About this Event

Ready to take your salsa to the next level? Salsa lessons in Marin will help you to add some flair and fluidity to your salsa dancing.

Pre-requisite: Salsa Beginners 1 – You know your basic steps, left turn, right turn, cross-body lead, and you hold your frame.

What You’ll Learn

We’ve curated a curriculum designed to build your confidence and your “social dance” vocabulary:

• The Cross Body Lead (CBL) Series: Master both Inside and Outside Turns, the essential building blocks for moving your partner across the floor with grace.
• The “I Turn – You Turn”: A classic social dance staple that develops timing and hand-change coordination.
• The Walk-Through: Learn how to transition smoothly through the dance space without breaking your rhythm.
• Footwork & Shine: We’ll break down the footwork pattern that adds personality to your “shines.”

Technique & Artistry

Dancing is about more than just where your feet go. In this level, we dive deeper into the “how”:

• The Frame: Understand the “tension and compression” needed to lead and follow clearly without using muscle.
• Upper Body Mechanics: Learn how to isolate your ribcage and shoulders to move with that authentic Latin soul.
• Connection: Developing a “heavy” but responsive arm connection to ensure your partner feels every lead.

Important Details

• No dance experience required: Whether you’ve never danced before or it’s been a while, you’re welcome here!
• No partner necessary: Come solo or bring a friend—either way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to dance.
• Please wear non-marking shoe soles: This helps us keep our dance floor in great condition.
