New Student Check List
Tip 1: It's always good to drill the basics before you jump levels! Even if you have some experience, it's always best to get a solid foundation first!
WHERE SHOULD YOU START FROM?
If you have never danced Salsa or Bachata before, start with our 4-Week Absolute Beginner Salsa series. If you'd like to learn Bachata, then start with our 4-Week Beginner Bachata Series or explore other styles that we offer as long as they are beginner level or an All Level class. If you have taken lessons before, then use the second tip on how to determine your level.
DETERMINE YOUR LEVEL
Taken classes before and not sure where to start? Explore our syllabus videos (Under the LEVELS tab top horizontal menu) and try to match your level by how comfortable you feel with the moves. If you have never taken structured dance lessons, we strongly suggest starting with our 4-Week Absolute Beginner Series.
GET A DEDUCTIBLE CONSULTATION
If our syllabus videos are not helping you decide where to start from, schedule a deductible consultation with one of our expert instructors and they will help guide you in the right direction. If you decide to sign up for our classes after the consultation, we will deduct the price of the consultation from the first package you buy.
BUY THE PACKAGE THAT FITS YOUR SCHEDULE & GOALS
How much do you want to commit? If you want to do our 4-week series then our 4-class pack is the best. Once you are past the Absolute Beginner level, you can take the higher level series plus our ongoing practice classes. Step up into our 10-class pack or unlimited if you want to get more practice and become a better dancer!
FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS & CONSULT BEFORE YOU MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Each level is broken down into a 4-week series that covers the most fundamental moves that need to be studied in that level. Be sure to go through each level for best results! Before you move up, be sure to ask your instructors if you are ready. Once you pass the Absolute Beginner Level in Salsa you can also enjoy our ongoing practice classes in addition to the next level series.
TAKE OUR SERIES + OUR ONGOING CLASSES
For best results, we recommend that you combine our 4-week series with our ongoing practice classes for more patterns, moves, styling & drills.
WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR TO CLASS?
If you are new to dancing, you don't have to have dance shoes but be sure to avoid sneakers or other rubber bottom shoes. Wear shoes that will allow you to slide on wood floor so you don't hurt your knees when you try to do turns. If you have dance shoes, it's best to wear those.
