Cuban Salsa Intensive for Adult Beginners

Discover the joy of salsa dancing in this three-day intensive short course led by James, our experienced instructor with 15 years of teaching Cuban Salsa. No matter your dance background, James understands the nerves of beginners, having started his salsa journey in his 40s.

The course offers the chance to 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, whilst being guided on effective leading or following for a seamless social dance experience.

Sessions will be conducted in "La Rueda," (The Wheel) creating a friendly and inclusive environment for everyone to learn and make new friends, whether attending the course as an individual or couple.

The course takes place in our beautiful studios and will have a relaxed, low pressure atmosphere, with plenty of breaks for you to enjoy the learning process. Cap off each day by practicing to music in a social setting, reinforcing what you've learned.

By the end of the course, you'll feel confident stepping onto the dance floor and joining Cornwall’s thriving community of Salseros!
