Group Classes Timings

Level 1 to 3

Beginner

Designed for absolute newbies, the first level focuses on basic footwork, rhythm, and social confidence. This is where your journey begins. We assume zero experience and focus on building a robust "muscle memory" for the dance.

Tuesday 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Friday 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm

Sunday 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm

Level 4 to 6

Intermediate

These batches are for those with prior experience and who have trained in salsa for at least 4-6 months. This level moves away from single moves and toward "flow," with more focus on body movement techniques and intermediate partner work combinations for social dancing.

Wednesday 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm

Level

Advance

This batch is for those who have learned salsa for at least a year. If you want to make salsa more than a hobby, this is the batch for you! The classes will be fast-paced and technical, we will focus on precision, performance, and musical nuance.

Pooja Temkar

Rhea has opened up an entire world of Latin dance forms for me, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life!

While I've always enjoyed dancing and have tried to learn various dance forms, nothing has connected with me quite like salsa and bachata—and I owe it all to her.
