From Mike: We meet every Monday for a night of Salsa Rueda from 7 - 9 pm. Dancers are welcome for the entire two hours. The first hour is for dancing and review. New material is covered in the second hour. Beginners should come from 7-8pm. Lessons follow a standard syllabus of Rueda moves that are commonly used in the Balt/DC area. We also feature hot, flashy moves that will have people mesmerized. We focus on adapting Rueda moves taught in class for use in one-on-one partnered salsa (Crossbody On1). Lessons are $10 per student. We'll have you dancing in circles.

Progressive latin dance lessons are almost every night of the week at this location. Prices vary.  Click here for class schedule.  Dress code is very casual and parking is abundant.
