🚨 Class Cancellation – Severe Weather Alert 🚨

Hey everyone, due to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and Tornado Watch in our area, tonight’s Salsa Essentials class is canceled.

Your safety is always the top priority, and with conditions like this, it’s best to stay home and off the roads.

We’ll be back next week ready to dance, connect, and make up for lost time 💃🕺

Until then stay safe, stay alert, and keep those dance moves strictly indoors tonight.

🕺 Beginner Salsa: 5:30 – 6:30 PM
💃 Intermediate Salsa: 6:30 – 7:30 PM

Same energy. Same vibes. Just a little earlier so we can keep things flowing smoothly 😎

Bring your best attitude, your dancing shoes, and maybe a friend who “swears they have no rhythm”…we’ll fix that 😉

See you on the floor 🔥

Quick Salsa Essentials Update

There will be no class this week, but we’ll be back at it soon!

Classes resume Tuesday, March 17, and we’ll pick up right where we left off with more rhythm, more connection, and more fun on the dance floor.

Take the week to practice your basics…or at least listen to some salsa and pretend you’re practicing. 😉

See everyone next week!

This is something I see every week in Salsa Essentials.

People walk in thinking they’re just learning steps…but their brain is doing something much bigger.

Leading, following, timing, balance, reacting to music, and remembering patterns all at the same time.

That’s why dance feels challenging at first and why it’s so powerful for the brain.

You’re not just learning salsa.

You’re building new neural pathways. 🧠💃

💃🕺 No Salsa Essentials This Week! 🕺💃

Salsa Essentials will be taking a brief pause this week because I’ll be supporting an incredible cause at Another Doggone Trivia Night at Niabi Zoo 🐾

This special event features guest speaker Dr. Greg Rasmussen from Painted Dog Research (PDR), Zimbabwe, Niabi’s long-time conservation partner. He’ll be sharing powerful stories about African painted dogs and the collaborative conservation efforts helping protect this amazing species in the wild.

✨ Event Details:
• $30 per person
• Includes one drink ticket, snacks, trivia, and a donation to PDR
• All proceeds support painted dog conservation in the field

If you’re free, I’d love for you to join and support a truly meaningful cause. It’s a great way to give back, learn something fascinating, and have a fun night out.

Here’s the event link:

We’ll be back to dancing next week — saving wildlife first, salsa spins second. 🐾💃
