Welcome to Salsa Dance class

Every Thursday, there is a Salsa Dance class that is loved from many OU students on the 2nd floor of the Memorial Union. About one hundred students from various countries have had fun learning basic steps of salsa for 2 hours.

The Latin Dance Club, one of student associations at OU, hosts this class every Thursday. About one hundred students are in this class this semester, and every week new students have registered to take this class. The Salsa Dance class teaches you to dance salsa and some kinds of Latin dances. Students who take this dance class not only learn to dance salsa but they also have some performances a few months later. The class separates into two parts. The first hour students train by themselves, and the second hour students can practice with their partners.

The Latin Dance club is so famous that they are often invited from other festivals and celebrations. The Latin Dance Club made this class for the purpose of getting OU students’ attention about Latin Culture. This class provides their students with the chance to experience various Latin Cultures like music, dance, and celebration. In addition, students can experience various cultures because this class consists of students from many other countries.

Maritza Rodriguez, the dance teacher in the Latin Dance Club, said “We want many OU students to have more interest with Latin Culture. Although many students already like salsa dancing and Latin music, they hardly have opportunities to enjoy this culture.” Maritza said that many students could make other friends who enjoy Latin dancing together and understand their culture more. She added words that they hoped their students feel salsa dancing is easy to enjoy through this class.
