Beginner level – The most important level, this course is aimed for the student who has little or no experience in salsa. We start from the very beginning with all the salsa basics, rhythm & timing. We will then continue with the fundamentals of partner dancing, basic lead and following techniques, turns and how to put it all together into basic figures and fun easy flowing variations.
* All dancers are encouraged to attend Beginner level, as this helps build a better groundwork for all other movements, and to reinforce good habits (and hopefully un-learn bad ones!). If you've done Beginner level elsewhere, you'll want to attend, because chance are you've never been taught quite like this, and benefits are enormous! Even if you've done Beginner level before with us, you will want to attend again to help reinforce correct habits.
Improver level - For those who have completed Beginner Level and feel they are ready to move on, or may have done salsa courses elsewhere and are not sure where they fit in. This course will explore how you can change the look of the basics you have learned in Level 1 without changing the actual basic steps. It is here you will creatively explore the beginners level further and find out how much fun it can really be with the simplicity of the basics and its variations! This course will also give you an even more solid foundation and understanding of the basics and build your confidence to prepare you for the next level.
Partners are not required, as we will rotate throughout the night.
Hope to see you all there!
