1.
What do I wear?
Men: The most important thing is that you are comfortable. A smart
T-shirt or cotton shirt is usually fine. If you are feeling quite
confident you might decide to sport a trendy vest. Smart Jeans or
trousers are usually fine for the bottom half.
Comfortable shoes should be worn but avoid trainers or heavy shoes as
they can impede your dancing.
Women: Again wear what is comfortable, but if you are going to dance
Salsa a long tight straight skirt might spoil your evening.
Footwear should be comfortable and might be needed to protect your
feet from the occupational hazard of kicks and scrapes. Avoid wearing
court shoes or sandals.
2. Do I need a partner?
Although you might find your ideal dance partner at a Salsa class or
club, you don't need one to start off with. The great thing about
Salsa is that you can go to Salsa classes on your own.

BEGINNERS ALWAYS WELCOME & NO NEED TO BOOK. |
3. What type of person does
Salsa?
The fact is that almost anyone can try Salsa if they have a love of
the music and the dance. At our classes, people from many walks of
life and age ranges. We currently have a gentleman, who comes along,
who is an amazing 81 years old!

4. How often will I
need to take lessons?
It depends on your confidence and your personal ability. You should
probably take lessons twice a week when starting so that you can get a
firm grounding in those all important basic steps and techniques
5. What is special about
your classes?
At the Salsa classes the emphasis is on friendliness and fun. Of
course we also emphasise the need for good technique and the need to
listen to the music when dancing.
|
There is always a chance to practice
afterwards. |
Salsa
dancing is a great way to relax and energise yourself at the same time! A
typical hours worth of dancing can burn oodles of Calories. It is a great
stress buster and icebreaker. A good confidence building activity.

ALL AGES and LEVELS OF FITNESS CAN become SALSA
FIT!! |
6. How often do you have
parties?
Our fiestas happen every week. They are a good
opportunity for the old and new faces to come together.
7. How do I
remember what I have been taught?
Remembering what you have been taught is a matter of practice and
experience. At each class there is always an opportunity to practice
afterwards. The students, who progress quite quickly, can be found
practising after the classes.
8.
What type of music do you play at your classes and parties?
As we teach "Cuban salsa" we favour Salsa
Cubana. We will play a few Merengue tracks during the night, to get
the party going. Basically any
music which can be danced to with Salsa or Merengue steps will always
go down well. We are most happy to play requests - so bring along your
favourite CD to guarantee hearing it on any night we FIESTA!
