Salsa classes in Victoria, on2 style.
Cambia Dance is a new salsa school in Victoria, BC from instructors Julia Sands and Spencer Hancock. Beginner-friendly Salsa On2 classes are launching soon. Leave your name and email and you'll be the first to know when registration opens.
Why On2?
Salsa On2, also called New York or mambo style, breaks on the second beat of the music. It sits deep in the rhythm, feels smooth and grounded, and opens up the musicality that makes salsa addictive. If you've been searching for salsa lessons in Victoria, this is the style we teach.
Beginner friendly
No partner and no experience needed. We start with timing, basics, and how to lead and follow with clarity.
Technique that lasts
Small groups and hands-on feedback so you build good habits from day one, not bad ones you have to unlearn later.
Made for the social floor
Everything we teach is meant to be danced at a social. You'll leave each class with something you can actually use.
Your instructors
Julia and Spencer are a salsa On2 duo known for their fluid partnerwork, groovy styling, and infectious musicality. Since partnering in 2023, they have shared their dance across Vancouver, Montreal, San Francisco, Portland, and beyond. Grounded in strong fundamentals and musicality, their dancing highlights crisp, responsive connection and effortless flow.
As switch dancers, they explore both leading and following, approaching salsa as a space for creativity and self-expression. They invite dancers to move beyond traditional roles and discover new ways of connecting.
They are passionate about building inclusive communities and creating environments where dancers grow confidence, sharpen fundamentals, and build meaningful connections on and off the dance floor.
