Cuban Salsa Dance Course for Adult Beginners: Autumn 2026

Discover the joy of salsa dancing with James, our experienced instructor with 17 years of teaching Cuban Salsa! No matter your dance background, James understands the nerves of beginners, having started his salsa journey in his 40s.

Join our salsa dance course where you'll master the fundamental footwork and rhythms of Cuban Salsa. From dancing in hold to transitioning to the open position ("Casino"), you'll learn inside and outside turns as a lead or a follow. It's not just about learning moves; we'll guide you on effective leading and following for a seamless social dance experience.

Our classes are conducted in "La Rueda," (The Wheel) creating a friendly and inclusive environment for everyone to learn and make new friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and low-pressure, with plenty of breaks for you to enjoy the learning process. Cap off each session by practicing to music in a social setting, reinforcing what you've learned.

By the end of the five sessions, you'll feel confident stepping onto the dance floor.  Embrace the rhythm, meet like-minded individuals, and embark on a journey of fun and connection through salsa dancing!

If you have attended a few classes previously but haven’t danced for a while, we recommend that you attend the beginners’ sessions.
