Pantera Dance Company offers a salsa partnering class at In Movement Dance Studio focused on Salsa On 1. The session begins with a guided warm-up, then progresses into clear instruction on practical footwork and body movement that support a featured partner pattern. Foundational partnering skills are emphasized so newcomers and experienced dancers alike can refine technique and enjoy a safer, more comfortable social dance experience. Participants may choose to lead or follow regardless of gender, and exploring both roles is encouraged. A partner is not required because partners rotate during class, and those who prefer not to rotate can stay with one partner. Latin shoes with a suede sole are recommended, and comfortable street shoes without a sticky rubber sole also work well. Please consider using deodorant and mints. The class is $20 or included with a Pantera Dance Company membership. Registration is available through the IMD website, and payment via Venmo or Zelle can be made through the provided link. A Meetup-only code, MIAU26, may offer 50 percent off and is limited to two uses per class, so early registration helps secure the discount. This open-gender, open-level class welcomes ages 12 and up, with minors attending under supervision.
