If you have already discovered the joy of salsa dancing and now wish to build upon the basics, this is the course for you.
Join James, our experienced instructor with 15 years of teaching Cuban Salsa, for this fun, four session course where you’ll continue to master the footwork and rhythms of this vibrant dance form.
The improvers course is suitable for participants who are reasonably confident in their footwork and with moves such as enchufa, exhibila and dile que no.
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.
Embrace the rhythm, meet like-minded individuals, and continue your journey of fun and connection through salsa dancing!

Booking to lead or follow:
Please specify whether you would prefer to lead, follow or if you are happy to do either.
In Cuban salsa, the lead is responsible for initiating and signalling moves, while the follow is responsible for responding, executing, and adding their own style. The lead provides the structure and direction, and the follow maintains their own balance and momentum to complete the moves, making it a dynamic partnership rather than a rigid hierarchy.
