CLASSES

All classes include technique and balance exercises, including exercises to orient ourselves in space, and short playful routines. I carefully pick music to suit dance genres, keeping tempo in mind so the dancing can be enjoyable. I also offer cultural background information on the music and the steps we dance to complete the experience.

Intermediate & Advanced Salsa are paced for dancers who have been with me for a while, or have some Latin dance background.  I provide new students with tutorial videos to help them catch up. Class is live streamed on Fridays and Sundays at 11:00 am Pacific Time. To sign in please contact me.

Latin Dance Technique and Choreography is for those who prefer a slower pace. We spend a little more time in technique exercises and use music with a slower tempo. This class is offered through The Beat Berkeley Performing Arts on Mondays at 11:00. To sign in visit The Beat’s website and click on “Live streaming.”

Salsa By The Bay is an outdoor class developed from the well substantiated premise that physical and social connection boosts the immune system. In this class we dance-walk wearing masks and spacing at a 6-feet distance in sites along the Berkeley Marina. To sign in please contact me.

Private Group and Individual Classes are available. Please contact me directly.
