We couldn’t end the year without a little message from Ariana, Milena, and Toshi, the Fall 2022 DeCal Instructors 🫶

This instruction team showed up every week to make sure that their students could learn, release some tension from school, and end their days dancing to the best rhythms!

They are incredibly grateful with everyone who contributed to all the fun and success of this semester, & can’t wait to keep on growing the Salsa at Cal Familia :)

Good luck on finals!!!

Con mucho amor,

Salsa at Cal
