Absolutely recommend this class. Have joined the class in September this year and also did 6 hours intensive one day course this November. Truly worth of joining. Great & fun teachers and amazing community. One of the best things I've done this year is to join this class.

Salsa is easy to begin because the basic step is simple and repeats with the music, which is exactly how these beginner classes start. Timing and partner connection then improve with regular practice.
Yes, these classes are built specifically for absolute beginners, so being a non-dancer is the normal starting point. Confidence and rhythm develop over a few sessions.
Yes, the classes rotate partners so you can come on your own and still take part fully. Many attendees arrive alone.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and flat, smooth-soled shoes that let you turn. Bring water, as salsa and bachata can be lively.
Costs vary between drop-in sessions, courses and intensives. For current prices it is best to contact the class organisers directly.
Salsa and bachata are both excellent beginner choices because their basic steps are simple and social. Which you prefer often comes down to the music you enjoy most.
