What we’re about
A group dedicated to dancing for social, emotional, and physical health. We are a dance studio, but also a community of people who love to use dance as a means to express ourselves and meet people that you would otherwise get a chance to meet. Whether it's taking a dance class together, or creating practice groups, going out dancing, building a flash mob, or watching a dance related movie together, we want to do that with you. The Viscount Dance Studio offers classes, dances, practice space, dance parties, and even a dance-film movie night (if you can call Xanadu a film!). We are all about the people and relationships that are formed here, and the transformations people see in their lives when they enter a dance community. Come join us!

SALSA 1 - intro/beg
Mondays 6:30-7:30p
Drop in - $16, 4 Class Pass - $55
Please register at www.danceviscount.com to attend this class. Follow the class link below to sign up. Offered in-person and via Zoom!Welcome to the exciting world of Salsa! Contrary to what many believe about Salsa dancing, it is a very forgiving, intuitive and easy to learn social dance. Salsa is not only fun, but socially relevant given Portland's growing diversity in Latino Culture. Aside from Salsa, students will dabble in Merengue and Bachata - two dance styles that are equally as popular in the Salsa clubs, and both just as easy (if not easier!) than Salsa. This class will cover the fundamental basic steps and concepts make Salsa what it is: frame, body movement, partnering, and how to navigate the local Salsa scene/dance floor. We will discuss Salsa specific dance technique and the core framework of leading and following as true with any Latin dance, as well as tips on how to cover up mistakes, non-intimidating stylistic flairs to spice up any move, and dance floor etiquette. Students will also learn 3 or more 'moves' to use on the dance floor and be introduced to the Cross Body Lead, Salsa's most common type of intermediate move. No partner or prior experience necessary
