Spice up YOUR LIFE with SALSA!

• The easiest way to meet new people of all ages and cultures.

• Great exercise for your body and helps you to develop coordination of mind and muscle.
• Encourages good posture.
• Allows you to relax after work and makes you feel alive!

• Promotes self confidence.
 
I have never taken a dance class, do you have classes for beginners?
There is absolutely no need to have had any experience for the beginners Salsa classes as the focus is on the basic steps, rhythm and style necessary to progress to the next levels. Salsa Mía offers all levels from beginners to advanced.

If you are taking Cuban style salsa for the first time, you should start in level 1 and gradually move up as you build a solid foundation, feel more comfortable with the steps and begin to feel the rhythm and the music. The instructors will let you know when you are ready to advance to each level. Group classes are the best way to make good friends in a social environment while building your dancing confidence.

 
What should I wear?
Dress for comfort so you can concentrate on learning but make sure to bring a second shirt or a change of clothes so that you can dress to impress for the nightclub that starts immediately after the classes.
 
Do I need special shoes?
We recommend that you wear leather-soled shoes or salsa dance shoes. Rubber bottomed shoes can stick to the tile floor during turns and spins. Proper dance shoes make all the difference in the world in your ability to dance. They are light weight, flexible and offer good support for balance and control of movement. We have dance shoes for sale at the classes for both men and women but you can also find them online or at Dancing Supplies Depot here in Miami. We suggest going to the store to try them on for a good fit.

What will I learn and how many classes will I need in each level to learn how to dance?
The best way to progress is by practicing regularly. Join us Tuesdays, Fridays & Sundays for group classes. We also recommend taking at least an hour of private lessons each week so that you can receive personalized attention and advance faster in your dancing skills.
