Class Descriptions and Levels:

Basic Salsa – Available for people with no experience or less than 4-6 lessons. We will teach on the 1 and cover basic step, right and left hand turns, cross body lead, cross body lead inside turn, two hand turns, hammerlocks, hair combs. We will introduce dancing basic on 2 at the end.

Country Western Two Step- Basic 6 beat two step with turns, cornering, promenades, and some fancy stuff if can get to it

Zydeco- Great Louisiana dance. Basic step, turns, cheats, spins

Cajun Two Step- Lively 8 count polka step with cornering, turns, promenades. For happy lively people though the French lyrics sometimes are quite dark. There is this one joyful happy tune which I later learned in translation from Cajun French was The Gates of Hell.

Waltz (Contra Style) – This is the type of waltz seen in the Contra dance community which is a turning waltz, not cross step, that is faster than Ballroom or Country Western typically 110-140 bpm done to traditional or contemporary Americana music.
