About this studio
Mezclando Milwaukee teaches Latin dance in the Delaware House studio in Bay View. The schedule centres on salsa at multiple levels—Level 1 for beginners and less-experienced dancers, and Level 2 for those with strong basic skills—plus bachata, cumbia, rueda de casino, and a structured Salsa Improvers Course. Classes run most Tuesdays and Thursdays, with 1-hour sessions taught by Matt and Betsy.
Level 1 Salsa (drop-in) covers rhythm and timing, basic footwork and turns, and lead-follow connection, designed for social dancing. No partner is required; the studio notes that partners rotate and numbers of leaders and followers fluctuate week to week, though you can bring your own partner if you prefer to dance together. Level 2 moves into shines (solo footwork) and short turn combinations, and the studio recommends completing the 8-week Salsa Improvers Course before stepping up to this level.
The studio also hosts First Friday Salsa Socials, a 4-hour monthly event running from 8 pm to midnight with a beginner lesson at 8 pm, followed by social dancing and refreshments. The event features music across salsa, bachata, cumbia, merengue, and cha cha, spun by DJ Saffiro, DJ Furcio, and DJ Mateo. It is alcohol-free and welcomes youth under 18 if accompanied by an adult. This event has been a local fixture since 2009.
Pricing is straightforward: $15 per drop-in class or $80 for an 8-class punch pass valid for one year and usable towards any group classes. Cash and credit cards are accepted, and online pass purchase is available to speed check-in.
