Salsa dancing is about freedom and self expression. The men learn to lead and the ladies learn to follow. As a result after a few lessons you will be able to dance with different people at different levels. Our teachers are UKA qualified with over 5 years experience teaching salsa and we teach a style of salsa called 'L.A. style' or 'Cross Body style.
The Salsa scene is very friendly so don't worry about coming alone, you will meet lots of new people and make new friends. Salsa dancing is great exercise - wear layers so that you can cool off easily and comfortable shoes (not trainers or mules).. The dress code is relaxed and informal (although the odd sequin or two have been known to stray onto the dance floor !)
BEGINNERS
To be the best you have to have good foundations, and the beginner's class is where that all begins. We recommend at least 6 lessons at this level so that the basic steps can be executed without having to think about them. At this level a partner is not necessary but couples are more than welcome.
IMPROVERS After at least 6 beginner lessons, you may be in a position to graduate into the Improvers class where you will learn more intricate turn patterns and sequences, timing and technique. We teach a style of salsa called "L.A. style" or "Cross Body Style" which is very elegant to watch and shows the ladies off to their best.
INTERMEDIATE
Once you have mastered the foundation moves, you will be in a position to advance to the Intermediate class. Here you will put all the moves you have learned so far into practice, adding styling, tricks and dips to make your dancing look effortless.
PRIVATE TUITION
For those of you that want to progress a little quicker on your salsa journey, we can offer private tuition to both individuals and couples. The one hour classes take place at 7:30pm on Wednesday and are on a first come, first served basis only. Price on application.
