Salsa is a sexy, energetic and fun partner dance. Unlike some partner dances, it is a very sociable dance - you don't need to have a regular partner. In fact, it is common for salsaros to dance with people they have never met before. That's part of the fun of dancing Salsa.

With it's sociable nature, Salsa has become highly popular, all around the world. Today, you can easily find Salsa clubs wherever you go; in Asia, North and South America, and Europe.

1. It's fun and easy to pick up. There are no demanding pre-requisites on flexibility and strength, so anyone, regardless of background and age, can be proficient within months.

2. Salsa's fast pace and high energy moves will give you a good cardiovascular workout and build body awareness.

3. You get to meet fun-loving people from all walks of life, with the same interest in dance.

No worries. Just like you, most of our students do not have any dance experience. Our Level One A Salsa class is structured for beginners, with clear, step-by step instructions on what to do and how to move, every step of the way. With a little practice and patience, you'll be able to dance by the end of your first lesson.

Not at all. Many students come for the class alone, or with a group of friends. In any case, during the class, you will be partnered up with your classmates. Partners will be rotated during each class so that everyone gets a chance to have a partner. If we have an imbalance, students without partners simply wait between pairs for the next rotation. We will be rotating partners frequently throughout the class.

Rotating partners is not solely for social reasons; it is critical to the learning process. Although everyone has a different style, the "lead" signals that are used in salsa are generally standardized (within the different styles of salsa). Therefore, if your lead signals are clear (as a leader), or if you're able to interpret these signals accurately (as a follower), then you should be able to dance with any salsero. Dancing with different partners will give you a true test of whether your leading/following technique is correct.

It is absolutely your choice if you wish to dance only with your partner outside of class. However, during class, it is necessary to rotate partners as that is part of the learning process.

Alternatively, if you do not wish to rotate partners, you can do a private class instead. With a private class, you can structure it according to your preference and learn at your own pace. If you would like to arrange for a private class, please click here.

It depends on which class you are referring to. In general, you can expect at least 12 new students in a class, which is the minimum number required to start a class. For classes on salsa, bachata and merengue, we take in up to 26 new students. For classes not involving partner work, the number will vary, depending on the nature of the lesson.

For shoes - Anything that stays with your entire foot when you lift it, and allows you to pivot comfortably on hard wood floors. Absolutely NO slippers, mules, or footwear that leaves your heel when you lift your foot. Flats and heels are both allowed. Sneakers are also allowed, as long as they do not cause too much friction when you pivot.

For clothes - Anything that’s comfortable and allows easy movement of your arms and legs especially. Office wear or exercise gear is fine too. Preferably no short, tight skirts which restrict movement, and no long flowing skirts, which tend to obscure the feet.

If you can't make it for a particular lesson (e.g. Sat), you can attend the class that's offered on the other day (e.g. Wed), in the same week. The lesson will be the same. In addition, remember that you can come back for the same-level class, as often as you like, for free. Do note that your participation is subject to space availability. And of course, the students who are registered for that class will get first priority.

For every lesson (with the exception of the first lesson), we also do a detailed recap of the previous week's lesson at the beginning of class. So if you can't make it for the previous lesson, you may be able to catch up then.
