Course description

Passionate, sensual and tantalising! Come and learn the steps, style and spirit of Salsa
(today's most popular Latin street dance), using easy-to-follow techniques to the fabulous
sounds of South American Latin music.

It is a social, sensual and sexy dance that not only improves coordination and communication
skills but also helps develop confidence and social skills. This is not only a fun form of exercise,
but also a great way to meet new people. At the end of the course you'll be confident and proficient to dance at any Latin American nightclub.

Latin American nightclubs not only play salsa but other latin dances as well. Our course will give you exposure to those dances and a variety to your dancing. Even thought we'll concentrate on salsa we will also teach you how to dance merengue and some basics in bachata, the latest dance craze in Europe and other parts of the world.

The course will teach students various Latin dance holds, correct dance posture and appealing footwork. Leaders will be taught how to think as they dance and lead their follower's with the correct signals. Followers will be taught how to understand dance signals and respond appropriately, styling their moves for a sensual effect. Most importantly students will be taught how to understand and feel the rhythm of Salsa. As the course progresses students will learn exciting and vibrant Salsa combinations and complex and stimulating Shines steps.

Shines refers to intricate footwork patterns. Dancers display their shines when they break away from their partner in the middle of the dance.

You don't need to come with a partner, individuals as well as couples are welcome. Students are regularly rotated to maximise their learning process and have fun at the same time.
