NEW TO SALSA?
If you’ve ever wanted to learn Salsa but felt nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin — you’re in the right place. Our Beginner Salsa Intensive was designed with you in mind.
No partner? No problem.
Two left feet? We’ve seen it — and we know how to help.
All you need is the courage to walk through the door. From there, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
ALREADY DANCING?
If you’ve already taken classes but feel like something’s missing, we know the feeling.
Our intermediate and advanced programs are built to help you clean up your technique, deepen your musicality, and reconnect with what made you fall in love with dance in the first place.
We’re not here to throw fancy combos at you. We’re here to help you move with clarity, control, and intention — so your dancing feels as good as it looks.
For me, working with Del is a genuine exchange of the joy of dance. He focuses on getting you seriously prepared for your dance journey, always pushing you to reach for your full potential…the teaching style reflects his character, caring about his students both as dancers and as people. He reminds you to never take yourself too seriously, and most importantly, he makes the whole learning process fun! It’s a pleasure to learn from Del ❤️
Del once told me that I would give up on me before he gave up on me, and he was right! Del is so patient. I’m not the quickest learner or the best dancer, but he’s very attuned to the strengths and weaknesses of his students. Because of that, my skills have improved. He’s a very observant instructor. He’s an awesome dancer. And he’s very passionate about Salsa/Mambo. If you’re intimidated by the thought of privates, as I was, don’t be!
