Any casual clothing is fine. Just wear what you feel comfortable in. Please bear in mind that salsa is very good exercise and you'll probably get quite hot, so layers are a good idea.

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 and will help ensure you do not restrict your movement or injure yourself. If you only have rubber soled shoes, wear them and we have some dance 'socks' you can buy at class which slip on over most trainers/flat shoes. If you find that you want to keep dancing, we can advise what shoes are best to buy later.

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!

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.

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. Also, if you're below the age of 16, you'll need to be accompanied by an adult, but you're more than welcome to attend as long as you bear all of this in mind.

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.

At our Bury St Edmunds class there's a fully licenced bar, but at our King's Lynn and Sudbury classes there isn't, so make sure you bring a bottle of water (or similar) with you.

Beginner Level If you have not danced salsa before, or if you are new to LA- style salsa, you will need to start in the beginner class which is suitable for absolute beginners or for those who need a refresher. There is some footwork to learn but we quickly progress you to partner dancing. We teach a course of foundation salsa moves designed to enable you to enjoy freestyle partner dancing as soon as possible. If you haven't danced salsa before with us or think the beginner level is right for you, we suggest you book our Beginner Classes. If you have been in our beginner level before and are ready to try the next level you can choose from our 'Subscription' or 'Pay As You Go' class options. Improver Level This is suitable for anyone who has learned the foundation salsa moves that we cover in our beginner level and feels confident executing these in social dancing. This level covers a mix of moves – both new moves and variations of those you learn in the beginner course. Everyone learns and develops confidence at a different pace but to give you an idea, you could, with practice, move up to this level after about 1 or 2 months in the beginner class. Intermediate Level This is suitable for someone who feels like they are ready for a new challenge and who can dance beginner and improver level moves with confidence. Each week will feature a new unique routine which you can learn and practice in social dancing and at home after the class. Your teacher will cover the moves in detail and break down the steps, the lead/follow techniques and styling options. Advanced Level This class is for anyone who can dance intermediate level moves with confidence. Each week will feature a new unique routine which you can learn and practice in social dancing and at home after the class. Your teacher will cover the moves in detail and break down the steps, the lead/follow techniques and styling options. Our Secret Salsa teachers can help guide you regarding the best level. For more experienced dancers it can sometimes it can help to revisit more foundation levels for a time to help improve confidence or focus on specific areas of your dancing you wish to improve. Please note not all of the above levels are available at our classes at all times.

No. You can do any of our classes on a 'drop in' basis.

We also have a great subscription offer for people who can't attend every week. Perfect for shift workers or those with other commitments.

At Secret Salsa, we teach LA-style salsa. This style of salsa was popularized in Los Angeles but is now danced around the world. It is danced in the ‘slot’, similar to New York-style salsa but is distinguished from it for being danced on the 1 beat rather than on 2.
