Beginners

"Do I need a partner?"

"Which style should I start with?"

Having a partner to come to class with would be nice but it's not necessary. We generally have a good balance of leads and follows and we rotate partners during class.

For couples, it is not mandatory to rotate but it's highly recommended as it is vital to learning the lead and follow. In addition, it's a lot more fun and it's a great way to meet everyone in class.

"Which style should I start with?"

Chances are, whether you decide to start with Salsa or bachata, you will decide to learn both down the track. In saying that, we recommend to start with Salsa. It is more challenging but when you decide to learn Bachata, the transition is generally easier. Transitioning from Bachata to Salsa has proven to be more difficult. Once you master the basics of Salsa On1 and progress through level 2 and above, the transition to dancing Salsa On2 and even Cha-Cha-Cha is easier.

"What do I wear?"

"Which style should I start with?"

"What can I expect when I start classes?"

It's best to dress casually and comfortably. Make sure your shoes are secure on your feet, so slippers, thongs and sandals are not recommended.

For the ladies, try not to wear high heels as they are not designed for dancing and we don't want you damaging them or hurting yourself. If you want to wear heels we have dance shoes on sale at the studio.

"What can I expect when I start classes?"

It can be very daunting for some at the beginning and this is natural. Be sure to arrive 10 minutes early to allow for the sign-in process and ensure the class starts on time. When class starts, the instructor will introduce him/herself and the class will begin with some basic steps. You will then move onto the partner work where you will partner up with a fellow student. Be sure to bring mints and deodorant just in case.
