Mondays at 7pm.
Experienced dancers
You can join our Level II classes weekly at 8pm on Monday and Wednesdays. As the weather shifts to sunnier days, find new motivation with Latin Rhythms. If you have prior Salsa experience and have danced "On1" or "Casino" then our Monday 8pm Salsa on2 is the best fit. This class emphasizes the New York style timing that will help you transfer what you know to the timing practices with dancing Mambo or Salsa on2.
Our classes also help you build community.
Social dancing is about being social so as you progress through all the fundamentals, vocabulary and turn patterns, you will also gain more confidence in putting yourself "out there" in the Seattle social dance scene. Seattle is a great place to connect with a stranger via dance!
Beginners that progress through the Monday Level 1 class, are encouraged to repeat to reinforce and/or move to the Wednesday 8pm Salsa & Bachata Level II class so you develop proficiency in both dances: Salsa & Bachata. Our Wednesday Salsa & Bachata II class focuses on expanding your dance vocabulary, agility and body isolations.

I am so grateful to have contributed to this production and feel so much appreciation for every person from the 200+ member staff and union members it takes to get everything so tight.
