*IMPORTANT NOTE*
You must fulfill all prerequisite requirements for the level you enroll in. Our goal is to place you in the class that will benefit you the most. On the first day of class, we will run through all prerequisites. If you are not in the right class for you, the teacher may move you to a different level. Moving to a lower level is not a punishment, but a proactive measure to ensure your success. If you aren't sure which level to join, please contact Juan-2-3@TheSalsaBeat.com to set up an evaluation.
