Salsa Courses
Which level of course to choose
Our structured courses our tailored to suit the ability of each group in general. Despite this, individuals do progress with their dancing at different rates and we are keen to find the most suitable level for everyone. It's often a good idea to repeat courses to perfect timing and co-ordination, especially with the foundation basic steps (i.e. Dile Que No, Casino and Enchufla). After all, to dance with fluidity and ease, it's all about lots and lots of repetition and practise. If you need any guidance at all about which level of course to book for, then please contact me. The cost to repeat a course is just £30.
Taster Classes
Don't be shy! If you're not ready to commit to a six week course but would like to give salsa a try for the first time, come along to one of our taster sessions. The sessions, which last for an hour, are fun and relaxed and assume no previous salsa (or any dance!) experience.
The next free taster session will be held at Franklands Village Hall, Haywards Heath on Friday 5th March at 8.30 p.m. and provides an ideal opportunity to 'try before you buy'. Please contact Julia to reserve your place.
