Salsa is a popular form of social dance originally from Cuba. The movements of Salsa are based on the Afro-Cuban dances like Son, Cha-cha, Mambo and Rumba. The dance, along with Salsa music, saw major development in the mid-1970s, especially in the US, leading to the distinct salsa styles we know today (Cuban Salsa, L.A. style, New York style ...). We teach mainly Salsa Cubana.

Our Salsa Levels
Level 1, our beginners' level, is meant to teach the basics to absolute beginners. We focus on good leading and following and the basic figures of Salsa Cubana (e.g. vuelta, dile que no, enchufla, vacilala, exhibela). After this series of 10 classes you will have nice repertoire of moves to dance an entire song. However, we recommend everyone to take the beginners series twice, to really get the basics down.
In level 2 (improvers) we combine the basic figures into combinations and add styling for both men and women.
During summer classes, bootcamps or parties there is oftentimes an 'open level'. This means this class is accessible for anyone who knows at least the basics of Salsa, but our teachers try to make them also interesting for more experienced dancers.
When in doubt, just check with the teachers and they will happily help you find the right level.
