Beginner Salsa on2 & Bachata
MONDAY Nights 7pm
This is the perfect combo class for beginners where all the fundamentals are introduced and practiced as much as possible. Mondays we get into the groove of training with New York Style Salsa/Mambo and Dominican Bachata. The beginner class is 55 minutes and splits the time between both dances. Monday Nights 7:00pm. Arrive by 6:45pm on the first day. Learn footwork, fun partnered dance patterns and "styling" that helps you build your individual style. As you progress, the musicality sinks in.
Training note:Beginners typically take a good year to establish a comfortable foundation for social dancing so the more repetition you have, as in all fitness training, you will have better results. Dancing is a sport, so bring that mindset and be patient with your progress.
SALSA ON2 Level II
MONDAY Nights 8pm
This is the ideal class for you if you have taken a previous beginner course, or feel really good about your fundamentals.
We expand your vocabulary, emphasize coordination and begin to train your spinning. 2 MONTH SERIES
This is a great cross-training class. ALL dancers are welcome.
Bachata & Salsa on2 Level II
WEDNESDAYS 8pm-9pm
Train twice per week for optimal results!
This class expects the best from every dancer. Your instructor will help propel you to your next level of dance. Personal expression is prime! Partnered patterns will feel better when you strengthen the elements that contribute to a great social dance. Spinning, styling and musicality develop with time. Each month, the instructor integrates a new Latin rhythm: Pachanga, Boogaloo, Rumba and Cha Cha Cha are examples.

As a young performer trained in Peruvian folk dance, Vanessa successfully booked a tour with the Cecilia Bracamonte's folkloric ballet for their United States tour. She pursued and completed dual degrees in Theatre and Dance at the University of Washington. She dedicated an extra year of academic study exploring the impact of AfroPeruvian dance and music on Peruvian culture culminating in academic lecture-demonstrations, undergraduate dance classes and public presentations. She travelled to Lima, Ica and Trujillo to conduct oral interviews with primary sources including AfroPeruvian music and dance pioneers. Her ethnographic study at compared and analyzed the various approaches of diffusing folklore across generations and reflected on the distinctions between University and Academy School dance pedagogy. This experiential knowledge shapes her approach and sensibility to teaching and coaching movement influenced by diaspora traditions.
Beyond her passion for heritage and the promotion of culture and art in everyone's life, Vanessa Villalobos is a professional dancer with a performance track in competitive Ballroom Latin, including Theatre Arts, and commercial dance. She is featured in the blockbuster documentary hit, MadHot Ballroom as herself, a Youth Dance Adjudicator, and in Walt Disney's original film, Enchanted as a Principle Dancer. Ms. Villalobos is certified in American Ballroom Rhythm & Smooth and trained extensively in International Latin with New York favorites Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin. Dance is a lifestyle she cherishes and vastly enjoys introducing this human art form to people that come through the studio.
