What Dancers Say About Salsa Freedom Dance Classes

5/5 from 136 Google reviews.

I actually joined salsa classes by accident after a difficult break up a few months ago and I enjoyed it so much that what was supposed to be a one off class became part of my regular routine. The classes are fun and everyone can find something for themselves – beginners class is slower paced and explains the basic steps really well. The intermediate/advanced class can be a good challenge even for experienced dancers. All classes are held in a super friendly atmosphere and Jordan’s energy matches the positive latin vibe. He always finds time to repeat steps and provide extra explanations for — Justyna Szymanska

So, let's start off with, I don't write reviews unless I'm really impressed. This was my first time going for a private salsa dance class. I honestly didn't know what to expect. Soon as me and my partner met Jordan, he seemed friendly right from the start, always had a smile. Jordan thought us 5 dance moves I believe haha, it was amazing,,, remember we are complete beginners so you'd tend to get some dance moves wrong or mixed up.. which is very normal and part of the learning process. Well Jordan gave us the confidence we needed and honestly speaking it was perfect. right from start to finish— Daniel G

I had been learning salsa for several years when a friend suggested trying out a Cuban Rueda Salsa class in the centre of Manchester. I was a little apprehensive to try a new style of salsa, but as soon as I arrived the instructor (Jordan) came over to shake my hand and welcome me to his class, which made me feel at ease. When the class started I quickly appreciated Jordan's expertise and how much fun a group dance could be. As the years have passed I have improved a lot – learning how to lead, keep time to the music and move far better than before (still a long way to go). Jordan always makes— Kevin Bolton

Jordan's classes are great fun, every class builds on a recent routine or adds something new, which helps to maintain your abilities and confidence. Jordan is an excellent teacher who has a friendly, no pressure approach and he breaks down the moves step by step. All the students are friendly and the more advanced students appreciate when complete beginners join the class that they may be nervous and unsure of the steps. Everyone is understanding of this as we have all been there! There is no need to feel embarrassed or pressured – we are all learning new moves every week and the advanced stud— Alex Kostecky

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is very approachable at beginner level, since the basic step is a simple weight-transfer pattern you can pick up in a single lesson. Progress comes from regular practice, and the sociable group format here makes that easier to keep up.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, most people who start have no dance background at all. Classes are built to take absolute beginners from the basic step upward at a comfortable pace.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Adults can certainly take up ballet, though this particular school focuses on salsa and Latin styles. For ballet specifically it is worth contacting a dedicated ballet provider in Manchester.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper age limit for beginning ballet as a hobby, and adult classes exist precisely for later starters. The main thing is finding a class pitched at your level.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common line-dance building blocks include the grapevine, the step-touch, the kick-ball-change, the pivot turn and the shuffle. Line dancing is a separate style from the salsa taught here, so ask about what is currently on the timetable.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Simple, repetitive routines are the friendliest place to start in line dancing because the same short sequence repeats in each direction. If line dancing is what you are after, get in touch to check availability.
