CLASS CONTENT AND LEVEL GUIDE

Salsa has a consistent rhythm and once this is understood there are lots of turn patterns and moves that can be learnt and danced to the music. however, Salsa is NOT a choreographed dance. The underlying emphasis in all classes is to teach the guys how to lead correctly and the ladies how to interpret the guys lead. The class guide below will help you understand what is taught at each level. If you are not sure which class is most suited to your level please ask.

• Basic salsa partnering forward back, side to side, cross body lead, single turns, breaking back

Learning Time (~approx 4 - 6 weeks)

Experienced Beginner
