A. We recommend that you dress for comfort. Wear flat or low-heeled shoes for all day comfort but no rubber-soled shoes. Dance shoes will be available for sale on-site.

A. Workshops are color coded so that participants can easily identify the difficulty levels of each class; the classes are geared to all levels of dancers and each time slot will have at least one class that all dancers can participate in. Participants can choose any workshop they are interested in and the Salsa Fiesta team encourages participants to challenge themselves and try something new; however it’s up to you to choose workshops on the level you are currently at if you prefer to hone your skills further, or just simply choose the ones that are most fun for you!

A. If you find the class you are in is too challenging, you can change but remember you will already have missed the beginning of all of the other classes, so choose wisely. We recommend that you ask any of the Committee Members or someone more experienced if you are unsure.
