Your purchase covers the full 5 sessions, plus an informal Cuban Salsa Social at a different venue.
Suitable for dancers with 1 - 2 months experience in Cuban Salsa and beyond
This is not a complete beginners course. You will need to know basic Salsa rhythm, footwork and partner-holds. Some familiarity in the following foundational Cuban moves: Dile Que No, Enchufla, Sácala/Exhibela, Sombrero and Vacílala. You don't need to be an expert in these, but they shouldn't be totally new to you. You can see these moves here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msTvxf1cxuc
We have designed this as a follow on from our current Cuban Salsa Beginners Course. So you should be fine at this level, but check in with yourself as it progresses and you are eligible for a full refund 48-hours before the Improvers Course starts.
For people coming from experience elsewhere you are very welcome. If you think you might be too advanced for this course we are always looking for volunteer Guardian Dancers to join and help out.

Queer Salsa
LGBTQIA+ individuals often face exclusion and oppression in traditional partner dance communities. We seek to provide a safe and affirming environment where everyone can enjoy Afro-Latin partner dancing, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our mission is to foster connection, celebrate diversity, and empower the LGBTQ+ and Latinx communities. We achieve this by creating safe spaces for queer people to learn and dance, developing an inclusive pedagogy to train dancers and teachers, and hosting events that centre queer Latin American culture and voices
