Questions about salsa classes

Our level system in short:

• Beginners 1, 2, 3: for people just starting out. Each course takes about 12 weeks; after Beginners 1–3 you have around 9 months of experience.
• Improvers 1, 2, 3: for dancers who know the basics. After Improvers 1–3 you have about 1.5 years of experience in total.
• Intermediate: usually for dancers with about 2 years of consistent classes and practice.
• Advanced: for dancers with more than 2 years of solid experience, ready for more challenging material.

No, you can sign up on your own. We rotate partners regularly during class so everyone dances with everyone. Coming with a fixed partner and prefer not to rotate? That's fine too.

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Shoes with a smooth sole (no rubber or grippy sneakers) are ideal. As an absolute beginner you don't need special dance shoes yet.

Absolutely! Our beginner classes teach you the basics step by step. Everyone can start.

We work with fixed seasons. You'll find exact start dates in the class schedule. Joining mid-season is often possible too.

Not at all! Our teachers are enthusiastic and patient and guide you at your own pace. Most people find the very beginning exciting, but once they experience the classes it gets much easier. Don't be afraid to make mistakes: we all do, teachers included!

It depends on your background and how often you take classes and practise. After Beginners 1 you can already dance salsa; after Beginners 3 you'll feel confident at a party. We recommend two classes a week and at least two social nights a month.

No, we teach salsa and bachata. We don't offer kizomba.

Not as an absolute beginner. At higher levels we definitely recommend salsa shoes for ladies. Men spin less and don't strictly need them, but dance shoes are recommended for advanced men too. In Arnhem we recommend Ready to Dance (readytodance.nl), specialists in dance shoes.

Salsa is great cardio, so it definitely helps. The best part: it's fun. Time flies while you dance, and you burn plenty of calories along the way.
