Hello Dancers,

Our new business model has LAUNCHED! We are so excited. We think it will make things simpler and increase access to our class offerings. Like anything new, it will take some getting used to (and patience as we smooth out the wrinkles – it’s a learning curve for us, too!)

Thank you for your support as we navigate this transition!

If you are already a regular dancer at Candela, you will now need to sign up for class via our Vibefam software. You can download the Vibefam app, or text/call (541) 291-7900 and we’ll get you set up! NOTE: If you are an existing Ballroom or Line Dance student, you can continue to sign up directly through Vika and Maryann.

Here are some things to know below. We will pin this post for easy access, and update it as we go! :)

1) Signups will now be ONLINE (if this is a hardship for you, just text/call (541) 291-7900)

When I decided to add a “Rise & Shine Salsa” class at 9 a.m. on Mondays, I was pretty sure I’d be dancing by myself 🙂

But lo and behold, there are some adventurous souls who do want to start their week dancing! Today was the first day, and we had so much fun.

This is a very loosely structured class for all levels, so feel free to join us next week.

The best part? You can try it for FREE! (Just select “free trial class” at checkout)

Can’t wait until Monday? Join us tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug. 4) at Code 4 Taphouse for a special Salsa Bachata night! There’ll be a Bachata lesson with Sarah at 6 p.m. and dancing until 9 p.m. Code 4 will be marking their 1st anniversary, so we’re excited to help them celebrate! :)

Salsa? On Monday morning??
Unconventional? Yes!
Worth it? Yes! ;)

Start your week with a sizzle!

Join Melissa for Candela’s newest class: “Rise and Shine Salsa,” at 9 a.m. on Mondays, starting Aug. 3

This is a 45-minute class designed to kickstart your day with a Latin vibe and send you out into your week with a happy dance glow.

We’ll warm up with a Salsa “shines” (footwork) sequence. Then we’ll tailor the rest of the class to those in attendance: If there are leaders and followers, we’ll do some partnerwork! If it’s mostly followers, we may continue with more complex shines, or ladies’ styling.

Topics we’ll touch on this month include:

“Salsa On 1” (LA-style) vs. “Salsa On 2” (NY-style) – we’ll try both!

Dance frame and poise

Spin drills (traveling and stationary turns)

This will be a light and fun class, designed to get you moving and leave with a smile on your face :)

All levels welcome, no partner needed!

Candela is now offering FREE trial classes in every style!
