ABOUT THE CLASS:
This fun 12-week class series will teach you salsa dance basics for the absolute beginner, and grow you into a dancer that you didn’t think possible! We make it easy to learn salsa dance even if you have never taken any dance classes before.
-You will learn with others who start at the same time as you and progress at the same speed as you do which helps create a bond as dancers and a community.
-You will have fun! Fun is a requirement at Salsa With Juan!
-Grow your confidence and skills as a dancer, even if you have no experience
- By the end of the series, you will see the transformation of you as a dancer. Yes You!
No partner is required. Everyone will rotate partners so that everyone has someone to dance with. (If you do have a significant other, you also have the option of taking this class with them as your dance partner).
You do not need any experience to begin this class. We believe, if you can walk, you can dance! Know 2 step? Then add one more step and its salsa! Lol.
The Salsa With Juan System
Embark on your salsa journey with confidence and take advantage of our 20+ years of teaching experience. We will guide you through our proven system that’s tailored to get anyone dancing regardless of skill level.

Class Curriculum and Structure
There will be no drop ins allowed because this is progressive course. To get the full benefit of the classes, it’s best to take the entire 12 weeks. Each week we will review the previous week's training but this class is taught with the intent of getting you to the next level!
We will coach you every step of the way so that it's simple to follow along, grow your confidence and skills as a dancer.
Most importantly, we want you to have fun, enjoy the positive atmosphere of our dance community and to leave each class feeling better and happier than how you came in!
After the 12 weeks, you will be able to graduate to our Intermediate salsa dance patterns classes.
Weeks 1-4 "Salsa Foundations"
Weeks 5-8 "Beyond the Basics & Technique”
Weeks 9-12 "Intro to Easy Patterns & Combinations"
- What’s a salsa pattern/ combination? A salsa pattern is a series of salsa combinations that you can use to be creative and fluid on the dance floor. Dancers mix and match salsa combinations on the dance floor to dance a whole song.
Once you have salsa patterns to work with, you can dance socially with anyone on the dance floor. If that doesn't quite make sense yet, we promise it will once you take this class. You will have that “ah ha” moment!
We will have limited spaces open for this class and pre-registration is recommended. We will close registration once class is full.
There will be a set number of spaces for leaders and followers. Why? This helps keep the class ratio of leaders and followers balanced. Choose your selection when purchasing.
What is a leader or follower? In dancing there is a lead (sometimes the male) and the follower (the women), however, there are some who choose to learn either role. It actually makes you a better dancer to learn both in the future!
So, whether you want to lead or follow, either is ok, but you can only choose one for the 12-weeks. When you purchase the class, there will be a drop down section to choose the leader or follower space. Please make your selection. Remember, we have a limited number of spots for each! We will close registration once spots are sold out.
