Class

Salsa

Salsa is a partner dance on a simple count, with turns that look harder than they are. We teach the count on your own first, in a circle with no partner, so the step is in your feet before anyone takes your hand.

  • Adults 18 and up

  • First night, beginner and improver levels

  • An hour, with the social after

  • Classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday

What a class is like

  1. 01

    Step 1: Warm up and the count

    We clap and step the count together, with no partner, until it feels easy.

  2. 02

    Step 2: The basic

    The forward and back step, on your own and then in pairs.

  3. 03

    Step 3: A first turn

    One turn, shown slowly, with the lead and the follow explained in plain words.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Change partners

    We rotate often, so you meet the whole room and nobody is left waiting.

Good to know

  • What to wear

    Clothes you can move in and shoes with a smooth sole. Clean sneakers are fine for the first nights. Bring water.

  • Class length and size

    An hour, with up to 24 dancers. The social starts when the class ends.

  • Level and moving up

    First night and beginner are the way in. Your teacher tells you when improver fits; there is no test and no rush.
