Salsa is a South American partner dance and without a doubt one of the most popular Latin dances. With the teaching experience from this course, you can go to any salsa party!
What will we be doing?
In this beginner’s course, you will learn the fundamental basics of Salsa. In addition to the basics, you will learn to perform hip movements, footwork, arm movements and figures.
Participation in the course is only possible in pairs. Each of you needs to register individually and pay separately.
Wear comfortable clothes and preferably jazz shoes for men and Latin dancing shoes for women.
