Salsa Classes

We have a very friendly and vibrant Salsa scene on the South Coast.

For people who have never danced before, we have Absolute Beginners classes, where we assume you know nothing!

Each night we have 3 or 4 classes running concurrently so that you can progress at your own speed. Our wonderful teachers give you expert tuition with heaps of fun.

After the classes finish at 9.30pm, the music continues, the lights go down and you start dancing with everyone else until 11pm. This is the social element of Salsa, as it is more than just a dance class and then go home!

Partners are very welcome, but not obligatory. You can just turn up on your own or with friends and we'll rotate the partners for you.

So even if you have 2, or more, left feet, join us on the dance floor and we will guide you through every step along the way.
