Beginner Salsa — Fridays

Fridays 8:00 to 9:00 in downtown San Mateo. Salsa for beginners, taught an hour before the social party opens so you can use it immediately. Basic step, timing, turns and leading and following — enough to get through your first songs on a real floor without counting out loud. No partner and no experience required. The Latin social party follows at 9:00 and runs to midnight with a live DJ.
