Will I be fit enough?…

The 3 Hour intensive is carefully structured so that anyone of average fitness can enjoy the day.

We ask that if you have any condition that may affect your performance, you seek professional advice before booking. You may be a little stiff the following day so please stretch before you go to bed.

==

Am I a beginner?… Or Improver?

If you have never had a salsa class before, or you have tried a couple of salsa classes you are a beginner. No expertise in another dance qualifies you for salsa although you can expect to find aspects of the course easier. An excellent natural definition of a salsa beginner is that you cannot keep the footwork sequence going consistently.

Improvers generally have been dancing more than 4 months (i.e. more than 16 lessons, and 8 hours of social dancing). We understand that everyone learns differently so this is just a guide. We can offer a short free 5 minute assessment if you are unsure of your level.

==

Do I need a partner?…

You do not need to book with a partner as our booking system balances the number of men and women booked onto the course. Couples will be required to mix and change partners throughout the day. This is a great fun way to learn quickly.

==

What do I wear?…

Although people usually dress to impress in the salsa clubs, at our classes, comfortable clothing are your priority. Footwear is important. We recommend smooth-soled shoes or trainers. Ladies should wear shoes of the same height as they are used to. Above all wear shoes that are comfortable, not brand-new ones. Clothing: Comfortable casual clothes, a spare top or t-shirt, and a towel is recommended. Refreshments: Water and biscuits will be available. Bring a sandwich or two if you want.

Where can I park?

PARKING:  On Saturdays roads close to the club have a limit of 2 hours for metered bays.
