Charity night information

Charity evening is cancelled...

The Charity charity event we were going to hold on Saturday, 18th October 2008 has been cancelled due to some performers cancelling at the last minute.

If you bought tickets for this event could you please return them to the place you bought them for a refund. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Info

Q: Do I need to bring a partner?
A: A partner is not necessary... During the partner session we swap partners every few minutes so everyone gets to dance with everyone else! Also, the first half of the beginners class is used to teach the basic steps: this is done solo, so the need for a partner is less in the beginners classes than the more advanced classes.

Q:What should I wear?Wear dance shoes if you have them. 
A: Anything in which you are comfortable doing light exercise... beginners classes are not too energetic, so no need for a track-suit! We recommend you wear shoes with soles that are not too soft so you can turn easily. Of course, if you already have a pair or dance shoes you can always wear those! (If you would like to try some dance shoes take a look at Chameleon on our links page).

Q: Do I need to book?
A: There is no need to book in advance - all our classes are designed to be 'drop in', which means that as long as you are at the appropriate level you can follow each class without attending in previous weeks. So if you have other commitments you can attend weekly, fortnightly or whenever it suits you.

Q: How much does it cost?
We charge £5.00 per lesson - We don't charge more if you decide to take both the beginners and improvers classes. The admisson for students and children under 16 is £3.00.

Q: Is there an age limit?
Salsa is for all ages, and people of all ages attend our classes - as long as you have no medical condition which prevents you from dancing you are welcome to attend. We do ask that anyone 16 and under is accompanied by an adult over 18 - the adult does not have to take part and we have seating and free refreshments if they would like to watch.

Lesson Structure

Beginners Lessons (level 1)Couple dancing salsa at Great Doddington
The beginners classes are structured so that you can drop in any week even if you've not danced before - we teach each of the steps from scratch every week. The class at beginners level is structured as follows:

In the first part we teach you the basic salsa steps, breaking each step down so you undertstand how to dance them. This is done solo, i.e. we do not use partners for this part of the class.

In the second part we teach you to dance those steps with a partner and add variations on the main move.
Each week we teach one of the two main salsa moves: Cross body and right turn. We then teach a further move(s) based on the main move. If you attend for two weeks in  a row you will have learnt three main moves. After a few more beginners lessons you should begin to feel comfortable with these moves and their variations. Once you can dance the moves in beginners lessons at the speed of salsa music you can consider moving to the improvers class.

Improvers (Level 2)
Those of you who are comfortable with the beginners moves can join the Level 2 class. In this session we do not teach the basic footwork (you will already know it!) , but spend the time learning a routine, with partners, based on the moves you learnt in the beginners class. As the Level 2 class follows the beginners class you are welcome to try the Level 2 class once you have attended around 4 to 6 beginner lessons - also if you have have had a few lessons in other styles of salsa (e.g. cuban) you can come up to speed in the beginners class and then try the next level - there is no extra charge for doing both the beginners and the Level 2 class on the same evening.

Common to all lessons
We start each class with a warm up (doing solo steps/shines) and end each class with a warm down - we teach at least one of the solo steps each week.

Contact us if you require more details.
