Intro classes

First thing you learn

The basic salsa foot pattern and 6 variations of it.

These first foot patterns is were you start. Being able to do them alone will help with muscle memory in your legs and create comfort.

Second thing you learn

The Right Turn foot pattern.

With this, you already start to learn the foot patterns used when dancing with a partner.

Third thing you learn

Foot pattern for the Cross Body turn pattern.

Learn to do these foot patterns on your own first. This way you don't have to think of both your arms and feet at the same time. This is especially helpful to the guys who have more to learn.

Fourth thing you learn

Foot pattern for the Change of Place turn pattern.

Again...learn your foot work first, so you can learn comfortably. The more foot patterns you know, the easier it all is when you learn with a partner.

Fifth thing you learn

Salsa dancing with a partner.

First some simple basics called an open and a closed basic and then the Right Turn with a partner.

This is where you start dancing in couples.The leader starts to learn finesse and control while the ladies learn how to respond.

Sixth thing you learn

Cross Body Lead and the Change of Place turn patterns. Both with a partner.

These next two turn patterns along with the first one you learned will be what we build the whole dance on.

In total, including the base dance patterns, you will have learned 9 different dance patterns.
