For students with prior salsa dance experience, we offer (and highly recommend) a complimentary assessment to determine the most suitable level and lesson plan for you. Please see our Salsa Class Descriptions  to have an idea of the steps and turn patterns covered in each level. Remember that every dance school and/or salsa instructor may cover different material so it may be a better option to begin with Beginner Level 1 lessons. Other styles of salsa do not necessarily translate into the steps in Cuban Salsa, so do contact us for an assessment to be sure of the appropriate level.

In fact, any evening of the week you will find hundreds of Torontonians attending Salsa lessons or at one of the many great Salsa clubs in Toronto.

Cuban Salsa, or simply Casino as it's known in Cuba, is a style of Salsa dancing gaining ever more popularity outside of Cuba, hugely popular in many places in Europe, Peru, Brazil, and now stablishing a strong fan base in Toronto. It's circular motion, afro-cuban flavour and very rhythmic and playful nature make it a favourite among many.
