Flexible Classes

You sign up for a course, not for a specific weekday. This means you’re free to attend another class of the same level if another day suits you better or if you’re unable to attend your regular class. You can also make up a missed lesson during the same course.

If you missed the first (trial) lesson, you are still welcome to join the course. You can easily catch up by attending an extra class during the second week.

Partner Rotation

During our classes, we regularly rotate partners to help everyone learn and improve. Partner rotation is encouraged but never mandatory—if you prefer to stay with your own partner, simply let us know.

Other Types of Classes:

– Open Training:

The open training is a class which is based on individual training drills (no leading & following) to develop yourself into a ‘complete’ dancer. Before you dance with partner you have to be dancing yourself!
During the class you will learn the Rhythmical body structure of Salsa, footwork, coordination and style, awareness and balance. You will learn the Salsa basics by the Rhythm method. How to develop your center awareness, how to use your energy against the dance floor, how to let your movement go through your center to create the ability of controlling your hips and legs.
The Open Training is also based on the original names of the footwork patterns of Eddie Torres (Patterns Method). The Eddie Torres technique is made up of the most fundamental partnerwork steps and footwork steps (shines). Shines are your best and fastest way to fully understand the Salsa rhythm and timing. The beginning of wisdom is calling things/shines by their right names. The Open Training will give you all the basics you need to center your body so you can move, then create a rhythm in your body so you can dance and connect with your partner.

Assessing one’s level:

We want to make sure you learn on the right level, so you don’t have bad experiences in your future dancing. Please join the Beginner’s trial lesson if this applies to you:

  • I have dance experience but not with any style of salsa
  • I have dance experience with salsa but less than 2 years
  • I’ve had more than 1 year of dance experience with salsa but that was a year or more ago
  • I’ve had more than 1 year of dance experience with salsa without a break but I have never taken lessons at Salsability.

Don’t worry about paying too much. We just want you to have the best experience. Once we’ve seen that you belong in a higher class we will deduct what you’ve already paid from the class fee of the higher level!
