Salsa: Emotion 101
For many people, our hectic lifestyles leave little room for building deep long term connections. We have cell phones, e-mail, and the Internet, but often feel less connected. We have extensive contact lists, but little actual contact. Dancing in general is a popular way to meet people, exercise, and have fun. Salsa dancing with its cultural richness, its connection to love and passion, and its popularity is a perfect way to express yourself and connect with others.

We invite you to learn Latin dance in a wonderful space and in a relaxed environment:

Salsa: As an Art of Seduction
If you are an experienced salsa dancer, you probably have an extensive library of moves that you can draw upon. Over time however, many dancers tend to focus on the "moves" rather than the "relationships" that are also being created. The dance experience becomes an arms race where dancers are caught up in the quantity of moves vs the quality of the experience. You are invited to try a new approach to salsa. One that connects building relationships with the love of dancing. Emotion to motion. Experience the art of seduction!

Let us help you create a pathway to a deeper connection:
