6-Week Progressive Series
Saturdays at 11:00 AM
2/28/26 – 4/4/26
$100 for the full series
Progressive program — no drop-ins allowed
This series is designed for dancers who have completed our Advanced Beginner Salsa On2 level and are ready to strengthen their foundation while continuing to grow.
The focus of this level is refining the basics at a deeper level. Rather than simply adding more patterns, we will work on improving technique, control, timing, and overall confidence — both individually and with a partner.
Throughout the 6 weeks, dancers will develop:
• Stronger timing and rhythm consistency
• Cleaner turn technique and improved balance
• Better body awareness and control
• Smoother transitions between movements
• Expanded partnerwork combinations
• Increased confidence in social dance settings
This is the level where fundamentals become solid and intentional. Each week builds on the previous one, helping you move with more clarity, fluidity, and comfort on the dance floor.
Because this is a structured progressive program, enrollment is required for the full 6 weeks to ensure proper development and continuity.
