Salsa music is phrased in counts of 8. All of the steps you will be learning will fit into an 8 count. However, 2 of the counts are pauses. You will dance on counts of 1,2,3, then pause on 4, and continue to dance on 5,6,7 and pause on 8. This is part 1 of a 2 part (or 8 week) course.

Description
Who is this course for?
For anyone interested in learning beginners Cuban Salsa, with no experience and don’t know if they want to do the full 8 week course.
What you'll need
Clothing: A pair of smooth soled shoes or trainers, the type you can walk in for about an hour and not hurt your feet. Anything that stays with your entire foot when you lift it, and allows you to pivot comfortably on hard wood floors. We advise NO slippers, mules, or footwear that leaves your heel when you lift your foot.
Flats and heels are both OK.
Clothes: anything that’s comfortable and allows easy movement of your arms and legs especially.
Patience and Practice: Salsa is great fun, and once you start to progress it’s also quite challenging, which adds to the fun.
So you should have time to learn, practice, review, and practice again. Repitiion and muscle memory is very important in Salsa.
Eventually though, you’ll get the hang of it. And once you get the basics, the additional complexity and moves become second nature and you’ll want to build on that.
It’s fun, challengin, exciting, and rewarding in so many ways.
A Partner? Yes and No. One of the advantages of our online Salsa classes is that you can learn in your own time, in your own way. Salsa is a partner oriented dance though, so it’s very helpful to have a partner to practice with, and it will definitely help your learning progress.
If however you wish to learn on your own so you can pick up the foundation before attending our venue based classes or even a social Salsa party, then these online course are a perfect starting point!
