What skills do I need at each level?

Salsa On1, Beginners:

Level-1, no dance experience is necessary. In these classes we will be teaching you everything necessary for you to become comfortable with the art of Salsa dancing. Starting with L.A. Salsa basics, in particular the rhythm, timing and the ability to keep it while dancing, basic step, right hand turn, left hand turn and cross body lead. Then we will start from learning how to put together some cool routines, which you will be able to apply on the dance floor, concentrating on lead / follow techniques, for the men and ladies and also how to look cool and stylish on the dance floor.

Salsa On1, Improvers:

Student is expected to know the salsa basics, in particular to find the rhythm and timing on their own, basic step, right hand turn, left hand turn, cross body lead and a reasonable idea on how to lead for the men and for the ladies how to follow that lead. In this class students will be learning the hook-turn, open-break and more foot work with some new moves. Students are expected to dominate with ease, the basic steps together with, right hand turn, left hand turn, cross body lead hook-turns, open-break and maintain the rhythm on the dance floor.

Salsa On1, Intermediates:

Students must be confident at performing cross body lead, basic turns, spins and hook turns. Leads must be strong for the guys and the following of the ladies needs to be sharp. At this level students must be keen to learn more advance moves. In this class we will teach double and multiple spins combinations, groovy dips and ladies /men styling. This level is set in a higher pace, with continuos new moves throughout the four levels.
