7.8.08 - "Beginner Salsa Lessons" @ Yemaya
She performs, she teaches, and she coaches teams. It's hard to find a reason why not to take lessons from one of Sacramento's most highly regarded dancers, Emelie, of Yemaya Salsa Dance Company. Her newly located dance studio is off 24th St and Broadway, in downtown Sacramento. Her classes are a must try and her private lessons will definitely help elevate your skills to another level. Salsa lessons are being offerred Tuesday through Thursday (and Zumba). [18 Photos].

6.27.08 - Salsa Fridays @ Club 21
The best place to salsa on Fridays in Sacramento is no doubt @ Club 21. It was "Ladies Night" (every last Friday of the month), where ladies get in free before 9:30pm and the tacos are only $1! There was also an excellent 1-Hour styling class by one of Sacramento's best, Emelie of Yemaya Salsa Dance Company. Check out more salsa lessons from Emelie Tuesday through Thursday @ 2724 24th Street Sacramento, CA 95818 (Map). [27 Photos]

6.14.08 - "Liberacion" @ Club Montero (Albany,CA)
Looking in from the outside, Club Montero does not even look like a club at all. But once you get inside, you know this place is the real deal. Some of the best salsa dancers go here. It's all about good music, good people, good salsa! The venue was packed from wall to wall, probably one of the more happening salsa spots I've been to in a while. 1 hour of free lessons by Joel and Sorcy, whom teach salsa at the club Th-Sat, and also at UC Berkeley. [38 Photos].

[6.1.08]

Below are some of the best online step by step salsa videos I've ever seen. In my opinion, they are better than attending classes because you can watch them over and over again to study the move more closely. They've also got great male styling. Plus, how can you beat FREE! Taught by Anthony of Addicted2Salsa.com.

"Salsa Dance Pattern for Beginners"
A nice, simple routine that you can practice at home.

 

"The 'Titanic' Dance Move"
Another simple, yet fancy, move for beginners.

 

"Getting Out of 2-Hand Holds"
These moves add some spice to your routine!
