Bienvenidos! Welcome!

My name is China Moon (Morenita Chinita to some) and I am so excited to be teaching again here in Wisconsin!

Originally The Salsa Shack, I began Dance Salsa Etc. because I want to provide a communal presence to help local street dance artists thrive, and unlock the artistic potential of Madison residents. Originally from N.Y. I now call Wisconsin home I have danced from Coast to Coast and enjoy dancing various dances with people of ALL walks of life!

So…

Welcome to the new website of Dance Salsa Etc.! We’re a collective group that encourages self-expression through visual art, dance, music, and theater. Performances include Street, Improv, African, Bhangra, Salsa, etc. We believe that Dance is an essential part of any thriving community. We believe that dance lifts the spirit and raise the collective consciousness of the residents of McFarland, Madison, it’s surrounding communities and nationwide. We are looking to collaborate with other dancers and theatre artists and artistic organizations in an effort to facilitate mutual support, recognition, and the exchanging of ideas.

- At Con Safos, you can dine with us and friends before class or just grab a quick bite from the full or a la carte menu. Also there is a Happy Hour from 5-7PM that you can enjoy and be completely relaxed for the class and social…

- At 7:30PM SHARP, we will begin working out those Spicy calories with an-hour long raw session of classic Salsa Classes. These classes will cover ALL the fundamentals for Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha and Danzón dancing like leading and following techniques, timing, motion, spinning techniques, partner connection, etc.

Call 608. 516. 8661 for details and information.

These aren’t your Momma’s dance classes!

Beginners, welcome! Learn salsa, merengue, bachata, lambada and dance floor etiquette from a Long Island chick named China. Just like my Real Estate career, I am a bit different than most… I can help you to appreciate music styles and rhythm along with teaching you the basics. This ‘technique’ gives one more room to grow individually becoming more comfortable with their own freestyle versus only robotic variations and sequences. There is a difference…

Ages 6 and up, Latin Street Lessons in: Salsa!

Think summertime block parties; New York, Miami, Puerto Rico, the Caymans, Chicago and more! Salsa originates from the country of Cuba! From there it filtered on through and through and viola! Years later here we are STILL in the salsa craze. Never out of style, salsa is hot, athletic, sexy, invigorating, gives you an excuse (if you need one) to dress up every Saturday and more! Let the soulful sounds of the clave, guido, piano and drums give you goose bumps once you learn to appreciate and experience the music from within. I can not teach you to feel the way of the music, I can only show you how you may get there…
