Private Lessons
Private lessons are for individuals or couples who want to significantly improve their salsa skills and are not challenged by group lessons. If you prefer having individual instruction or if you would like to to learn exclusively with your partner one-on-one, private lessons are available (subject to schedule availability). It is recommended that you take private lessons occasionally to fine-tune your skills. You will learn tips on technique and styling that you may not otherwise be taught in a group class.
