Our pathway

From two left feet to social dancer

A structured journey that takes anyone to a level where you can walk into any salsa social and dance with anyone.

The fundamental steps, the lead-and-follow connection and your first routine. No experience needed.

Improver

New moves, smoother turns and Rueda de Casino. Your group keeps the same timeslot as you progress.

Intermediate

Styling, more complex combinations, musicality and real fluidity on the dance floor.

Graduate

Join our Legacy group of fully trained dancers. Keep dancing, keep growing, and help newer Buddies.

Three speeds, one destination

Everyone learns differently. At every level we'll guide you to the pace that suits you. Nobody is labelled or held back.

Development pathwayNormalThe traditional route, covering technique, musicality and Rueda.
Performance pathwayRapidoIntensive, with more moves, new content and practice between lessons. Opportunities for choreography and show teams.

Questions

Do I need a partner?

No. Partners rotate during class, like a ceilidh, so you'll dance with everyone. Plenty of our students come on their own.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. Whether you've danced before or think you have two left feet, we'll guide you through it. Our motto: anyone can dance.

Is there an age limit?

Classes are for adults aged 18 and over. Beyond that, age is no barrier.

What should I wear?

Whatever is comfortable. There's no dress code, so jeans and a shirt or sportswear are fine. We do recommend comfortable shoes that let you turn.

Can I just turn up?

We keep classes small for quality teaching, so booking in advance is best. If there's space on the night you're welcome. If a class is full we'll say so on social media, and we'll hold you a place on the next course.

How do I pay?

Book online through TicketSource. If you have any questions about paying, just get in touch.
