Guest Instructor Tim Wegert returns March 24th 6-8pm

Tim Wegert will be returning to SLD to teach a two hour workshop on March 24th from 6-8pm.

For intermediate and advanced level dancers. You do NOT need to be a salsa dancer to attend! Zouk, bachata, kiz dancers are very welcome.

This workshop will focus on exploring the ways our body can naturally move, isolate, and create shapes. Then let's translate that to a comfortable experience for our partner as we explore and flow together.

Drop-in classes with Tim are $30 for the two hour workshop and ALL proceeds go directly to the instructor. Students already enrolled in Intermediate Salsa do not have to pay to attend this workshop, it is included in your pass.

If you plan on attending, simply email or text me at 760.473.5206 to reserve your spot. You can pay in advance or bring cash that day. We ONLY have room for 10 dancers in this workshop!

The absolute diehards at our last Fundamentals class of the year! Thank you for braving the snow, sleet, ice, and freezing cold 🥶 let's go to México next year instead?

Our winter Beginner Salsa course is 2 hours long with 3 instructors and 3 additional advanced dancer helpers. You'll be dancing with an experienced dancer, or at least someone who has taken the class once before, most of the time. We'll get you ready to hit the dance floor in 3 months! This is a beginner friendly class, but not accessible friendly. Be ready to learn and to sweat!

Fundamentals is accessible and senior friendly, we dance merengue with some bachata. SUPER beginner level. We can work with most mobility issues and you can take lots of breaks.

Body Movement is for salseros and bachateros of all levels. This is an individualized, self-paced class where we explore primarily hip and upper body motion. Beginners will learn to move, advanced dancers will be challenged. Unless you're Shakira, this class is for you.
