A certain level of experience is recommended. It will be assumed that you have met the following milestones:

  • Able to perform the basic steps without thinking mentally
  • Understand the basics of the Crossbody Lead
  • Understand the basics for performing Turns

Little effort will be taken to explain the basic steps during the intermediate lessons. Money will not be refunded after payment.

Dennis Gearon, Dance InstructorEvery 2nd Tuesday of the Month: Salsa

How does one move, think, and learn like a dancer, and be relaxed while social dancing with new moves? Come to a class taught by Dennis at JSmooth Salsa! From the first minute class starts, your mind and body are exposed to exercises, information, and practices that when used will shorten the awkward stages of being a beginner OR transitioning to being an intermediate dancer. Most of the class time consists of learning a practical, no pressure set of moves that are combined into a pattern because they fit the music and present concepts useful for the the students dancing life. Preceding that are 15 minutes of Latin dancing warm up exercises, cross genre dancer stretches, and very focused basic movement practices. Teaching experience has taught Dennis that repeated exposure, eventual learning, and finally regular practice of everything in the class WILL lead to more enjoyable dancing, and better socialising and playing while dancing, (because the brain and the body don't have to work so hard while dancing!)
