Newbies Checklist

  • Where Should I Start From?

  • If you have never danced Salsa or Bachata before, start with our Tier I classes (free trial classes are also available on our schedule).
  • If you have taken lessons before, then use the second tip on how to determine your level.

  • Determine Your Tier!

  • Taken classes before and not sure where to start? You’ll need to take a tier consultation so one of our experts instructors can determine the class tier you can start with.
  • You can also check out what classes fall under each tier and view our syllabus videos to see what we learn in each tier.

  • Buy The Package That Fits Your Schedule & Goals.

  • How much do you want to commit? If you want to do only one of our 4-week series, then our 4-class pack is the best. Each package gives you class credits. You can use them for any classes in your tier (Newcomer, Foundation, etc.). Any tier higher than Newcomer allows you to take all classes in that tier plus all classes from the previous tiers.

  • Take Our Series + Our Ongoing Practice Classes!

  • For best results, we recommend that you combine our 4-week series with our ongoing practice classes for more patterns, moves, styling & drills.

  • Why Take Private Classes?

  • Feeling intimidated to join a group class or you need to accelerate faster or maybe just solidify your skills? Then private lessons or a combination of group and private lessons is best for you. You will get the individual attention of one of our expert instructors and work on exactly the skills you need to improve.

  • What Should I Wear To Class?

  • If you are new to dancing, you don’t have to have dance shoes but be sure to avoid sneakers or other rubber bottom shoes. Wear shoes that will allow you to slide on wood floor so you don’t hurt your knees when you try to do turns. If you have dance shoes, it’s best to wear those.
