Whether you're completely new to ballroom style-tango or already know several steps, you're guaranteed to learn many exciting new moves. No partner or experience necessary; everyone welcome. (If you've watched Dancing With The Stars, you'll know that tango can be danced to current pop music as well as classic tango music.)

I actually feel more confident in my body, stronger, and more graceful. I'm grateful for Zazil's caring attitude and encouragement; she made it feel easy. Susan G., Jamaica Plain, MA.

Note to folks who are new to fitness and dance:
Here's a tip for keeping up in class; don't try too hard to "keep up", since everyone goes at their own pace in our classes. We promise not to leave you behind. Our instructors are very aware that everyone's body and energy level is different. Minimize your movements and try to make every movement smaller, moving more efficiently, if you are wanting to tame the pace a bit. You can get the same fitness benefits as the person next to you, even if you are pushing yourself just to your comfort level. Feel free to tell your instructor if you may need to take it easy, and ask her to give the whole class tips on how to make the dance experience comfortable and challenging for each person's level. You'll feel a difference in 6 weeks. And you'll feel fantastic at the end of each evening!
"The secret to living the life of your dreams is to start living the life of your dreams now, to the extent you can." :)
Spring Dance Classes start Mon. Apr. 2: Hip Hop, Reggaeton, Belly Dance, Ballroom, something Latin, and maybe even yoga dance! Email liz@outtodance.com for a sneak peek.
Salsa and Art Immersion 2013 Vacation Info:
Imagine the best vacation of your life: Salsa dancing, art and cultural excursions near Puerto Vallarta! Immerse yourself in the joys of Latin dancing and/or painting and drawing at one of the most beautiful and arts oriented locales in Latin America, Casa de los Artistas. Expect a sunny mid-70s to low 80s climate while dancing in the Casa open-air studio overlooking the ocean, river and village. The Casa is not a Four-Star luxury chain hotel, nor does it want to be; it is however a Five-Star Retreat Center. You will hear the natural sounds of the sea and tropical birds. It is all very safe and friendly, a place where women do not fear taking strolls at night, and everyone knows each other.
After a delicious breakfast, you'll enjoy three hours of salsa classes every morning, or enjoy some painting or drawing time. Then get ready for a mouthwatering Mexican lunch prepared by the wonderful Casa chef Ruby and her assistants. Take the afternoons to enjoy exciting excursions provided by your hosts, or go on your own to
explore the incredible natural beauty, beaches, local culture, cafés and shops, or just take a siesta in your private ocean-side room. After dinner at a local restaurant on the beach, enjoy an evening of a dance party with the locals on the premises, a night out at the salsa club with a live band, or simple lounging and good conversation.. (Your non-dancing partner is also welcome.)

"Cutting loose on the dance floor in the company
of kindred spirits is one of the most energizing, healing, and
affirming things you can do for yourself. Dancing is a proven
stress-relieving action that can help heal and strengthen your
body, mind and spirit. When you dance, you're throwing a wild
party of endorphins inside yourself. And we can all surely use
a good, strong dose of healthy endorphins right now to help us
face a world of troubles!"
