With roots in Cuba and Africa, salsa dancing continues to grow in popularity largely in part to the amazing music. In addition to learning the rhythms of salsa, we'll also explore bachata dancing, a slower dance that originated in the Dominican Republic and is now danced all over the world. The music is sweet to listen to and is characterized by unique guitar sounds. Spice up your week as we learn both individual footwork and partnering. Couples and singles are welcome. Don't worry if you haven't danced before. This experience will take you step by step.

Please note: If attending as a couple, both dancers must register individually.
