Salsa is a sociable and energetic dance style, and our one-day crash course - Salsa Intensive - Beginners Classes - is a great way to start learning. Over the course of the day you will be introduced to essential Salsa steps and moves in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

The day will be split into two three-hour sessions, starting with the basics and slowly building your steps and transitions into more complex combinations. There will be time to practice your new moves, so that you can gain confidence in your new skills and get ready to use them on any dance floor.

UNDERSTANDING OUR SALSA & BACHATA CURRICULUM

Salsa and bachata are beautifully rich dances, full of technique, musicality, and finesse and like any true art form, they take time to develop and refine.

Each course within our curriculum is designed to be repeated, often more than once. You’ll work closely alongside your peers and your tutor, who will guide you in mastering every element of the material. When you’re ready, you’ll receive a sign-off to progress to the next level, ensuring a solid and confident foundation at every stage.

To support your learning, our bi-monthly afternoon Salsa Social is a friendly, welcoming, and safe space where you can practise what you’ve learned in class, build confidence on the dance floor, and most importantly, have fun.

Think of salsa as a marathon, not a sprint. There’s no rush, the joy is in the journey, slow and steady, with lots of smiles along the way.

Our role is to guide you and inspire you. We can’t wait to see you in class.
