Why Knoxville Dancers Love the FRIDAY Salsa Party

"...I love the atmosphere of the Salsa parties..."

"Jaqui and Waldo have created a welcoming and supportive community to learn Salsa and Bachata. I love the atmosphere of the Salsa parties. You don't have to come with a dance partner or worry about not dancing because you only know the basics. Everyone comes to enjoy the music and dance with each other no matter what level they are.

​The classes are just as fun! They do a great job breaking down the steps and teaching you how to listen to the music. I come to class not only excited to learn new steps but also excited to see my Salsa friends. 💃"

- Kassandra S.

"...The parties are awesome and the community is great..."

"I started with the bootcamp and just kept dancing. Waldo and Jacqui are great! I love the way they duel teach leads and follows. The parties are awesome and the community is great"!

- Chelsea T.

"...You won’t feel overwhelmed as a beginner..."

"Instructors are real professionals. They pay great attention to detail and really focus on improving your technique. Great classes for people of all levels. You won’t feel overwhelmed as a beginner and won’t be bored if you are advanced. They have multiple different classes and socials every week so it’s almost like a dance school instead of a dance class. They are super flexible with the packages and accommodated my schedule since I am on call often."
