RAÍCES: Social Dance Training Program
3-Month Salsa On2 & Bachata Progressive Cohorts
Rooted in Creation, Culture & Collaboration Raíces is a closed, supportive 3-month training program designed strictly for social dance mechanics and authentic movement roots. Unlike standard weekly drop-in classes, Raíces offers a cumulative 12-week progressive syllabus that prioritizes comfort, confidence, and genuine musical connection on the social floor over stage performance.
