Drop-in Classes

These classes are taught by Juan Hernandez and Erica Llamas.  They are on-going and are only canceled for certain holidays. 

Levels

• Beginner: Learn the basic steps to salsa dancing.  Class begins with a warm-up and review of basic footwork and then goes over the technique behind basic salsa patterns that will build the foundation for your salsa dancing.  Men will learn masculine movements from Juan, and ladies will also get some tips on ladies styling techniques and hand and arm styling from Erica.

• Intermediate: You must have a solid understanding of the basics to keep up in this class.  You will learn how to put a twist on the basic steps to create smooth salsa patterns.  Men will learn masculine movements from Juan as well as tips and tricks to leading the ladies properly.  Ladies will also get some tips on ladies styling techniques and hand and arm styling from Erica and will also learn how to add sexy styling to the pattern learned in class.

• Intermediate Performance Team: This is a group of people who have committed to learn a choreography to be performed at a later date.  In our case, it may take 6-8 months to learn, since we are only meeting once a week for 90 minutes.
  
  You will get special perks such as a discount on private lessons and group classes.  For example, a package of 6 private lessons is normally $375, you would get it for $300.  Group classes at Synergy are normally $15 each, you get it for $5 each.
  
  Monthly dues will be like a gym membership.  You pay whether you come or not.  If you know in advance that you will be taking a vacation, exceptions will be made on a case by case basis.  This is to ensure your commitment to the team.  If Juan and I cancel the class, you will get a makeup class.

There is a higher level of commitment with a performance team.  With the knowledge that you will one day perform this routine in front of an audience, you will practice harder and longer.  The best analogy I can think of is, if I know I will be in a bikini in the summer, I work out and eat better than in the winter when I'm all covered up.  This will take your dancing to a whole new level.  If you REALLY want to learn how to salsa dance, this is the way to do it!

Also, you will be getting BOTH Juan and me as your dance instructor!  That means, ladies I can focus on you more and give you more attention than I have in the past.  Gentlemen, you will FINALLY get to watch a man perform the movements.

Cost
$80 per month.
