Group Classes

You can choose to remain on the same level for as long as you like, learning new moves relevant to that level. Meaning that you can be an expert in Salsa or any other style at any level offered, the only different between is that moves in level 1 are less complex than those of level 2 and so on.

No!!!! You don't need to bring a partner, although if you know of a male or female friend who is interested bring him or her along, to give yourself a chance to win "1 FREE CLASS", or if you enrol two or more students you will receive “ONE HOUR PRIVATE LESSON ON THE STYLE OF YOUR CHOICE ABSOLUTELY FREE”. (Please mention this at the time of purchase to our staff. To receive your bonus prize those students you introduce to our classes must enrol in the full course).

Skill Levels/Requirements

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. In this class we will consolidate your leading/following skills, other turns and moves, double spins and same time preparing you for more groovy and sexy moves that will be learning in the intermediate class.

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.

Salsa On1, Advance: This class will only be available, to students who are absolutely ready for the complexity of its nature. A class designed for students who are already good dancers or at least with the confidence to perform all the intermediates moves with ease, also with certain ambitions towards future dancing, or interested in joining the performance team, or just interested in learning more advance moves. In this class students will be taken through technics to improve their styles to refine their lead/follow skills, multiple spins and turns, tricks, dips and aerial show moves.

Note: this level requires a certain degree of fitness due to the nature of the moves. Your safety is our priority. Students are required to ensure they have a sufficient level of fitness to take on this class and not put themselves or their partner at risk. Salsita Dance School and its Instructors hold no responsibility for any injury sustained during participation in this course.
