Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is quite approachable for beginners once the basic timing clicks, which is what early classes concentrate on. With a bit of regular practice it soon starts to feel natural.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, complete non-dancers learn salsa all the time, starting from the very first step. Beginner classes assume no prior experience whatsoever.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

It is entirely possible, and many adults take up ballet for the first time and thoroughly enjoy the discipline and grace it brings. Adult classes are paced for those starting later in life.

What age is too late to start ballet?

No age is too late to begin ballet; people take it up in their twenties, forties and well beyond. What matters most is enjoying the movement and progressing at your own pace.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many dance styles, including ballet and line dancing, are danced solo, and in partner styles teachers usually arrange things so you can join in without bringing anyone.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move freely in is ideal, together with the right footwear for the style, such as soft ballet shoes or smooth-soled shoes for social dance. Bring water, and check with the school if a class needs anything specific.
