Newbies checklist

WHERE SHOULD YOU START FROM?

If you have never danced Salsa or Bachata before, start with our Novice Class Tier. If you'd like to learn Bachata. 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. For more information about our class tier click here. To book a consultation, scroll up to the beginning of this page.

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 (Novice, Rising, etc.). Any tier higher than novice allows you to take all classes in that tier plus all classes from the previous tiers.

TAKE OUR SERIES + OUR ONGOING 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 LESSONS?

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 YOU 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.

Our Reviews

Salsa with Silvia is THE PLACE TO BE. Whether you’re looking to improve your dancing, rent their beautiful studio for your private event, or bring your kids for an experience. You will leave feeling satisfied and happy that you took the step to come in. There is a reason this studio is the #1 Latin Dance studio in the DMV. You can feel the love that was put into the studio from starting out in just a basement to two studios! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The teachers are patient, understanding, and energetic.

Salsa with Silvia is more than a dance studio. Lots of magic happens there. You’ve got all the basics- amazing instructors, good variety of classes in style and level, a professional business, and a safe and reliable environment. In addition, you learn how dancing is about much more than just moving your body. By joining the studio you enter a community, so you meet amazing people and make new friends. The owner Silvia is always engaged and she is always willing to help.

The teachers are experienced and patient, and there are different levels that you can choose from. You can either stay at your own level, or try others at the same time, its very flexible. They also teach Bachata and not Just Salsa, so you can enjoy both as I did. The stuff is really nice, and they also have a Social party once a month so you can practice your moves. Best studio I tried!

I took my first salsa lesson with Mario and it was excellent. It was obvious that he is a professional and very good at what he does. I'm an adult male and i was a bit scared because have never been inside a dance studio. He was able to teach me some dance steps and I look forward to having additional classes. The facility is new with a very nice design and professional operation.

My partner and I came here for our first private salsa lesson. I was a little anxious as I have no dance experience/rhythm and also wasn't sure how they'd handle two men learning two dance together. Our instructor, David, was absolutely awesome. He didn't miss a beat (..) and had such an easy way of interacting with us. He made even a nervous nelly such as myself feel calm and confident. The studio was also very nice and modern. We could not have had a better experience with Silvia's, and will be back for another lesson from David soon!

My fiance and I wanted to learn how to dance before our wedding, and we were fortunate to have Jason Potell as an instructor. Jason helped us develop choreography that matched a song we loved, and we had lots of fun working on it. The other great thing was that he helped us figure out our own style, and coached us in a way that enabled us to dance better as a couple, rather than trying to get us to follow a prescriptive routine. Thanks to Jason, we learned a lot, and we also had a blast doing our first dance as husband and wife.

I have now taken lessons at Salsa with Silvia for over 3 months and several classes. I have no hesitation in saying that Salsa with Silvia is one of the best Salsa schools in the Wash DC/MD area. The instructors at the studio are just amazing. I have taken classes with three of them, Kelly, Jennifer and Joffre, and I enjoy each of their classes.
