Best For: 🟡Improver 🟠Improver+
Class Type: 90% Partnerwork + 10% Footwork, On1 & On2.
Class Contents: We will start this class by practising and memorising a fun Salsa On1 routine at Improver level that is easy and accessible.

Instructor: 💃Hannah
Best For: 🟠Improver+ 🔴Intermediate
Class Type: 100% Footwork (solo), On1.
Class Contents: How do you properly step into the floor, let the weight transfer move up throughout your body, and get that typical salsa shoulder-arm contra movement that you see in good salsa dancers? Properly learning how to moving your body (parts) is the thing that will elevate ALL of your dancing to the next level!
