Which class is the right one for me?

Beginners (Level 1):

Learn to partner dance with some great moves but with the simple foot movement of 'Merengue' (an easy 1,2 walking rhythm). Move on through the term to the beginnings of Salsa with the 'quick, quick, slow' foot movement. Check out our salsa FAQ if you'd like to know more - some of our Social Salsa Dancing Etiquette info is relevant to classes as well.

Teenagers/Kids  (Level 1-3):

A blend of Merengue, Salsa, ChaCha, Samba & Hip Hop. Classes focus mostly on performance work and learning Dance Routines. Ages 10-15 yrs welcome.

Beginner Improvers (Level 2):

Further develop your Merengue with more dynamic moves & that will keep you smiling! Strenghten your Salsa leading, timing & following and start developing some nice combinations of moves.

Tushar and Donna, two Latin dance instructors from Latin Fire Dance studio in Christchurch New ZealandImprovers Plus (Level 3):

Further develop your Salsa with more complicated turn patterns adding some basic dips. This level will help lead you into becoming a more confident all-round Salsa dancer.

Samba:

Samba is a lively rhythmical dance originating in Brazil. This is a Solo dance without a partner. Samba is a fast & energetic dance with great feet , arm & hip movements, so an awesome way to keep fit aswell as learn a fantastic dance style!!

Hip Hop:

The dancing styles will be a mix of Hip-hop n Rhythm. All moves are original and easy to learn, but look phat when pulled off!
What will I learn?: Students will learn the basics of how to hip-hop dance and how to keep to the beat. They will be taught a dance set which will change every few weeks and build up to be a set routine for a performance (ior just keep it fun if they dont want to perform).

Zumba:

Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance fitness class, which incorporates dance movements to Latin and International music creating a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness system!!!
Its fun "exercise in disguise!"
It's different; the music... the moves... the atmosphere... 
I'ts easy to follow and designed for everyone at any fitness level!
I'ts effective training to tone the entire body and desired fitness goals!
A partner is not neccessary, just come along & have some awesome fun!!
 
What to wear:  comfortable work out attire / flat supportive shoes ie gym trainers
 
What to bring:  Sweat towel / Water bottle / and lots of energy!

Stretch & Toning:

Give something back to your body!! Stretching your muscles is good to increase your flexibility aswell as protecting the muscles in your joints. Conditioning will be working on your core strength focusing on abdominal & back muscles.
