About this studio
Alianza Dance Company has been teaching salsa in Sacramento for over 10 years. Founded by Eddie and Amanda, the studio grew from informal dance nights among friends into a thriving community of hundreds of students.

The studio specializes in Salsa-on-2 across multiple class types and levels.

Thursdays offer Body Movement & Styling (7:00–7:50 PM), which focuses on isolations and adding flair, and Intermediate On2 Shines & Partnerwork (8:00–9:20 PM) for faster-paced footwork and advanced combinations. The studio also offers private lessons, couples classes for date nights or weddings, and performance training with choreography.
One of Alianza's defining features is that you don't need to bring a partner.
