The Art of Salsa Dance is back!
This Spring 2026, we are offering two classes:
Beginner (6:00pm - 7:00pm)
Advanced Beginner / Intermediate (7:00pm - 8:00pm)
Register for this event date below!
Join us every Wednesday for a fun and welcoming Salsa dance class where you’ll learn:
Essential On1 technique
Partner work
Basic shines (solo footwork)
Musical foundations that shape the many styles of salsa
Beginner: No prior dance experience needed! Students will learn a style of salsa known as On1, including the basic step, a few basic shines (footwork), and beginner partner work (such as turns) that will help you start moving confidently around the dance floor.
Advanced Beginner / Intermediate: Previous knowledge and understanding of the On1 basic step and partner work is needed, including commonly taught elements such as basic right turns and the cross-body-lead. This class builds on the Beginner level, moving at a faster pace with a wider variety of partner combinations.
All classes are open to adults and teens (ages 12+). Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes—and bring your energy!
The Art of Salsa Dance is an arts education program that explores salsa’s roots, celebrating its vibrant history from the South Bronx to the world.
This program is supported in part by public funds from the Jersey City Arts and Culture Trust Fund, and presented by Kenia Rosete Dance in collaboration with The Learning Center.
