salsa Workshop Series — PLEASE READ 💃
Your ticket includes:
• All 3 parts of our progressive salsa workshop
• 1 social dance night at castaways ( salas before sunset)
• A full month of dancing, practice, community, and real progress
• One ticket covers everything — no add-ons needed
This is a true progressive series — each class intentionally builds on the last so you actually grow week to week.
Classes are advanced-beginner to low-intermediate friendly.
(If you're brand-new, our regular socials are beginner-friendly!)
WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS WORTH IT
• You actually improve.
Most classes teach random patterns each week. This workshop is intentionally structured so you build rhythm, timing, connection, and usable partnerwork.
• You won’t feel lost.
We keep the level consistent and the pacing supportive. Everyone’s here to learn — not judge.
• You build a dance crew.
Three classes + a social = a built-in community. People make real friends in these workshops.
• You get real-world practice.
The included salsa before susnet social gives you a perfect chance to try your skills in a welcoming, lively environment.
• It’s an insane value.
Three classes + one social + multiple instructors + structured progression…
This would normally run $150–$250 elsewhere.
We keep it accessible so Chicago can dance.
WHO THIS IS FOR
• People who want to level up their salsa
• Anyone who can keep a beat and wants structure + real progress
• Dancers who want confidence for salsa on a School Night
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
• Someone looking for a one-time “try it once” class — this is a progressive workshop
