💰 A Small Update to our class pricing
We’ll be making a small adjustment to our class pricing.
Our class prices will increase by approximately $1 per class, bringing our pricing more in line with current market rates while helping us continue to provide the quality teaching, experienced instructors and welcoming environment Salsa Latina is known for.
As part of this update, we’re also simplifying our pricing options, and the 2 Class Pass will be discontinued. Our other class and concession options will continue to give you flexibility depending on how often you dance.
We’ve worked to keep this adjustment as small as possible and continue to offer great value, including your first class FREE for new students. Thank you for being part of the Salsa Latina community and for continuing to dance with us. ❤️
New pricing takes effect: 17th August You will see the shop & pricing update soon on this
