Salsa For Beginners

BEGINNERS COURSE

(in person)

Salsa is a fun, social activity and great exercise. You do not need any previous dance experience as our complete beginners course will give you the best foundations in dancing salsa.

As salsa is a social dance it is customary to rotate partners in all classes, so whether you come on your own, with a partner or with friends, everyone gets to dance.

The 6 week course fee includes a 1 hour class per week.

In our beginners course you will be taken through the basic fundamentals of dancing salsa including the basic salsa rhythm, the basic steps and footwork, and foundation partnerwork. Most importantly you will learn how to lead/follow so you can get going on the dancefloor.

We encourage students on the Beginners courses to join our social dance sessions (although this is entirely optional). The social dancing sessions give you opportunity to practice what you've learnt, which really helps to accelerate your learning.  If you prefer you can just watch and socialise. Teachers are available during practice sessions to help and answer questions. 

 

Before your course starts, you are welcome to come and visit. You will get a good feel for the style we dance by watching the classes and social dancing.

"Truly one of the best things I've done!

Being new to an area can always be difficult! I've now been going for around 5 months. Not only do you learn to dance salsa, you also build up a friendship base with likeminded people, naturally your confidence levels increase

and you feel like you've become part of something exciting! The social aspect, the dancing and the music is addictive.

Step outside your comfort zone and give it a try! I didn't realise how lucky I was to have this on my doorstep!"
