My first experience with Salsa was last Spring at the Jazz Kitchen. I hadn't a clue what everyone was doing, but it looked like a blast. In the weeks following, I signed up for a class at IntoSalsa. I've always been on the shy side, so I entered with a bit of hesitation, but I found that Yang and Erin provided not only great instruction, but also a very encouraging and relaxed environment.

Through my salsa classes, Rueda group, and going out to the clubs, I have found this community filled with a wonderful group of people whose passion for dancing and life have helped to enrich my own. Not only are the salsera/salsero’s personalities warm and engaging, but just sitting and watching everyone dance is such a joy. Of course, I prefer to take part, but watching is certainly a close second. I'm definitely still a work in progress, and can't promise not to stumble a bit or make a goofy face…but if you’re game, I’d love to dance.
