Class Descriptions:
 
Salsa Suelta Cuban Line Dance for all levels 
6:30-7:30PM
Salsa Suelta is a catchy, challenging, “free style” line dance popular in Cuba. In this series, we teach the timing, steps, and flow of Salsa Suelta, and integrate steps from other Cuban dances – Rumba, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Son, Pilon, and Makuta – and use these movements to build fun, low-impact cardio dance sequences that improve your health and prepare you to shine on any Salsa dance floor. No dance experience necessary, all levels welcome!
 

Salsa Partner Dance & Rueda De Casino Beginner Level 1

7:45-8:45PM

Rueda de Casino means “Salsa Wheel.” It’s a fun way to learn the musicality, repertoire, and lead-follow of Cuban Salsa. In Rueda, dancers change partners in a circle while performing steps and combinations to the arrangement of a caller. Rueda allows students to dance with various partners in a fluid motion and relaxed environment. In our beginner series we teach the steps needed to dance Salsa individually, as a couple, and amongst multiple couples in a Rueda. This is a beginner level class and is gender free. No partner is necessary. Each student is free to choose the lead or follow role.
