8-week salsa improvers course before moving to level 2.) No partner is required, partners rotate. Please understand that the number of leaders and followers may fluctuate from week-to-week; there is no guarantee you will have a partner to dance with at all times. If you bring a partner and would prefer to dance together, that is fine.
