The start date for the next Beginner 1 course depends on the current schedule and enrollment. Please contact us via email or check our social media for the most up-to-date information on upcoming courses.

Each level has a different program, so the duration depends on your progress and instructor approval.

If you have experience in only one of the styles (e.g., mambo/salsa on2 or bachata), you cannot join the intermediate levels because both styles are required at this level. We recommend starting with Beginner 1 to build a strong foundation in the style you're less familiar with. However, if you're highly skilled in one style and feel confident transitioning to the other, we encourage you to speak with our instructors. They can assess your skills and suggest the best starting point for you, potentially allowing a faster progression through the beginner levels.
