Dance SF Salsa Classes

Which Classes should I take? Are they all the same?
All the beginning classes teach the same fundamental dance techniques. Each class covers different patterns, so you can take several classes each week, and learn new things. It does not matter which day of the week, or where the class location is - you'll always learn what you need to know! Many people take multiple classes each week to reinforce the learning process. Intermediate classes teach different material/patterns each class. So, if you signed up for intermediate classes on one day, and then also signed up on another day, you would learn different material. Many people do this as well.

Class Description and Schedule
The classes all start with footwork, and basic dance moves geared towards club-style salsa dancing. The goal is to get everyone comfortable with basic dance fundamentals and then apply them to salsa dance. Beginner classes are fun and fast, but not too fast - filled with patience, repetition, and practice. Beginner classes are suitable for people who have never salsa danced, never danced at all, as well as people wanting to strengthen their fundamentals. If time allows, we invite students to extra practice time after class.

Intermediate classes have a few requirements, namely that people are comfortable with the basic steps and know the open breaks, cross body leads, and basic turns. Each week we will be reviewing the basic salsa steps, and adding patterns. Each class and session is different and has different patterns. The basic schedule (subject to change) is contained below.
