The Salsa Beat

What dancers say

• “I would give 10 stars if I could! As someone who has grown up in the dance world for the past 30+ years, this studio truly stands apart from the rest! I was so impressed with how organized the class was and how exceptional the teaching is! Loved the variety of what was covered in the class. The instructors of The Salsa Beat create such a fun and positive learning environment! I'm truly so grateful to be part of this amazing community and am counting down the days until our next lesson!”

• “When I think about how I learned salsa, I took one formal ballroom dance class back in college, and the rest of my learning has been from experience of social dancing. It’s interesting unpacking the “whole” into small parts, and seeing the design up close… like taking an anatomy class;) It’s also empowering as a follower to have a deeper understanding of patterns, and more agency, as opposed to depending on the lead to know what they’re doing. 🙃🙀😉 Yesterday, in particular, I learned from Erica to think about my neck and frame:) Erica and Juan are constantly filling the learning space with tips and pointers-artfully, with metaphors and humor. 💙 As a teacher, I’m also enjoying the perspective of a being a student. I’d love to continue:) Juan and Erica have created something admirable -their great curriculum design delivered with positive energy, style, and expertise deserve to be celebrated.💕”

• “Hi Juan & Erica, I just wanted to thank you for an amazing 6 weeks of dance classes!! You’ve created a wonderful environment that’s welcoming, fun and positive. There are so many things to love about your classes and system. This experience has given me back some of my confidence after becoming so discouraged dancing in SD. I leave class each week with my heart full of joy like I used to feel in the early years of my salsa obsession. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your classes and students. It’s clear you both truly love what you do.”
