If your curious

Thinking about joining us for the first time!
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 instruct you in 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 comfortable clothing.
Improvers:
Improvers are shown 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 turn
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).
So what style do we instruct?
We
generally we instruct salsa based on the LA Style. But
just like salsa means a mixture (literally
means sauce) we
also show and include a variety of the other styles
including Cuban Salsa so
that your knowledge of Salsa
dance will be complete!
We look forward to you joining us very soon!
Best Wishes
