Certified Professional Instructors who have passed the Black Belt Salsa™ Certification course, to the Red Belt level may evaluate and advise those students who will need more physical training to pass the minimum physical Instructor Training (IT™) requirements to achieve their initial Purple Belt Certification.

Click here for the official Graduate Listing

There may be students who take this course who will pass the physical exam very quickly because they may already be instructors in their region. There will be others who are not currently teaching that may need more physical training to pass the minimum requirements.

     

    NOTE: 1st through 12th Degree "Black Belt" courses are taught only in "Private Lesson" format.
    There are no group classes available at this level.
    Please contact Edie to schedule your "Professional" Black Belt Salsa™ Purple through Black Belt Level Certification training.
    You must pass all prior levels first.

Professional certification courses are held in various countries throughout the world every year. 
They are taught by graduates of each course (Red Belt Certified and above).

If you are already an Advanced Seasoned Instructor who may simply need an Official Instructor Certificate to work in a certain establishment, or for tax purposes, legal qualification requirements must be discussed on a "one-on-one" consultation with Edie herself. If you feel that you qualify, email Edie for Official Certification requirements, legalities, and the written, oral, and visual online examination. This type of Certification will not apply to any level above White Belt.

Worldwide Course Dates: Contact any "Red Belt Salsa Level" or higher graduates for availability.

Fundamentals of Salsa Dance Training
The Qualities of a "
World Class" Lead and Follow

In the physical hands-on portion of the course using the Black Belt Salsa method of advancement, we do not teach a particular “Style” of Salsa dance.  This course is great for all styles: Cuban dancers as well as New York, Colombian, Cali Style, and LA-Style dancers who already, or wish to, teach Salsa or any other form of partner dance. We teach World Class partner foundational dance fundamentals, “Teaching Methods” Tricks-of-the-Trade and systematic imalgamaation memorization concepts.

During the Black Belt Salsa (BBS) physical "hands-on" Partner Dance certification, there will be various short breaks provided all day.  We will all go out or order in for lunch and / or dinner.   Please bring your own snacks.  Hands-on practice time, Salsa Syllabus DVDs, and question / answer session is included.  

This type of training is more than just teaching "How to Teach".  It is intensive training on the "look and feel" of a World Class Salsa Dancer.  

We emphasize teaching specific Families of Salsa Moves and  Combinations in the BBS Certification Course.  The BBS is not any particular "Style". It is FLEXIBLE. It combines the "Best of the Best" of styles (look and feel) from some of the top social dancers in the World.

We review the basics of partner dancing as a whole. Here, we teach solid fundamentals of World Class partner dancing techniques.

Our job is to recommend the top Salsa Syllabus course outlines in the world.  This Multi-Style list of DVDs will be titled, "The World's Best Salsa Syllabus Course Outlines".  Our Committee is currently reviewing all styles of Salsa Syllabus DVDs and their course curriculums to be placed on our "Highly Recommended List".   If you would like your School's syllabus to be considered for review, contact Edie.

 

Testimonials


edie the salsa freakIt was the best investment I had made in a long time. Now I need to continue and learn more. what is next in your program?

- J.R., New York, NY

edie the salsa freakThe BBS was exactly the medicine I needed! I have to say - even when my students initially "scrunch" their noses at the introduction of a "whole new way of doing things" ... by the end of class, they pleasantly say, "Boy, that sure feels better!" ~ Music to my ears ;) I LOVE IT! So, DBM here I come ... I will check the website and see when it is offered again.
- J.G., Brighton, CO

edie the salsa freak I've already integrated some of your methodologies into my classes with amazing responses
from the students. Any instructor who wishes to improve him/herselfor wishes to run a dance studio or danceteam more efficiently and successfully should attend your workshops at the earliest possible opportunity; it will change their whole outlook on dancing and teaching. Thank you for so openly sharing all of your knowledge and experience with me and withthe world. - A.D. Bangalore, India

edie the salsa freakI felt that your stories told was the most important part. They were a great help in understanding the business side as a dance instructor, as well as the experiences that went on in getting to where you have become today. Another thing that I felt was most important - BLUE TAPE! I will attend another Instructors Training, in fact, I already have a few that are wanting to go to the next Instructors Training! - A.A. Los Angeles, CA

edie the salsa freakI have never known someone with your level of worldwide recognition who is so humble and approachable.
You have been an inspiration, not only in terms of your dancing, but also your business development and attitude in general. Itwill be an honor to be able to work with you. Jennifer Jurgens - J.J. Mexico


edie the salsa freakI can't stop thinking about all of the things that I need to get done in order to gain momentum w/ the Salsa biz.
Now I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do, and this completely expands outside of Salsa and into all other areas of my life...
- JH, Denver
:-)

edie the salsa freakIt was amazing! I learned so much and you are amazing at what you do!
It was the best time and moneyinvestment I've ever made! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us :) Wow! It's very hard just to pick one since a lot of information she covered was amazing and mind blowing. I really enjoyed learning about unique teaching methods.
- A.M. Los Angeles, CA

edie the salsa freakThis was my second course with you and this blew me away. I'm so happy that I attended
and had the opportunity to meet others with the same passion. I can see how much more you've added and the difference in focus on the physical trianing ..

