Why Learn On2? Well, it’s fun! If you’ve been dancing “On1″ for a while, or if you haven’t started salsa yet, On2 is a fun way to interpret the music.

Have trouble with your salsa timing? This class can also help with that, and help you get down your salsa basics (on any beat).

Just register here for only $40 for the entire course:

There’s no partner and no experience necessary for these classes, come out and have a great time, and learn how to salsa!

Plus, it’s at a historic San Francisco location, El Valenciano (or El Oso if you are as old as I am), where salsa has taken place for a long time, and they make a fantastic margarita!

There’s no place better to be on a Thursday night. Bring your friends.

“One of my favorite ways to learn and teach is definitely through private lessons. There is nothing better than learning directly from someone you admire and respect in their presence, especially in arts like dance.

Let me encourage you by saying that it has always been through private lessons from good teachers that my dancing has always developed the most.This is also why I even today continue to take private lessons from instructors that I respect and admire.”

~ Mikko Kemppe, Salsa Dancer, Instructor

See what some other salsa dancers have to say about Mikko:

“Mikko is definitely one of my favorite male dancers in the bay area. Ever since I saw him dance I have been trying to recruit him to my touring Latin Michael Jackson Tribute theatre production. And what I really like about him is that not only is he a fantastic dancer, but just a great down-to-earth guy and a lot of fun to be around.”

~ Seaon Stylist-Bristol, Singer, Dancer, Director, Choreographer
Michael Jackson Latin Tribute – Rock With You Tour

“From the first time I danced with Mikko, I thought that he was a talent, and a fantastic addition to our Bay Area scene! And when I saw him perform, I saw again that natural talent that makes a great dancer, very smooth. Mikko is also a kind and intelligent person. Any time I’ve spent with him has been an absolute pleasure.”

~ Tianne Frias, 2009 World Salsa Champion Finalist
RicaSalsa Dance Company

“Mikko is a great instructor. Not only have I have I become a much better salsa dancer because of him, but he has also helped me become a successful salsa instructor, and now I have many students of my own. I am very grateful for all that I have learned from him and I would highly recommend for you to learn from him too.”

~ Kimberly Morgan, Fitness/Dance Instructor
Studio FitNation

“I had been taking salsa lessons in several different states and even countries for 4 years before I started taking lessons from Mikko. His teaching style was so attentive and insightful that I was able to learn new patterns with ease, and even improve upon the fundamentals of my movements. His choreography of our team’s routine was brilliant, which led to a crowd-pleasing performance. I have now adopted his teaching style as I instruct several classes in Central Asia.”

~ Jeff Austin, Salsa Instructor

“Since I first met Mikko almost 2 years ago he has put the fire in me for Salsa and other Latin Dances. He is a very good teacher with lots of patience! Now I can’t get enough of it! With Mikko’s enthusiasm and love for Latin dance he has inspired me and many others. Every time he teaches I learn something new or I am reminded of things I need to work on. I do other dances like ballroom and swing but, Salsa has gotten me into better shape than I have ever been in and I am 54! Thanks for not giving up on me Mikko”
