What people are saying
“I had zero dance experience and felt completely at home from day one. The class moves at a pace that lets you actually learn, not just keep up.”

“I came in nervous about not having a partner. Within two classes I was rotating through the floor and having fun. Highly recommend for true beginners.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a partner?
No. Students rotate partners during class, so you can come solo or with a friend — either works.
I have zero dance experience. Will I keep up?
Yes. Each class starts from the basics. Most students arrive with no salsa background. We break down footwork slowly and build up patterns together.
What should I wear?
Anything you can move in. Comfortable shoes with smooth-ish soles are ideal — avoid sticky rubber that grips the floor when you turn. Bring water.
Can I drop in for one class?
Absolutely. Drop-in is $30 per class — pay as you go, no commitment.
Do you offer refunds if I miss a class?
You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the class — just email us at licsalsaschool@gmail.com. Within 24 hours of the class, the booking is non-refundable.
