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.
