Our salsa program specializes in creativity and expression.
We teach each student proper technique, while supplementing their program with ballet to create well-rounded dancers.
Later in their career, students will learn how to choreograph their own shows and perform their own creations. They also perform in our annual summer recital and take on various roles in our annual Nutcracker Show at the end of the year.
