Saturday Salsa and New Swing Classes in La Mesa.

Two exciting Salsa Classes are held Saturday afternoons in La Mesa. I am very excited to offer two progressive salsa classes at a wonderful coffee, juice and internet cafe called @SpaceBar in La Mesa, CA. They have a nice little dance floor that will accommodate our classes. My Beginning Salsa Class meets Saturday at 1:00pm for 4 weeks in August and cost is just $30. I will also teach Intermediate Salsa at 2:00pm. Additionally at 3:00pm I will teach an introductory progressive class in East Coast Swing. This is also a 4 week series that will start on Saturday 14 August. Due to space limitations please register by calling @SpaceBar at (619) 461-7100. @SpaceBar is located at 7454 University Avenue, Suite A, La Mesa, CA 91942. www.atspacebar.com I'm really excited about teaching at this wonderful new venue. Please plan on joining me for sizzling salsa followed by some delicious refreshments.

Beginning Group Classes

All of our group classes focus on getting you, the beginner started. We will always instruct you on basic steps and excellent technique to get you started dancing quickly. The beginning classes also focus on important elements such as movement, timing and styling to make sure your introduction to each dance is thorough and enjoyable.

As you progress in your dancing and gain greater confidence, we will challenge you with more intermediate level material and technique to add to your dance repetoire.
