ZUMBA:
Fitness based dance for both men and women. No experience necessary.
Zumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that
blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy Award-winning
producers, and contagious steps to form a "fitness-party" that is
downright addictive. Since its inception in 2001, Zumba Fitness has
grown to become the world’s largest – and most successful – dance-fitness
program with more than 10 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages
taking weekly Zumba classes in over 90,000 locations across more than 110
countries. The Zumba program is effective, exhilarating, and
easy-to-follow. It achieves the perfect balance of a progressive core
workout, full-body cardio and strength training, and a stress-relieving,
energy-producing fitness experience. Wear workout clothes and bring
a water bottle!
SALSA SUELTA:
Salsa Suelta means "loose salsa" - salsa danced without
a partner. Similar to rueda de casino, salsa suelta is initiated when
people want to party and dance together as a larger group. But instead of
dancing in a circle as in rueda, salsa suelta is danced in lines. It is
like a step routine combined with imaginative gestures and moves that have
evolved from a variety of Cuban dance traditions including rumba, orishas,
son, cha cha cha, mambo, casino, and the modern influences of timba and
hip hop. Salsa suelta is an easy-going dance style that can be learned as
you go, and because there is no partner involved, it can be danced
anywhere, in almost any situation. It will greatly improve your timing,
skills, creativity and footwork when on the dance floor!
SALSA LEVEL 2
No partner required. Pre-requisites: Absolute Beginner or other.
This class begins with a review of the basic salsa step and patterns from
Absolute Beginner class. From there you will learn a minimum of 5 patterns
combining Cuban, LA and NY Salsa moves, footwork, patterns and turns!
After you have successfully completed this class, you can move on to
Intermediate Salsa Patterns or Rueda de Casino! Students can wear whatever

BACHATA
Beginner Level, Previous Latin dance experience an asset but not

Bachata, like Merengue, originates from the Dominican Republic. Bachata
dance consists of certain simple steps that create a back and forth as
well as a sideway motion. Bachata can be distinguished by the romantic

choreography. Women taking the class are encouraged to wear heels/ballroom
