We still require proof of covid vaccination to participate in our classes and events — proof of a covid booster is not required, though we strongly recommend that participants stay up to date with their vaccinations. Please click here to read the updated Safety Guidelines for RCR Salsa Classes (compliance is required). In-advance online registration is required (no drop-ins). Regular group classes are offered on a sliding scale ($10, $15, or $20 per class — if you are able to pay full price it is much appreciated). Sliding scale is accessible via discount codes (see description in the links below).

We teach from the RCR Cuban Salsa & Rueda de Casino Curriculum — students must know all moves from the previous levels to participate in a particular level (for example to attend a Level 2 class, students must know ALL moves from Level 1). Level 1 classes are open to everyone, no previous experience or partner necessary. You can find our current schedule (including teachers) here.
