Join us on Saturday, April 9th for our very popular series of Salsa workshops with Diane White. You may sign up for both workshops and the dance, or pick your favorite workshop. Diane will be building on the material from the first workshop in the second workshop, so unless you have Salsa dance experience, we recommend that you take the first workshop if you plan to take the second workshop.

Advance registration is not required but is appreciated. To register, click the registration link below, or call us at 603-643-5341.

These workshops are suitable for dancers of all levels, from beginner through intermediate.
