Beginners Levels 1 & 2
We have beginners classes on each night we have running. Please wear comfortable shoes preferably with leather soles. If you're feeling a bit nervous about joining in a class, please don't be. We strive to maintain a friendly atmosphere while we teach you your first few steps on your way to becoming a salsero! Bringing a partner is not essential. There is no strict dress code but we do recommend smart casual clothing.

Improvers
Improvers are taught more turn patterns where timing and precision for leads are emphasised for the gents. Ladies will be taught various types of styling ie, what to do with arms when they come out of a spin. Also how to read, be flexible and relax when following the gents lead.

Intermediate/Advanced
This is for the more progressed dancer. Intricate patterns are put together to help you advance in your freestyle routines.


So What Is Salsa All About...?


Salsa Music
Salsa is a fusion of music that was produced by musicians that moved to New York from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia etc... in the 50's and 60's. They all brought their styles together to form Salsa!

Salsa Dance
Salsa dance originates from Cuba. At the moment there are three main styles of salsa dance:

• Cuban Style where partners travel around each other in a circular motion.
• LA Style were partners swap positions in a straight line called cross-body and danced on the one.
• New York Style, once again using cross-body but danced on the two - mambo - with more emphasis on shines (fancy footwork).
