Friendly venue, love the church hall. I have been there a couple of times with my partner and we both really enjoyed the classes and the freestyle followed by. Jeff is a very friendly and knowledgeable teacher along with the others. If you’re free on a Thursday night, why not spend it there to learn salsa and bachata. 👍— Robert Degay

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa starts out gently, with a basic step most people manage in their first class. Building speed, turns and musicality takes practice, but social dancing comes within reach fairly soon.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Definitely. Most beginners here have never danced before, and the club teaches the fundamentals of timing and partnering from scratch.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, adults can learn ballet with regular practice, developing posture and control over time. This club focuses on salsa and bachata rather than ballet, so ballet would be pursued elsewhere.

What age is too late to start ballet?

It is never too late to enjoy ballet for fitness and pleasure. People begin at every stage of life.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Frequent basics include the grapevine, the shuffle, the pivot turn, the kick-ball-change and the heel dig. These simple moves form the backbone of most routines.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A short four-wall dance with a repeating pattern is usually the easiest to start with. Since this club specialises in Latin styles, contacting them directly is the best way to learn what runs each week.
