What to expect
Your first visit
First-time students should start with a Level 1 drop-in class; Levels 2 and up require an instructor evaluation. Classes are 50 minutes — arrive close to the start time (you may enter up to 10 minutes early). No dance partner is needed: students rotate and practice with one another and with the instructor. Drop-in payment is made in person at class time, while four-week courses require advance online registration. The weekly "Taste of Latin Dancing" is an introductory Salsa & Bachata session followed by open dancing (BYOB, 21+ with ID).
