Elimi-Dance
In this classic elimination game, a Salsa Caliente instructor will be calling out shines that are taught in class (Suzie Q, Tap Loco, Crazy Q, etc). The goal is to successfully complete each shine as they are called out. Don’t make a mistake or get off beat or you’re out! The last person dancing wins!

Salsathon
This is a competition for salseros with stamina! Salsa Caliente will be playing some of the fastest and hottest salsa songs back to back. Participants will be instructed to switch partners every few minutes but you can’t stop! The guy and girl who can dance the longest wins!

Move Memory
So you think you can dance? Well how good is your memory? An instructor will show a small turn pattern and each couple will try to imitate it. Each time you get it right, the instructor will add an 8 count. Each couple has to start from the beginning and keep adding the 8 counts. The couple that can remember the most turn patterns in order wins! [Close]
