Our group classes are broken up into a four-week series typically beginning at the start of every month. The first couple of weeks will focus on fundamental principles of the dance, music, and technique. Week 3 & 4 will be applying those principles to various combinations. Entry into the series is only allowed during the first two weeks. If it is not possible to attend the first two weeks then we request that you wait until the next series begins.

How long will I be in Level 1?
  • New Dancers: You will be in this level for approximately three or more monthly series. In the first month you're just figuring out what your feet are doing, next month you are starting to focus on arms and lead/follow skills, the third month you are adding in rhythm and body action. At this point you will be starting to move somewhat naturally. Also those that stay after and practice or take private lessons will progress much faster.
  • Club Dancers New to our Salsa series: It typically takes a club dancer one to three months to feel comfortable in our beginner series. Club dancers are sometimes very rhythmical with nice body action. What is missing are the partnering skills that allow them to be a great dancer. Also we have standardized names for the skills, elements and patterns we teach. In level two we don't teach those things, we call out the specific combinations and expect you to understand the terminology. Having these things makes everything quicker and easier. It is also unfair to those who have honestly achieved level one to have to wait while we reteach ONE person (who skipped level 1) something everybody else already knows.
  • Students from Other Schools: You can expect to take the class one to three months before moving on to level two. Every school or teacher has a different system for determining the levels of the students and classes. One school's level 4 may be equal to another school's level 3 or a third school's level 2. A safe bet is always drop down a level and take the beginners class. Understanding the foundations that the teacher is building upon is crucial to getting the most out of a class.
