Perfect for Commuters and Locals Alike
Our location near the Jefferson Park transit hub makes us a convenient stop on your way home. We offer group courses that meet once a week for four weeks, making it easy to build a routine. Beginners usually start with Salsa Level 1, where Dennis teaches the essential steps in a relaxed environment. If you happen to miss a week, we offer free make-up classes within four weeks of your start date, ensuring you don't fall behind.
In addition to salsa, we offer Cumbia, Argentine Tango, and Swing. For those who want to dive deeper into styles like Kizomba or Zouk, we offer private lessons by appointment. Private lessons are a great way to get personalized feedback and progress at your own pace, especially if your schedule varies from week to week.
A Social Destination on the Northwest Side
Beyond our weekly classes, we are a destination for social dancing. Our Friday Socials (1st and 3rd Friday of the month) are popular with residents from all over the Northwest Side, including Jefferson Park. For a $15 cover, you get a lesson at 7 PM and hours of social dancing. It's an affordable and fun alternative to a standard night out.
If you are planning a special event, such as a quinceañera or a wedding, we offer specialized choreography services. Our studio at Six Corners is the perfect place to rehearse your waltz or surprise dance. We pride ourselves on helping our neighbors from Jefferson Park feel confident on the dance floor for their most important milestones.
