Desi’s classes bring salsa into the present, combining traditional salsa with hip hop, jazz and Afro-Cuban. He will take you through salsa shines (footwork without a partner) and turn patterns, and will teach the guys to lead and the girls to follow. He will have you at the club tearing up the dance floor in no time.  Bringing a partner is NOT necessary.
