Is This Class for You?
This Advanced Beginner (Beginner Level 2) series is a bridge between beginner and intermediate, ideal if you’ve taken a handful of classes, completed a beginner course, or have danced socially and want to keep growing without feeling rushed.
This class is ideal for dancers who:
-Can recognize the difference between Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue rhythms and feel comfortable with the basic steps.
-Want a supportive, structured space that adapts to the group’s level and interests, focusing on partner work, turns, and confidence building.
-Are interested in building confidence and connection through movement and joy in a welcoming, gender-inclusive, community-centered space.
If you’re still getting comfortable with rhythm, basic steps, or differentiating between styles, we recommend starting with our Beginner Series - Level 1 first: Lapena.info/SBM
BONUS: All participants receive one complimentary entry to ¡BAILA! , La Peña’s monthly dance party featuring live salsa, dance classes, and DJs. The perfect place to practice what you’ve learned in a joyful, community-centered environment
All are welcome. No partner required!
