Class dates for this course are July 22, 29 &  August 5, 12, 19 & 26.

This course is for newcomers to Cuban salsa, whether you have previous salsa experience or not. You will learn the basic steps and moves that typify this classic salsa style and incorporate them into turn patterns in partner dance and Rueda.

This fun, original style of Salsa from Cuba incorporates basic, flowing steps danced in a circular motion. The steps are simple to begin with, incorporating more complex turns and arm movements as your style and confidence develops.

At beginner level, there are two courses available, both of which are for complete beginners. The courses cover the basic steps, and techniques, but each one covers different variations. If you want to feel completely comfortable with the basics before moving to a more advanced level, we advise completing both beginner courses.

This is a progressive course so you can only join in week 1 or 2 if you want to come to a one-off class to try it out.

What to wear: comfortable, casual clothes and shoes. Shoes wth a smooth sole are recommended.

What to bring: a bottle of water, a hand towel and deodorant.

Where to park: There is parking in the streets around the studio and a paid car lot on the corners of Gundry St and Karangahape Road. DO NOT park in the APP workshop across the road from the studio as you will be towed.
