Salsa is fairly quick to pick up at a basic level, with the core step learnable in a session or two. As this studio specialises in street dance, it is best to ask directly whether salsa features on the timetable.
Yes, salsa can be learned from scratch, since beginner classes assume no prior experience. Anyone who enjoys moving to music can get to grips with the basics.
Line dancing often builds on the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Put together in sequence, these moves make up most beginner routines.
Beginner line dances that repeat a short pattern around four walls are the easiest to master. Familiar standards are a friendly starting point for anyone new.
Yes. Street dance and line dancing are danced solo or as a group, so no partner is needed. This makes the studio's classes ideal for coming along on your own.
Comfortable, flexible clothing and supportive trainers are best for street dance. Tie back long hair for the more energetic routines, and bring water.
