Absolutely! We offer classes for every experience level and all ages—from complete beginners to advanced dancers. Whether you're looking for a fun hobby, a great workout, or want to become a confident social dancer, there's a class for you.

If you've never taken salsa or bachata before, we recommend starting with our Beginner Unlimited Pass and taking as many beginner classes as possible. If you've taken classes before and are comfortable with the basics, you may be ready for Level 2 or higher. See our Level Guide on the Recreational Classes page or book a FREE Level Assessment if you'd like help choosing the right class.

No! You do not need a partner unless a class or workshop specifically states that registration is by couple. We rotate partners throughout class so everyone has the opportunity to dance and learn, but you're always welcome to opt out of rotating.

Before You Come
-
Wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in and clean indoor shoes. Please avoid black rubber-soled shoes, as they can mark the dance floor. Salsa or ballroom shoes are welcome but not required.
Because Latin dance is a close-contact social activity, we also ask students to arrive in clean clothing, wear deodorant, and practice good personal hygiene out of courtesy and respect for their dance partners.
-
Water bottles are welcome. Food and other beverages are not permitted in the studios.
-
To provide the best learning experience for everyone, children and spectators are not permitted in adult classes. Children may not be left unattended in the waiting areas.
