What Dancers Say About Salsa Rocks Leeds

4.8/5 from 20 Google reviews.

Salsa Rocks provides truly exceptional salsa teaching, a great environment and venue for learning, all within a warm, friendly and non pretentious atmosphere.

The team ( key male and female teachers) adopt a very nuanced approach to teaching, by stressing the absolute fundamentals of how each move works by deconstructing moves in to their constituent parts.
This approach allows learners to learn comprehensively-correct techniques, with no room for ambiguity. Hence, the teaching of correct dance habits at inception.
