Los Sabrosos currently focuses on teaching L.A. style salsa, which is also called Salsa On 1.
All of our classes require the skills taught in the previous classes, as well as the previous levels.
Example: Salsa II requires that a dancer knows everything taught in the four classes of Salsa I.
The first class of each series starts with a basic review of the material from the previous level.
Example: The first class of Salsa III consists of a review of the material covered in Salsa II.
Each week we briefly review the material of the previous week, then move onto new material, and finally incorporate the new with the old in a combination for partnerwork and/or footwork.
Our classes are taught according to the following syllabus:
