Our Downtown Sarasota studio is located just across the Ringling Causeway bridge from Bird Key!
What happens during my $35 intro lesson?
You meet your instructor, try basic steps in Salsa, Bachata, or Cha-Cha, and discuss your personal goals.
What shoes and clothes should I wear?
Wear comfortable street clothes that allow you to move freely, along with smooth-soled shoes (like dress shoes or leather soles) that glide easily on the floor.
