FAQs
WHAT IF I CANNOT ATTEND ALL 4 CLASSES IN THE 4-WEEK SESSION?
If you are unable to attend all 4 weeks, there are no "make up" classes as a new session begins after the previous one ends. If you have to miss one class out of the four class session we can get you caught up. If you are not able to commit to a 4-week class, or if the days we teach beginner classes do not work for you, please contact us for private lesson options as an alternative to learn the Level 1 material.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALSA ON1 and SALSA ON2
The two most common Salsa timings for social dancing are On1 and On2. The difference is the timing related to when you step your forward break or back break. We offer 4-week beginner class sessions in both Salsa On1 and Salsa On2 that start at the beginning of each month.
WHAT happens after completing level 1?
Many students retake Level 1. Because we strongly believe a solid foundation is important, we offer retakes at a 50% discount. If you plan to retake Level 1, please email us at [email protected] to sign up and receive the discount. When a student feels ready to move up to Level 2, an instructor will "test out" the student to assess if he/she is ready to move up to Level 2.

We teach our beginner classes in a 4-week progressive session. Students do not need a partner to sign up because we rotate partners during class. Each class is structured so that the material builds on what the student learned the previous week. At the end of the 4- week session, many students decide to retake Level 1 until they feel comfortable with the fundamentals before testing out to move into Level 2. Because we believe strongly in a solid foundation, we offer retakes of Level 1 at a 50% discount. Please email us at [email protected] to request to retake the class and we will invoice you with the discount.

Practice Socials
Practice Socials are designed to provide students with an opportunity to practice what they have learned in a supportive environment that is similar to a dance social but like a class in that it also provides students the opportunity to ask questions. A mix of Salsa and Bachata music will play continuously for the two hours. SCDC's instructors will be available during this block of time to social dance, answer questions, help students with specific techniques, etc. Practice Socials are also a great opportunity for beginner level students to receive one-on-one help. The Practice Social is included in the beginner package for the month you sign up so don't miss it! They typically fall on the Monday after the 4th class in the session. For example, if you take the January session your included practice social falls on February 3, 2025.
