Pride Salsa’s Sunday drop-in is listed weekly through Dec. 20, 2026. It welcomes absolute beginners, people brushing up, and Salsa On1 dancers moving toward New York Salsa On2.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The Level 0 label covers several starting points: Pride Salsa lists the class for people new to salsa, those looking for a refresher, and experienced Salsa On1 dancers who want to transition to New York Salsa On2. Its Sunday plan moves from sign-in to rhythm and footwork drills, then partner work.
The listing’s audience is broader than first-time dancers. It also names people returning to fundamentals and On1 dancers interested in the New York On2 style, making the Level 0 description a useful guide to the class’s subject rather than a rule that everyone must arrive with the same experience.
Pride Salsa describes the classes as created for queer people and allies, and the Meetup listing explicitly welcomes straight participants. Queer Partner Dance NYC lists the event; Pride Salsa presents it.

The 90-minute format separates rhythm and footwork from partner work. That gives prospective students a clearer picture than the drop-in label alone: the published plan is a lesson with scheduled practice phases, not an open-ended block of dancing.

The Meetup description names Vimal or Elie as instructors. Pride Salsa’s general Sunday Level 0 schedule lists Vimal, Aubrie and Elie, but does not confirm who will teach on a particular date. Check that Sunday’s booking entry if the instructor matters to your plans.
The directory identifies Vimal Pradeep as Pride Salsa’s founder, artistic director and lead instructor, and notes his international titles in competitive Latin Caribbean dances. It also describes training in dance, theater and public speaking, following a former software-engineering management career in biotech.
Elie Rosales is an assistant director and instructor who specializes in follow technique; the directory says he has more than 25 years of dance experience and founded and directs the New Jersey salsa studio Orguyo. Aubrie Salzman, also listed on the general Sunday roster, has nearly 30 years of experience in concert and partner dances, a world medal in salsa shines, and work as a dance event producer and community organizer. She is also co-founder and COO of DanceFam.org.
