- I have never danced before and feel I have 2 left feet. How will I go? Isn't Salsa terribly difficult?
- Don’t worry this is a very common way for most people to feel until they get to their first class. In the Beginners level we assume people know absolutely nothing about Latin Dance and show the basics very clearly. We start with Merengue, which is a fun but easy dance. Becoming fluent in Salsa does take a little more time, it's true, but we know that part of the fun is in getting there. For most people it's about learning a new skill and having fun. Check out our Merengue video for a taste of what you could be doing!
- Do I need a partner?
- Absolutely not. We regularly rotate people thoughout the class and always have a few extra helpers around to try to balance out numbers as much as possible.
- I am coming with a partner. Can we dance together?
- Yes. Whether you stay together or swap is entirely up to you. If you feel more comfortable doing your Salsa together that is fine - though if you do change occasionally you will probably find your dancing will come along a bit quicker.
- What do I wear to Salsa?
- Most people dress for comfort at the start (e.g jeans, trousers, shorts, skirts). We have air-conditioning for the hot nights & heating for the cold nights but be prepared to take off a few layers as it is a great workout, and with Salsa and Merengue you will get hot!
- What shoes should I wear? I need special Salsa shoes, right?
- Avoid sports shoes or shoes that grip as they make it harder to put in your salsa moves and to move around on the floor. Also avoid backless sandals or jandals as they tend to slip off as you dance. Other than that anything goes in your beginners course - as you progress however you may like to look for dance shoes but it is not essential and we can help you with that at the time.
- Do I need to book or just turn up?
- We prefer to pre-register so we know how many people will be at the night & can balance numbers as much as possible.
- How can we pay?
- Either cheque (with ID), cash or payment by direct credit.
