HomeAnswers to Your Questions
If you have a question that you can't find here, please feel free to email. Or you can call/text us on: 07863 291074
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. Unlike most ballroom classes where you need to come as a couple, at our salsa classes you can come alone, with a friend OR as a couple. We rotate everyone around in our classes which we find makes for better all-round dancers and is also a lot more sociable. It means that you'll get to know everyone really quickly too!
How much do the classes cost?
Our classes cost £6 each and you just pay as you come in each week.
What sort of footwear should I wear?
The most important thing about footwear is that it stays on your feet. So flip-flops are definitely not good! Shoes that have a non-grip sole (ie: not rubber) are best, but don't worry too much. If you only have rubber soled shoes wear them and if you find that you want to keep dancing, we can advise what's best later.
Am I too old?
We don't have an upper age limit, but most of the people in our classes are from 20 to 50's. We also have quite a number of people older than that and provided you're fit enough to walk at a fast pace, you shouldn't have much of a problem in at least our first 2 levels of class. You'll certainly find people welcoming and friendly.
Am I too young?
Our classes are advertised for adults but we
welcome young students
provided that they understand this and act accordingly. We also need to
know before the class if you're under the age of 18 but you're more
than welcome to attend as long as you bear all of this in mind.
What sort of music do you play?
This may seem like a strange question, but although we play a lot of salsa music at our classes, you can dance salsa to any music that's the right tempo and rhythm. Because of this we like to play a varied mix of music at our classes including R&B, hip hop and pop. We try to keep the music varied and interesting and are always open to requests if they fit with the class.
Can I get a drink there?
At our Bury St Edmunds and King's Lynn classes there are fully licenced bars, so as long as you bring a little extra money, you can get a drink there. At our Sudbury class however, there is no bar, so bringing a drink is a good idea.
What should I wear?
Footwear has been covered above, but for the rest of your outfit, just wear whatever feels comfortable. People usually wear smart casual clothes. Jeans and a t-shirt are fine unless you want to dress up a little which is great too. (You might want to reserve your nicest clothes for the party nights though!).
When can I start?
We start a new beginner class every month, so you never have to wait for too long before starting. We do limit the amount of people in each class though, so booking in advance secures your place so you don't miss out. If you'd like to book for the start of the next course in your nearest town, just check the dates and fill out your details in the side bar at the top right of this page.
I can't make it every week, does that matter?
It all depends on your comittment level. Call to find out how we can help.
I've done some salsa before. Which class should I start in?
This is a tricky question to answer, as it depends on a few factors. If you've done a different style of salsa before (The style we teach is from L.A.), it would be best to start in the beginner class for your first week and see how you get on. If you know how to do the 3 main steps that we teach at the beginner level and you can do them without thinking! you can probably start at level 2. If you're a more experienced dancer, start at level 3!
