Salsa Training

Group Instruction

Salamania instructors regularly teach classes at various clubs and studios around the SF Bay Area where students can learn in a relaxed social environment. Most classes are on a drop-in basis and draw large groups of beginner and intermediate students. Students can start at any time. Train with world salsa champions, winners 156 Medals and acclaimed legendary world class dance instructors. The classes cover all elements of salsa including the basic step, individual footwork, and partnering patterns.

When I started Salsamania I was a 275lb software engineer. In the three years I have danced with Salsamania, I have lost 90lbs, improved my dancing, and gained confidence on and off the dance floor. John and Liz have been great teachers, coaches, and friends and are an integral part of my transformation.
Zach from Seattle

Since I started training with Salsamania, I rediscovered my passion for dancing. It has been a challenging and fun journey which has taken me to meet amazing people and given me the opportunity to perform at some of the biggest congresses and competitions across the US. More than anything, I have found a friendly and supportive environment that allows me to keep developing skills useful in other aspects of my life.

Jose from Seattle

This is not a drop-in class. You actually get a printable syllabus! I tried to run away on my first class. Thank you Liz for catching me at the door and bringing me back. You guys gave me so much happiness winning competitions, performing, and social dancing.
