About This Workshop:

Step into the vibrant world of Afro-Cuban Salsa. Explore cultural roots, rhythm, musicality, and authentic technique while moving with intention and connection.

While dance naturally provides physical benefits such as improved coordination, balance, and stamina, this is not a fitness class or Zumba-style session. Instead, this workshop will be structured around learning and practicing real Salsa dance foundations and building toward a choreographed routine.
This experience will also foster creativity, self-expression, and social connection through the shared joy of dance.
Topics include:
- Core Salsa footwork and timing
- Afro-Cuban body movement and isolations
- Musical interpretation and rhythm training


About your instructor Alberto:

Price: $37.50 plus HST - non members must pay drop in guest fee plus workshop fee.

Limited spots available! NO REFUNDS. Guests must sign a digital guest waiver.
