Registration policiesPasses, gifts, cycle changes, drop-ins, transfers, and placement
Class passes & missed classes
Class passes are tied to the selected four-week cycle. Missed or unused classes expire at the end of that cycle and do not roll over, convert to drop-ins, or carry forward as credit.
Adjustment period
You can cancel, transfer, or postpone your cycle at no charge until 24 hours before the cycle starts. After that, any of those changes carries a fee of one drop-in for that class: $35 for Intro and $22 for all other levels.
Drop-ins
Drop-ins must be purchased for a specific class and date, are subject to space and level approval, and cannot be transferred, rolled over, or refunded. Intro drop-ins are available only while space remains inside the 15 series seats; otherwise, registration joins the waitlist. New students may drop into Intro only on the first class of a cycle and must register in advance.
New students & placement
Students who are new to salsa or Salsa On2 should begin with Intro to Salsa. Dancers with prior experience who want to enter above Intro should book a private lesson or placement evaluation before registering; SFSA may recommend a different level.
Pass transfers
Moving an active class pass to another student, level, or cycle requires SFSA approval. After the adjustment period, the drop-in change fee applies. Drop-in purchases cannot be transferred.
Enrollment & waitlists
A class spot is confirmed only after registration and payment are complete. Joining a waitlist does not guarantee enrollment; offers are time-limited and may depend on class capacity and role balance.
SFSA changes
Schedules, instructors, and locations may occasionally change. If SFSA cancels a class, we will provide a replacement class or appropriate credit; this does not apply to student absences.
Community expectations
Students are expected to follow instructor guidance, respect partner consent and boundaries, and help maintain a safe, welcoming environment. SFSA may refuse or end participation when necessary for community safety.
Gift passes
A gift is a one-time credit for a Simple or Plus pass (1 or 2 consecutive months), not a reserved class seat. Gift codes must be redeemed within 3 months of purchase. The recipient chooses class and starting month when they register, subject to placement, capacity, and the same policies as any other pass. A gift may be applied to the same pass or a more expensive one (any difference is due at checkout) and cannot be used toward a cheaper pass. If a recipient email is included at purchase, only that email can redeem the code; otherwise anyone with the code may use it. Once redeemed, the pass is tied to the selected cycle like any other class pass.
