No! You will be paired up with other students during students while rotating throughout class. If you do have a partner, great! Please bring them!  It is about a 50/50 split of students coming alone and students bringing a partner.

Yes, our classes run in a 4-6 month curriculum with 4 week blocks per concept, depending on the class.  For instance, you may work on 6 concepts for 4 weeks at a time over 6 months, but can start inside any block, at any time.

While the classes are progressive our instructors excel in being able to break down our curriculum regardless of your level.

You may start at any time.  However, if you have never taken a Salsa or Bachata dance class, a prerequisite of the Absolute Beginner Salsa & Bachata 099 class is required before entering the classroom. This class is designed to provide you with enough basics for you to begin in a 100-level class at any time with success.

Absolute Beginner Salsa & Bachata Class occurs on the following dates:

• Mondays at 6:00p-7:00p (Salsa & Bachata)
• Saturdays at :
  • Salsa: 12:30p-1:30p
  • Bachata: 1:30p-2:30p

Our absolute beginner classes are built to give you an overview of both salsa and bachata in order to immediately prepare you to enter a 100 or 101 class with a higher level of confidence.

Once in a 100 or 101 class we recommend remaining in this progressive class for 3-6 months. If you begin to feel stagnant in class, ask your instructor what you can continue to focus on or if you are ready to move up to a 101 or 102 class.

Our instructors will also do their best to advise you when you’re ready to move up. We encourage you to be vocal about your needs!

Whether you are an absolute beginner or just new to the space, we recommend taking the Monday Absolute Beginner Salsa/Bachata 099 Mondays at 6:00p.  

This class allows you to experience the fundamentals of both Salsa and Bachata that usually get passed over if you are a social dancer or have not received professional training.  

Once you have taken this class, we can advise on what class would be the best fit for you and your schedule! 

If your schedule does not allow for this class, we also accept absolute beginners in our Saturday classes: 

• Salsa: 12:00p
• Bachata: 1:00p

If neither of these options work for your schedule, please reach out via phone or text to (719) 619-9125 or email us at [email protected]. 

Feel free to park anywhere on the street.  There is also a lot across the street from us that you are able to use (at the old Thrift Store).

Our community holds 6 main values:

These values create an environment for compassion and empowerment, leaving each person to safely explore self-expression.  We believe in creating psychological safety for each person to come in and feel fully self-expressed. 

We offer a free class to new students, providing each person with an empowered choice to become a part of our community after experiencing our instructors, staff, and community. We believe our community speaks for itself and want you to experience it without any strings attached! 

We are often asked about kids’ classes, and while we love your kiddos, we believe in creating a space for “parents” and other adults to just be adults. It is important and essential for people of every age to participate in play, and unfortunately, adults do not have many spaces to be fully self-expressed. Therefore, it is our mission and value to provide access to a fun space to self-care and experience self-empowerment.
