10:30 AM | Step Into Your New Identity: 4-Week Bachata Beginner Cycle with Lucia

Every great journey starts with a single step, and for many in North Hollywood and Sherman Oaks, that step begins with Lucia. Starting June 6 at 10:30 AM, we are launching our 4-Week Beginner Bachata Cycle.

This isn't just a class; it’s a dedicated path toward self-confrontation and growth. Lucia creates an environment where beginners can shed their hesitations and embrace the flow of Bachata. You’ll learn the fundamental Bachata basics, focusing on the smooth, grounded connection that makes this dance so special.

We emphasize the "shoes on floor" commitment: showing up for yourself four weeks in a row to build a foundation that lasts a lifetime. By the end of this cycle, you won't just be moving to the beat; you'll be expressing a new version of yourself, grounded in community and standard.

12:00 PM | Elevate Your Energy: Bachata Level 1 with Frankie

As the morning sun warms the studio, the energy shifts. At 12:00 PM, Frankie takes the floor for Bachata Level 1. This session is for those who have felt the spark of the rhythm and are ready to refine their masculine growth or feminine confidence.

Frankie brings a high-standard approach to the studio, blending technical precision with an urban, gritty edge. In this class, we move beyond the basics and start exploring the "Science of Movement." You’ll work on your frame, your lead-and-follow clarity, and the subtle nuances that make your dancing look as good as it feels.

It’s a space where discipline meets creativity. As you fix your cuffs and prepare for the next pattern, you’re not just learning a dance; you’re building the trust and discipline needed to excel both on and off the dance floor.

1:00 PM | The Masterclass: Salsa On2 Level 1.5 with Joel and Lucia

The pinnacle of our Saturday morning is the Salsa On2 Level 1.5 class at 1:00 PM, led by the dynamic duo, Joel and Lucia. If you have mastered the basics and are hungry for more, this is where connection becomes clearer, timing becomes sharper, and confidence becomes visible.

At MO2 Dance Studio: The Architecture of Dance Approach, this class is built for dancers ready to move with more control, trust, and musical precision. It is one of our standout Salsa On2 classes in Los Angeles, designed for students who want more than patterns—they want mastery they can actually feel.

Mastering the 'New York Style'

Salsa On2, often called the "New York Style," is the gold standard for many social dancers worldwide. It’s elegant, smooth, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the music. In this Level 1.5 class, Joel and Lucia dive deep into the timing that defines this style.

While most people start their dance journey On1, transitioning to On2 allows you to dance "inside" the music. By breaking on the 2nd beat, you align your movement with the conga’s tumbao rhythm, creating a sophisticated and laid-back aesthetic.

Intricate Footwork and Complex Patterns

This class is a technical playground. You can expect to dive into:

• Intricate Shines: Master solo footwork that blends jazz, mambo, and rumba influences. These aren't just steps: they are your signature on the dance floor.

• Complex Turn Patterns: Joel and Lucia break down the "architecture" of turn patterns. You’ll learn how to navigate the "slot" with precision, ensuring every lead is clear and every follow is effortless.

• Refining Your Style: Beyond the patterns, we focus on the aesthetics. From head-spots to arm styling, you’ll learn how to move with a premium but welcoming presence.

A Community of Standards

What makes Saturday afternoons at MO2 Dance Studio: The Architecture of Dance Approach special is the environment. We move in a space of mirrored studio focus, clean lines, and intentional structure, where every student is committed to personal progress. The standard is high, but the energy is human, warm, and built on trust.

You’ll experience the post-class laughter that reminds you growth can be disciplined and joyful at the same time. Joel and Lucia are not just instructors; they are mentors who help you build real partner connection, cleaner execution, and a deeper respect for the roots of Salsa On2.
