The world's most popular social dance — and the perfect place to start your dance journey in the Inland Empire.
Salsa is the heartbeat of Latin dance. Born from the vibrant streets of Cuba and refined in the dance halls of New York City, salsa fuses Afro-Caribbean rhythms with jazz influences to create one of the most exciting and accessible partner dances in the world. From its infectious conga and timbale rhythms to the electric energy of a packed dance floor, salsa has a way of pulling you in and never letting go.
There is a reason salsa is the number one beginner dance at Arthur Murray studios everywhere — it is easy to pick up, endlessly fun, and instantly rewarding. Within just a few lessons, you will feel the rhythm clicking into place, your feet finding the beat, and your confidence soaring. Salsa is also one of the most social dances you can learn. Whether you are at a Latin nightclub in San Bernardino County, a wedding reception in Rancho Cucamonga, or a community event in the Inland Empire, knowing salsa means you will always have a reason to get on the floor.
At Arthur Murray on Central Ave in Montclair, our certified instructors break salsa down step by step so you feel comfortable and confident from your very first lesson. We teach both On1 (LA style) timing that is popular across Southern California and the foundational patterns that will have you dancing with anyone, anywhere. Whether you are a complete beginner stepping onto the floor for the first time or an experienced dancer looking to sharpen your skills, our Montclair studio — just minutes from the I-10 — is the place to fall in love with salsa.
Every instructor is professionally trained and certified in the Arthur Murray method, ensuring you get expert guidance tailored to your learning style.

"I walked in with two left feet and zero rhythm — or so I thought. My instructor made me feel like a natural from the very first lesson. Now I actually look forward to dancing at parties!"
