Classes

Group Instruction

Salsamania instructors regularly teach classes at clubs and studios around the SF Bay Area where students can learn in a relaxed social environment. Most classes are on a drop-in basis and draw large groups of beginner and intermediate students. Students can start at any time. Train with world salsa champions, winners of over 150 medals, and acclaimed legendary world class dance instructors. The classes cover all elements of salsa including the basic steps, individual footwork, and partnering patterns.

Intensive Training

John & Liz also run 2-3 month long training series several times throughout the year: “On 1” and “On 2 Beginners” training teams for advanced beginner and intermediate dancers and an “On 2” team for intermediate and advanced dancers as part of Salsamania Dance Company’s training program. Regular training series take place in Oakland, CA, as well as San Jose, CA and Sacramento, CA. In 2009, John & Liz founded Salsamania Seattle, which has grown to over 50 dancers in both training and choreography teams.
