One of the few Salsa schools to be headed by two
lady instructors, Two Left Feet was founded by Jean Goh and Wendy Yee
in Dec 2003. It was borne out of a passion to share the knowledge and
experience that Jean and Wendy have accumulated over the years, and a
desire to raise the level of Salsa dancing in Singapore.
Since then, Two Left Feet has built a reputation for her clear and
structured teaching style, attention to detail, strong focus on Salsa
foundations, and dedication to their students. Today, Two Left Feet
is well known among local salsaroes as the school to go to for
building strong foundations in Latin street dances.
Two Left Feet offers classes and workshops on Salsa On1 (slot style) and other street Latin dances
such as Bachata, Merengue, Cha Cha, Casino Rueda, Salsa On2 (New York
style) and most recently, the Brazilian partner dance of Zouk. The school has also conducted exclusive workshops
and performances for
corporations and private organizations, such as:
- MediaCorpTV
- Starhub Ltd
- Nanyang Technological University
- National University of Singapore
- Deutsche Bank
- Credit-Suisse
- Citibank
- IBM
- Laguna Golf and Country Club
- Hill and Knowlton
- Sumitomo Bakelite
Formed in 2006, the Two Left Feet Performance Team has performed at various events, including the prestigious
2006 West Coast Salsa Congress in Los Angeles, the 7th Annual New
York Salsa Congress (2007), 2009 Sydney Salsa Congress and the Malaysian Salsa
Festival 2006 through 2008. They were also one of two teams personally invited by
Jaime Jesus, director of Latin Dance Australia, to perform at the
2007 Sydney Salsa Congress.

| What is the focus of the Two Left
Feet instructors? |
|
“First impressions last, and the secret to a
memorable dance is to be able to make your partner feel and look
good...regardless of their level of experience. This shall be a signature
ability of anyone who has invested time with Two Left Feet.”
- Alex Chui, Resident Instructor

“Having danced with some of the world’s best
salsa dancers, I’ve noticed that they all have two things in common
– a great lead and excellent connection. Therefore, my focus is on
teaching the gents the fundamentals of leading and connecting, so
that the ladies who dance with them will feel absolutely wonderful,
and will want to dance with them again and again.”
- Jean Goh, Resident Instructor

“The key to being an irresistible female dancer
is good following. No matter how flashy you are, if you can't follow
well, you won't be pleasant to dance with. Ladies who practice good
following can adapt to different partners and different styles, and
good salsa dancers will find them wonderful to dance with. My focus
for the ladies will be on how to follow the guy's lead well, because
good following equals great dancing!”
- Wendy Yee, Resident Instructor
