FAQs

Do I need a partner to take classes?No partner? No problem! Our classes are structured so that we rotate partners regularly, giving everyone the chance to dance with others and improve faster. If you do come with a partner, you’re welcome to stay together throughout the class.

I’ve never danced before. Can I still join?Absolutely! We specialize in beginner-friendly classes where no prior experience is needed. Our instructors guide you step-by-step, and our progressive format ensures you learn comfortably and confidently.

What’s the difference between salsa and bachata?Salsa is upbeat, fast-paced, and often danced with lots of spins and turns, while bachata is slower, more sensual, and has a smoother rhythm. Both styles are fun and expressive—you’ll learn to love them in different ways!
-
What should I wear to class?Wear something comfortable and breathable that allows you to move easily. For shoes, try dance shoes or smooth-soled sneakers—avoid rubber soles or flip-flops. As you advance, we can recommend specific footwear.
-
How do your class levels and cycles work?We teach in progressive cycles starting at the beginning of each month, with classes building week by week over a 3-month period. You can start anytime and will cycle into the next rotation to ensure you get the full foundation of each level.
-
What’s the difference between private lessons and group classes?Private lessons offer one-on-one instruction tailored to your goals, pace, and learning style—great for faster progress, personal attention, or preparing for something special. Group classes are social, fun, and structured to help you learn with others while developing rhythm, connection, and confidence in a community setting. Many students do both to get the best of both worlds!
-
Which dance style is easiest to learn: Salsa On1, Salsa On2, Casino Rueda, or Bachata?Generally, Bachata is considered the easiest for beginners because of its slower tempo and simpler basic steps. Salsa On1 is also beginner-friendly with clear timing and straightforward footwork. Salsa On2 and Casino Rueda tend to be a bit more complex due to timing nuances and partner/group coordination, so they might take a bit more practice—but they’re incredibly fun once you get the hang of them!
