Who takes dances classes?
Salsa and other Latin dances, attracts all walks of life, from mid teens to the over 60 from doctors to students to housewives to business professionals, you name it and we have it!!! So there is never any worry about fitting in! Some people come alone, others in couples or with a group of friends. Salsa is particularly friendly, everyone is there to socialise meet new people and enjoy a common interest.
I’m a complete beginner — can I still join?

Absolutely. We have classes designed for complete beginners every week.

A typical dance night?
Start times vary depending on location. As you arrive you pay at the door and register, from there you can get comfortable, find seat, shed your jacket and possibly get a drink at the bar. Each partner dance class starts with a warm up where all students of all levels get together in lines and follow your instructors steps to a high energy dance track from there we split into our relative groups for an hours tuition. During each class you will learn steps and patterns and apply them to music. After the classes we get the music up and lights down for a social dance practice.
What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes and smooth-soled shoes (leather or flat soles recommended). Avoid sticky trainers — they can make turning and footwork harder and strain your knees. Wearing layers is fine as classes can get warm.

Do I need a partner to join the clas?

No — you don’t need a partner. We rotate partners during class, and many people come solo.

Who can dance?
One of the great things about our Latin Dance classes are, everyone can do it! Young, old, tall, small, ladies and gents even those with 2 left feet can learn to dance. Everybody has to start somewhere, so our complete beginners classes take you through step by step at a pace everyone can follow. Once you feel comfortable with your basic steps you will invited to join the next level – Improvers, and so on until you are a competent advanced dancer.

For our partner dances, you do not have to bring a dance partner as the ratio is generally even and we rotate partners throughout the class. However if you do want to learn with your dance partner and remain together that is also fine. You do not have to book you class in advance, we run a drop in service, so simply turn up and join in
