Series Overview

4 Week Series: Fundamentals

A fast-paced beginner class that is meant to be retaken so you don’t have to commit to 6–8 week long classes. The series cycles for new students and for students who are retaking the series to develop muscle memory and build a strong foundation in their basics. Each cycle of the series, is a slightly different variation of the material.

What's it like taking Salsa Series 1?

  • 1st time BASICS: Exposure to the basics, learn timing and rhythm, retain at least 30% of the material.
  • 2nd time retaking BODY MECHANICS: Do the basics on your own, retain an extra 30%, focus on body movement
  • 3rd time retaking STYLING: Develop muscle memory of the basics. Retain an extra 40%, successfully execute basic combos. Add styling

Bachata Series 2 portion: The Bachata Series 2 portion is meant to be retaken as many times as you need. Most students find Bachata a little more challenging in terms of hip and body movement as it takes a lot of independent practice and body awareness to translate the knowledge into movement.

Note: Retention and progress depend on your background in body movement and dance.

About the Instructor:

Michelle’s passion for movement began in El Centro, California, where she has over 24 years of experience in gymnastics, ballet, karate, and 12 years of classical music, including choir and violin. These early experiences built her discipline, strength, flexibility, and body awareness. She later began her Latin dance journey at UC San Diego and now has over 8 years of experience in salsa and bachata. Read more...
