What is Salsa?

Salsa is a Latin dance influenced by several styles, like mambo and rumba. The dance is characterized by energetic footwork, spins, and turns. This is one of the most popular class series offered at Century.

Listed below are the Salsa classes we offer. We don’t always offer every class, so make sure to check the Class Schedule to see what is offered each session.

Classes we offer

Prerequisite: None

Bring the sauce into your partner dancing. You’ll learn basic footwork, patterns, and turns of this wildly popular, easy-to-learn dance. Students in Salsa 1 get free entry to the salsa practica on Monday nights, a two-hour social dance where you can practice your skills with other dancers. 

Salsa On1 1 Crash Course is the same class, just taught in 3 weeks (4 hours total).

Prerequisite: None

This class covers the same material as Salsa On1 1 in a non-rotating format. Great for a couples night out or two friends wanting to learn to dance together!

Salsa On1 1 or equivalent experience
 

(Salsa On1 2a and 2b can be taken in either order or concurrently.) After you’ve mastered the basics and feel ready to step up your sauciness, Salsa On1 2a and 2b will help you achieve just that: more advanced steps and techniques coupled with increasingly complex arm and foot patterns. These classes focus on different material and can be taken in either order. For those of you who can’t get enough and are itching to get to the next level, Salsa On1 2a and 2b may also be taken during the same class session.

Salsa On1 2a AND 2b at least one time each
 

(Salsa On1 3a-d can be taken in any order.) Ready to add a little extra flavor to your Cross-Body Lead Inside Turns? In Salsa 3 we teach you more complicated patterns that will put the sizzle in your Salsa. Double spins (for the leads as well), Copas, Texas Tommies, and much more! We have four sections of this class (Salsa On1 3a, Salsa 3b, etc…) that rotate from month to month and which you may take in any order and as many times as you want!
