THE VISION

Hi, I'm JS!

I'm 54. I dance full out full time.

30+ years ago a vision was born. 1989. San Francisco. I was 20.

Late one night, I heard music wafting out of a tiny club. The music called, I responded. 

Next thing I knew I was wildly dancing. 

I had never danced in my life. I had never taken a dance class. I had never even thought of being a dancer.

It was an awakening. It’s as if I were living in full color for the first time. 

My life was totally uprooted and transformed that night. It led to a dance class, then another, then a professional career spanning 3 + decades 14 countries, and so many different cultures. It caused me to start and restart over and over, no matter the cost.

Dance introduced me to me. I fell in love with me. After traveling the world it led me home, it led me here, it led me to you. What joy! 

But WAY more than that, 

It birthed a vibrant vision. 

I saw a destination place, a studio so alive that people would get on a plane, take a train, drive a car, ride a bike, run, walk, crawl, fall; anything to get there because the environment was that enticing  and the classes were that good.

I saw big windows, sweaty bodies, drums, joyful people, movement, color, community, expression... Life. 

A place for people to discover and rediscover themselves, to train and to train hard, to build community... to come ALIVE 

Salt Studios - formerly Infuse, formerly Room to Dance World to Dance (if you know you know) is that vision come to life! We are the most effervescent, welcoming adult dance community with a sumptuous offering of classes at all levels for all bodies.

We just need you

I love this studio. All the transformations over the years have made it more rich, more saturated with a culture of belonging. I'm so proud to call this my home and you my family. - JS
