8 Week Salsa & Bachata Semester

MONDAYS at Viva Collective – 901 N Tryon St
Two beginner programs to kick off your week with rhythm, connection, and something fresh.

7PM – Salsa On2 Foundations
Start your evening with the vibrant energy of Salsa On2. This Level 1 course guides you through timing, footwork, and partner work in a fun, supportive setting—no experience needed. You’ll move with purpose, feel the music, and build real confidence on the dance floor.

8PM – Bachata Basics
Then slow it down with our Bachata Level 1 class. Smooth, grounded, and packed with flavor, this course teaches you the essentials—from basic steps to connection and flow. It’s easy to get into, and hard to stop once you start.

No partner needed. Just bring your curiosity and a good vibe—let the music take care of the rest.
