Private Lessons

These lessons are a great way to sharpen or fine tune your salsa dancing skills because you will be given special instruction by both or either a female and/or a male instructor. They give you an edge because many dance secrets and pointers are revealed. Each move is also explained in many different ways until the student completely understands it.

Private or semi-private lessons are available by appointment only and the pricing varies depending on number of people and location.

Beginner Levels

Joel & Jessica introduce the fundamentals of salsa: rhythm and timing, basic steps or footwork, following & leading techniques, weight change or weight distribution, hand placements, posture, framework, spotting, and more. We have divided our Beginner Classes into 3 Levels.  After completing our beginner classes you should know all of the basics of Salsa!

Intermediate/Advanced Levels

Joel & Jessica have designed this class for those who already have a comfortable understanding of all the elements of the beginning class. We introduce advanced elements and techniques for leading & following, advanced footwork, multiple turn combinations, complex move sequences, spinning, styling and more.

Casino Rueda

Casino Rueda also known as Rueda Casino is a Cuban dance that began in the mid 20th century. It was popularized in Miami and it’s now danced all over the world. What does the name mean? Casino came from when the people in Cuba used to get together in large halls called “Casinos” and “Rueda” means wheel. This type of dance is a form of dance in a round or circle where two or more couples exchange partners when one person calls out the turn names. The basic or core steps are danced in a similar fashion around the world. This type of dance is all about having fun! Because of the name translation and name difficulty, we will give you a written outline of the steps learned each day.


What to Wear for Our Classes?
We recommend comfortable clothing and leather or other smooth-bottom shoes to avoid difficulty in executing spins and turn patterns.

Please NO-tennis shoes or sandals

Where to Park?
There is plenty of free parking
