SALSA LEVEL 1
FOUNDATIONS
Level 1 is for dancers who already know the basic step and want real salsa flow. You'll learn inside and outside turns, variations, and smooth transitions using different hand holds and directions — the control, precision and connection that make you comfortable in any social setting.
Prerequisite: Completion of Level 0 (minimum 2 months) or equivalent salsa experience from another studio. This is a 4-month progressive syllabus. Most students spend 4–6 months in Level 1 before advancing to Level 2, subject to instructor approval.
Attire: Comfortable athletic attire and latin dance shoes (or dance sneakers / hard soles).
Days: Mondays & Thursdays 7–8:30 PM · 90-minute classes

Frequently asked
questions
Not necessarily. We ask for a minimum of two months in Level 0 or equivalent salsa experience from another studio — if you already dance, you can come straight into Level 1. If you've never trained On2, message us first and we'll place you in the right level.
If you know the basic step but still feel stuck in it — no traveling turns, unsure lead or follow, not comfortable social dancing yet — Level 1 is exactly where you belong. Don't guess: ask us and we'll tell you straight.
Yes. Monday and Thursday cover the same material within the same week, so you can come to whichever one fits. Just message us so we can update your spot.
At this level we recommend latin dance shoes, dance sneakers, or anything with a hard sole that lets you pivot. Avoid thick rubber soles — sneakers, boots, clogs or flip-flops grip the floor and fight your turns, which is exactly what Level 1 is about.
