Saturday Night

8 Week Salsa & Bachata Semester

**7PM – Salsa On2 Foundations**
Start your evening with the vibrant energy of Salsa On2. This Level 1 course guides you through timing, footwork, and partner work in a fun, supportive setting—no experience needed. You’ll move with purpose, feel the music, and build real confidence on the dance floor.
**8PM – Bachata Basics**
Then slow it down with our Bachata Level 1 class. Smooth, grounded, and packed with flavor, this course teaches you the essentials—from basic steps to connection and flow. It’s easy to get into, and hard to stop once you start.
**Mondays at Viva Collective Studios 901 N Tryon Street**
**Thursdays at YVY Camp North End - 1701 N. Graham**
**7pm - Salsa On2**
**8pm Bachata**
No partner needed. Just bring your curiosity and a good vibe—let the music take care of the rest.
