You'll love learning the hottest dances worldwide: salsa is a beautiful, sexy and elegant dance, and merengue is easy, upbeat, and is danced to so many kinds of music. (We will focus mostly on salsa.) If you don't
already know and love salsa music, you will! There's nothing more exhilarating than learning enough well-executed salsa and merengue moves to dance with confidence at any party, social event or salsa club.
If you've never tried salsa, this is a great class for you, and you'll fall in love with the dance. And if you've danced a little salsa, you'll learn the mambo style (forward-back) basic step, cross-body leads, spins and more. (This class will not repeat most material from our last two terms.)
