Nasia Foreman
Owner and swing teacher
Nasia opened Soiree for people who wanted a weeknight with music in it. She teaches the swing classes, hosts the Friday and Saturday socials, and still asks every new dancer how their first night went.
Teachers
Who you'll dance with
Six teachers share the week. Nasia and Alejo lead most of the classes you'll see on the schedule, and one of them is on the floor at every social.
Alejo Arango
Salsa and bachata teacher
Alejo teaches the salsa and bachata classes and runs the partner changes. He teaches the count first, on your own, so the steps feel easy by the time you take a partner.
How we teach
The same plan every night
The step before the partner
We teach each step on your own first, so you're not learning it and a stranger's hand at the same time.
Lead and follow, in plain words
Either person can lead and either can follow. We name the roles, and you can try both.
Your pace
A step is shown at two speeds, and a teacher is on the floor to help.
