Invite your Proctor crush to a crash course on the basics of Salsa dance. Don’t have a Proctor crush? No worries, self-love is honestly the ultimate crush. So take yourself on a date and come out to dance.

In this Movement Matter class, we will warm up the body to an array of Latin rhythms (Bad Bunny will be on the playlist). We will learn the basics steps of salsa and create a dance combination which we will practice and refine as a group. Be ready to sweat and learn some moves with an encouraging community.
