Wow. Just returned from the show that Street Envy put on and I’m absolutely blown away. It’s evident that there is A LOT of work that goes into not just the choreography and music choices, but the setting up of the venue and all the extra little bits too. People of all ages loving life, so special to watch. The musical theatre production of Grease was absolutely superb. Simon puts his life and soul into his work and it’s evident that he loves passing his excellent dancing skills on to adults and children alike. I hope my children continue dancing for life. Thanks so much for helping them shine— Affordable Lawn LTD

We recently worked with Simon from Street Envy to create 11 music videos for a project we’re working on.
Simon worked with 2 young dancers to create amazing choreographies for our songs. The effort, skill and quality were far beyond what we had hoped for. What really struck us was the relationship he had with the young people. There was a deep mutual respect and Simon was excellent at getting the absolute most out of the dancers, while keeping their phys— Tom Veck

Start with a beginner class where an instructor teaches the basic steps before building them into routines. No partner or prior experience is needed, and staff can point you to the right session.
A rhythmic, approachable dance such as the waltz or a social foxtrot is a common first choice. Your teacher can recommend the best starting dance for you.
Salsa's basic step is easy to learn, with the timing and turns sharpening over a few sessions. Regular practice is the key to it feeling smooth.
Yes, non-dancers learn salsa all the time and classes start from the basics. No experience is required to join.
Common steps include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. These recur throughout many line dances.
A short, repetitive routine with only a few steps is the friendliest place to begin. An instructor can suggest a suitable beginner dance.
