Frequently Asked Questions

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Absolutely, most people in a beginner salsa class have never danced before. The steps are taught in small pieces, so you build confidence gradually rather than needing any background.

Yes, adults take up ballet all the time and benefit from the posture, strength and control it develops. Beginner adult classes assume no prior training and progress at a sensible speed.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper limit; people begin ballet in their thirties, fifties and well beyond. What changes is the goal, with most adults dancing for enjoyment, fitness and technique rather than a stage career.
