FAQ
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. You will find men and women of all ages and backgrounds to dance with. During classes we rotate partners so that everyone gets a chance to dance with everyone. You will be surprised how quickly you make new friends here. However, bring your friends/partners and get them to start dancing, it’s a lots of fun!
What should I wear?
What you wear is up to you as long as your clothes are comfortable and don’t restrict your movement. Jeans or casual clothing is good. Wear shoes that are comfortable and do not stick to the floor as this will make it difficult for you to turn. Definitely no bare feet or flip-flops. Keep in mind that some class venues might have their own dress regulations (eg clubs) so if you’re still not sure about what to wear just contact us and we’ll let you know.
How soon can I go and dance in the clubs?
We encourage beginners to go to salsa clubs as soon as they feel comfortable with the basics, which should not take longer than a month. If you dance with 10 different people a night, this will get you to the next level soon.
I want to learn it really fast - how?
Take regular classes. Perhaps try different teachers. Take a private lesson for every 5 hours you can practice. And keep practising - also on your own - we show you the exercises!
Is it compulsory to join an entire 8 week course, can I just drop in?
You can take our classes on a drop-in basis, however attending a structured course you learn more and will not miss anything. If you’re serious about dancing, it’s better to register and do the entire 8 week course. Besides, it’s a better value.
I prefer learning in smaller/larger (more social) group classes what do you recommend?
Some people like the social atmosphere of larger groups while others prefer to get maximum personal attention in the class. Our classes are typically 15-30 people so you get plenty of individual attention and at the same time get a chance to dance with everyone.
Which style do you teach?
Unlike others who concentrate on a particular style of Salsa, we cover and explain the entire spectrum from Cuban to Los Angeles style Salsa. We also emphasise the street dance character, designed for people who love dancing with many partners on the (social) dance floor.
If you’re planning to dance on stage (shows/competitions) doing choreographed moves, we recommend to check out other excellent schools in Sydney many of which emphasise show dance which requires a different skill-set, attitude and approach.
“Our classes will enable you to dance with the music and your partner not only in Sydney but also in most cities worldwide.”
