What is Salsa?
Salsa is one of the most popular and energetic Latin dances, perfect for beginners who want to have fun while learning. Originating from a mix of Cuban son and New York jazz in the 1930s, salsa evolved in the 60s into the style we know today.
In our beginner salsa classes, you’ll learn:
