We are bringing New York Style Salsa to York, PA! In the months of December and January there will be workshops. Each workshop will focus on the foundations of Salsa movement, emphasizing both partnered and solo work in an environment that is fun, enthusiastic, and paced for success. You do not need a partner and experience is helpful, but not necessary. We encourage you to sign up for these at any level because Saturday, February 25th will kick off our first Latin dance social!
Jasmin will be providing music and lesson for the upcoming Latin socials, so we are hoping that these workshops might serve as an introduction. Jasmin has an infectious, dancing spirit and we look forward to welcoming her talented family in York.