- A.D. Miami, Florida

edie the salsa freakThe White Belt Course was "Excellent" because I am a visual learner and learn best from diagrams. Edie uses concrete examples that help students understand. The presentation was well-organized and very well done. She gave an excellent explanation of timing, and how to find both the "1" and the "2". I felt that Edie's emphasis on the student's perspective was the most important part of the training...

- J.L. Colorado Springs, CO

edie the salsa freakThe thing that stuck in my mind the most was all business and marketing training that you can do in Salsa!What was most important to me was in the Level 2 in the workbook, everything that covers how to run a successful dance company and level 1, how to teach. - C.B. East Coast, USA

edie the salsa freakYour empowering attitude, amazing energy and marketing ideas to penetrate the local market gave me the opportunity to live my dream and grow my studio members to new heights.You gave me good pointers from your experience working with other studios around the world; they really make a difference in making a studio work....- J.M. Atlanta, GA

edie the salsa freakI love and enjoy learning from instructors that feel passionate about teaching, like you. This training was a true blessing for my husband and I. Not only did we get the training, but we also got the counseling. Couples doing this business "together" can't hear it from themselves that what they are doing is "wrong" or not the best way to handle conflict, they have to hear it from someone else. This training has instantly changed our lives and opened up a new door for us. There are so many new ideas that we have learned and will put into practice to have a successful business. The training was so much more worth than what we paid for it. We are so glad we came and... - A&H Flores, Los Angeles, CA

edie the salsa freakI'm still reeling from all the information we reviewed during the Instructor Training Course. It's going to take me a few weeks to digest all of it. It was a very comprehensive course full of new ideas from both an instructional and managerial perspective. In addition, the course has helped me take action on ideas & plans that I've been putting off for quite some time. Things that I know will really help grow my business. You really helped motivate me!...- S.F., Seattle, WA

edie the salsa freakThe information and knowledge that you provided to us was worth much more than what the course actually cost! Thank you so much for the enlightenment given through your instructor's training course. I will definitely utilize all that you have shown me in my recently started dance company! Thank you! - T.D. Baltimore, MD

edie the salsa freakThis has been an eye opener for me. It will save me thousands of dollars and has shown me the right way to run my business. The written material, the oral presentation, dance training, and information on various aspects of running the business are all very detailed and to the point. The whole class was very interactive. I not only learned a lot, but had lots of fun. I would recommend this course for every Salsa Instructor in the World,to thosewhoruns aSalsa Business, to those who own a dance studios, and performance teams. Thank you Edie. Your biggest fan!!- Sumit - Canada

edie the salsa freakWhat a wonderful experience your course was! You covered a lot of what I hadn't thought of, things that if I would have known before starting out that I would have done differently. It was a great learning experience and I will definitely utilize all of the knowledge that was given for my company and encourage other instructors to take your course as well! I would definitely recommend this course to all of my fellow instructors! - J.C. Ft. Lauderdale, FL

edie the salsa freakEver since the workshop, my classes have never been the same, it's only better. I just want to thank you for your help and advice. And today my wife and I will be performing at the SLC Salsa Congress, we're very excited because we will also be teaching a "Tango Salsa" workshop. That is what we will be performing as well. I remember you telling us to always be original and different. - W&R. Charlotte, NC

edie the salsa freakJust one hour into your course I knew it was going to be so helpful to, not only to my business, but also to my outlook of my business. I returned home with a burning passion to implementso many new ideas. I want to thank you for being the amazing person you are. You shared, informed and lit up a few light bulbs in that room over the 2 days. The great part is that you did it with a down to earth, humble, humorous and straightforward approach.Ican see nowwhy you are so sought after...- R.G. Worcester, MA

edie the salsa freakYou certainly gave me great insight on how to improve how I teach Salsa & how I conduct my business back in Atlanta. It was also great to meet other instructors & to have the opportunity to network with other dance studio owners all over the U.S...
