A Fresh Start on the Dance Floor: Absolute Beginner Salsa Workshop at Heavy Hitters

Mural at Heavy Hitters Athletic Facility.

On Saturday, February 28th, we’re excited to welcome you to our Absolute Beginner Salsa Workshop, taking place from 3:15–4:30 PM (doors open at 3:00 PM) inside Heavy Hitters Athletic Facility, one of our newest community partners.

This workshop is designed specifically for people who are brand new to salsa — no previous experience, no partner required.

What This Workshop Is All About

If you’ve ever watched salsa dancing and thought “That looks fun, but I have no idea where to start”, this workshop is for you.

During our 75 minutes together, we’ll focus on:

  • How to listen to salsa music and recognize its rhythm

  • Learning foundational salsa basic steps, starting solo

  • How those steps translate with a partner, in an approachable way

  • Building confidence so you can move without overthinking

Our teaching style is welcoming, structured, and beginner-friendly — designed to help you feel successful from your very first steps.

What to Wear & Bring

Please wear comfortable clothes you can sweat in and bring a water bottle. Athletic shoes or clean sneakers are perfect — no special dance shoes needed.

No Partner? No Experience? You’re in the Right Place.

You do not need a partner to attend. We rotate respectfully and teach in a way that works whether you come solo, with a friend, or with a significant other.

This workshop is intentionally built for absolute beginners, so you’ll never feel behind or out of place.

A New Home & A New Chapter for Daync Academy

This workshop also marks an exciting new chapter for Daync Academy.

We are now a mobile dance business, similar to a food truck model — bringing high-quality Latin dance education into different spaces throughout Milwaukee rather than operating from one permanent location.

Heavy Hitters Athletic Facility is one of our core community partners and a space we’re excited to call one of our new homes. In addition to teaching here, you’ll also see Daync popping up at other venues throughout the neighborhood.

Moving forward, these Absolute Beginner Salsa Workshops will be offered monthly, creating consistent opportunities for new dancers to start (or restart) their dance journey in a supportive environment.
