About Salsa Northwest

The feel is warm and easy-going, with regulars enjoying their weekly Monday-night lessons with teacher Phil. It comes across as the kind of class you look forward to as much for the company as the dancing. Newcomers can expect a friendly reception rather than anything intimidating.

Classes & Dance Styles

Classes concentrate on salsa, introducing the basic step, timing and partnerwork before building towards turns and combinations. Beginners are guided from the ground up, so no prior experience is needed to join in. The pace is relaxed enough to enjoy while you learn. As confidence grows, there is room to add more variety to your dancing.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

A first-timer can expect a friendly welcome and teaching that assumes you know nothing to start with. Wear comfortable clothing and flat, smooth-soled shoes that turn easily. You are welcome to come alone, as partners tend to rotate in class.

Location & Contact

The classes serve dancers in the north-west, and it is best to contact the organisers to confirm the venue and session times before you attend.
