What will I learn?
The aim of this 10-week course for adults is to learn the basic Salsa steps following the music according to Salsa rhythm. Aim to develop Salsa style with the movement of shoulders and hips in simple Salsa steps and develop your own improvisation based on learned step sequences. Taking part in a dance class helps develop a positive learning attitude, with respect and tolerance for others!

What will I need to take part?
Come ready to join in and follow verbal instruction, observation and demonstration. You will need comfortable clothing - soft jazz or trainer type shoes are best.

Where can it lead to?
