Instructors: Sarah & George

Welcome to the exciting world of Salsa! Contrary to what many believe about Salsa dancing, it is a very forgiving, intuitive and easy to learn social dance. Salsa is not only fun, but socially relevant given recent awareness and appreciation of Latino Cultural. Born from Afro-Caribbean rhythms and Jazz, Salsa music is a web of complex, but repetitive rhythms that are energizing and uplifting.

Viscount Salsa classes are student centered - meaning the material and pace of the class is determined by the students in the class, not the intended choreography of the instructor. Our Salsa classes are fun, non-intimidating, and highly addictive! We recommend students of any level to listen to Salsa daily while taking classes. Here are some artists to look for: Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Jose 'El Canario' Alberto, Sonora Carruseles.

Salsa 1 Introduction
This class will cover the basic steps of Salsa dancing, and fundamental concepts on frame, body movement, partnering, and navagating the local Salsa scene. We will discuss Salsa specific dance technique and the core framework of leading and following, as well as tips on how to cover up mistakes, non-intimidating stylistic flairs to spice up any move, and dance floor etiquette. Students will also learn 3 or more 'moves' to use on the dance floor and introduced to the Cross Body Lead, Salsa's most common type of intermediate move. No partner or prior experience necessary.
