what our students say
We've been worked with The Salsa Beat for years, and have done group classes, private lessons and performance teams. All have been fantastic experiences, and the crew has helped me progress and grow. I really appreciate the focus on the musicality and rhythm, and partner connection. There's a lot more than just learning patterns and moves. They've really created a welcoming environment, which is super important when you're new to dance.

"I just completed a 10-week ladies' styling class with Erica. I learned so much and had so much fun! I feel like I learned more technique in these 2.5 months in her class than I did over the past year! I'll for sure use some of what I learned social dancing. :) She's a great teacher (and so is her husband Juan). Erica never turns down a question and is great at breaking down moves. On top of that, she's super nice and encouraging!"

Rojo
Rojo, aka Steve Meyer has been involved in some sort of musical adventure since he was born. Joining the UCSD ballroom dance team, involving travelling and competitions in Ballroom, Latin Dances and Swing, also gravitating toward West-Coast Swing, a style that really helped him put moves together that “hit those hits…” Then Rojo discovered Salsa dancing. What he loves most about Salsa music is it’s richness in rhythmic diversity. Rojo competed and performed on the World’s biggest stages, and also got the opportunity to perform with the great Tito Puente himself. Teaching Salsa at all levels for over 10 years, his favorite teaching activity was “Drills, drills and more drills” to train footwork and technique. Rojo hopes to bring the same passion for the music, footwork and drills to The Salsa Beat community.
