Salsa, Cairns - Questions and answers

Do I need to bring a partner?
No. You will find men and women of various ages and backgrounds to dance with. During classes we like to rotate partners so that everybody gets a chance to dance with everybody.


What to wear?
Come and be as you are. Best are shoes that are comfortable and don’t stick to the ground. If you only have shoes with (very) sticky/rubbery soles put some tape on the soles where the ball of your foot is to make turns easier.


How soon can I go and dance in the clubs?
We encourage beginners to go to salsa clubs as soon as they feel comfortable with the basics, which should not take longer than a month. If you dance with 10 different people a night, this will get you to the next level soon. Stay or come for the Salsa practice after the intermediate/adv. class - that's a great relaxed place to get started!

Can I just do the Salsa practice only - without classes?
Of course! However, there is a little entrance fee. Practice is free if you attend a class.


I want to learn it really fast – how?

Take regular classes. Perhaps try different teachers. Take a private lesson for every 5 hours you can practice. And keep practising – also on your own – we show you the exercises!

Which style do you teach?
Unlike teachers who concentrate on a particular style of Salsa, we cover and explain the entire spectrum from Cuban to Los Angeles style Salsa. We also emphasise the street dance character, designed for people who love dancing with different people on the (social) dance floor.

If you aim to dance on stage (shows/competitions) doing choreograped moves we recommend to check out other schools many of which emphasise show dance which requires a different skill-set, attitude and approach.

If you are serious about social partner dancing (or just want to improve your Salsa!) you might also want to consider taking (Argentine) Tango lessons (www.funkytango.com) in addition to Salsa. Knowing Salsa and Tango you will become free to improvise and have fun on any dance floor, club or party!

”Our classes will enable you to dance with the music and your partner not only in Cairns but also in most cities worldwide.”

After London (6y), San Francisco (2y), Buenos Aires(6m) and Sydney (2y)- how long will you stay in Cairns?
We do not have any plans at this stage but will probably move on to the next city/country in a year or two.

"The drop-in sessions mean there is no pressure to attend every week (which is hard with a busy schedule). "

"… a relaxed, friendly approach which makes it easy for
beginners to join in."
