to SF Salsa Academy — a school dedicated to learning, growing, and celebrating salsa right here in the heart of San Francisco.
Welcome to SF Salsa Academy, a school dedicated to learning, growing, and celebrating our favorite Latin dance in all its rich history right here in the heart of San Francisco.
We specialize in teaching Salsa On2 (often called New York-style salsa or Mambo) in a progressive format designed to build our students' skills from the ground up. Each class is carefully structured to flow into the next, helping students develop a strong foundation, refine their technique, and unlock their full potential.
Whether you're brand new to salsa or an intermediate dancer ready to take your timing, styling, and connection to the next level, our instructors are here to guide you with patience, energy, and a deep love for the music and moving to it.
Come dance with us in a safe, welcoming environment just a right turn and a Suzie Q away from BART (1/2 a block away).
