ESENCIA

esencia - essence,

the purest core of something

Where every serious dancer starts, or returns to.

Launching September 2026.

Every dancer starts somewhere. This is where you go when you want to get there properly.

Find where you belong.

Solo dance classes for everyone.

ALMA

alma - soul,

the spirit within

 

Where your foundation finds its voice.

FUEGO

fuego - fire,

the burning energy within

 

Where you go when good is no longer enough.

ESENCIA - The Foundation

Not just a beginners class. The backbone of everything.

Esencia is where every serious dancer starts - or returns to. Whether you have never danced before or have been dancing for years and feel like something is missing, Esencia is where real progress happens.

We focus on the details most classes skip. Proper technique, body mechanics, timing, footwork, musicality. Not only combinations. Not choreography. The real work that makes everything else possible.

Esencia is also the recommended starting point before joining Alma or Fuego.

ESENCIA 1 · Salsa

For complete beginners.

 

No experience needed, no partner required.

 

You start from zero and build a real salsa foundation - the kind that stays with you.

 

What to expect:

  • Salsa technique and body mechanics from the ground up

  • Footwork, timing and basic musicality

  • Solo shine and movement quality

  • Small groups, high attention to detail

No prerequisites · 8-week course · Drop-in available

ESENCIA 1 · Latin Movement

Not tied to one style. This class builds the physical vocabulary that underlies all Latin dance - the hip movement, weight shifts, rhythm and body awareness that makes you better at Salsa, Reggaeton, Reparto and beyond simultaneously.

Perfect if you are not sure which style calls to you yet, or if you want to complement your Salsa foundation with broader Latin body movement.

 

What to expect:

  • Latin body movement fundamentals

  • Rhythm, timing and musicality across styles

  • Hip work, weight shifts and body isolation

  • A foundation that feeds directly into Esencia Salsa and Alma classes

No prerequisites · 8-week course · Drop-in available

ESENCIA 2 · Salsa

For dancers who have been dancing a while but want to go back and build it properly. No shortcuts this time.

This is not a continuation of Esencia 1. It is a deliberate return to the foundation for dancers who recognise the gaps - and are serious enough to fix them. The technique goes deeper, the standards are higher, and the work is more demanding.

What to expect:

  • Deep technique work and body mechanics refinement

  • Timing, musicality and movement quality at a higher standard

  • Solo shine and stylistic development

  • Small groups, honest feedback, high attention to detail

Basic salsa foundation required · 8-week course · Drop-in available

ALMA - The Soul

The foundation meets feeling. Your dance finds its voice.

Alma is where the rules bend - beautifully. Once you have a solid foundation, Alma is where you apply it freely. Each Alma class fuses latin movement with a different dance vocabulary - contemporary, jazz, funk, reggaeton, reparto and more.

These are not harder versions of Esencia. They are different directions from the same root. You pick the fusion that calls to you.

Solid Esencia foundation required for all Alma classes. Some classes build on Esencia Salsa specifically, others on Latin Movement broadly - check individual class descriptions.

ALMA · Contemporary Fusion

Salsa meets contemporary movement. This class takes your latin foundation and opens it into the fluid, expressive world of contemporary dance - exploring how the two vocabularies speak to each other in ways that will surprise you.

What to expect:

  • Latin and contemporary movement vocabulary combined

  • Fluidity, body waves and expressive movement quality

  • Musicality across different genres

  • Creative exploration rooted in solid technique

Esencia 1 Salsa required · 8-week course · Drop-in available

FUEGO - The Next Level

Turn up the heat.

Fuego classes are for those who are ready to be challenged - really challenged.

Built for intermediate dancers with a solid foundation who want to push further. Technically, creatively, physically. Fuego is intense. It demands focus, commitment and a willingness to go to places that feel uncomfortable - because that is exactly where growth happens.

FUEGO · Salsa 

Speed, balance, body mechanics, advanced combinations, personal style. This is where you stop being good and start being unforgettable on any dancefloor.

What to expect:

  • Intense, challenging and rewarding sessions

  • Advanced technique and body control

  • Speed, balance and physical precision

  • Creative combinations and personal style development

  • Honest feedback and high standards

Solid intermediate foundation required · 8-week course · Drop-in available
