Learn Salsa and Merengue in a fun, casual
environment!
Instructor Diana
Hoffman brings her years of experience and unique teaching
techniques to the floor as she steps you through the basics
all the way to advanced moves that will have you shining on
the dance floor in no time.
Join in on the fun and
don't worry if you have two left feet. There's a cure for
every kind of dance trauma... including the "Elaine
dance".
The KamaSalsa classes are designed in a street style salsa. Dance
patterns are directed in a cross body style. All footwork and patterns
are technically instructed based on an eight count rhythm with emphasis
on the first count of "one". Students are encouraged to express
themselves, have fun and get out and try new moves on the dance floor
and many other cultural events.
No partner
necessary!
