About this studio
Black Belt Salsa (BBS / ThisIsSalsa.com) is a Denver-based salsa school built around a unique, system-based curriculum rather than pattern memorization. The method was created and continues to be developed by world-renowned instructor Edie "The Salsa FREAK," and uses a martial-arts-inspired belt progression: every student starts at White Belt and earns each belt color on the way to Black Belt through methodical, step-by-step stages and regular level testing.
The curriculum emphasizes simplicity, sensuality, and technique over complicated turn patterns, with distinct tracks for leaders (rapid move acquisition, partner-pleasing technique) and followers (styling, understanding the lead, adapting to instantaneous changes). Beyond weekly classes, BBS offers private lessons, an apprenticeship/instructor-training program, performance and dance-team training, and event services (weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, DJ services) across Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, Cumbia and more.
