Salsa/Tango Classes

Salsa and Tango are two extremely popular dances in the social dance scene. This class series allows you to purely focus on these passionate and emotional Latin dances.

Salsa

There are as many Salsa dance styles as there are people dancing! This is because Salsa is a "free-style" or "street dance". It is free and spontaneous with no set routine to follow or reference standard. Once upon a time, all you needed were a few basic moves and the rest was following the music with your heart! Since then, Salsa has absorbed many other dance forms to become a more sophisticated dance
Although it still remains free-style, many distinctive Salsa styles have developed in different parts of the world. Each of these styles has distinctive foot work and turn patterns. Some of the main styles are:
LA style
New York style
Cuban Style
We don't believe that there is such a thing as an "authentic" style of Salsa. People from the streets of Colombia dance differently from those in the clubs of Havana, Cuba. Cubans who live in Miami dance differently to those from Cuba. People from all around the world make their own interpretation of Salsa music and create many styles of their own. There is a huge amount of creativity in the evolution that has made Salsa the diverse and rich dance form we know today.
We teach LA style Salsa in our classes. All basic moves are based on the cross body lead and rely on a strong foundation of basic dance principles. Learning LA style Salsa will therefore provide you with a strong grounding in the basic fundamentals of dance, allowing you to diversify into other styles later on (such as Cuban, Miami or New York styles).

Tango

Tango is a social dance originating in Buenos Aires Argentina. Today there are many dance styles, including Argentinean Tango, Uruguayan Tango, Finnish Tango, Vintage Tango and of course Ballroom Tango.

Ballroom Tango divided in recent decades into International style and American style. The International style Tango evolved primarily as a highly competitive dance, whereas the American style developed as an un-judged social dance, which leads to some distinctions in basic style and technique. Ballroom Tango uses different music and styling from Argentinean Tango, with more staccato actions and the characteristic head snaps. We teach American style Tango in our classes.

We offer Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced classes.
Currently the beginner class runs Thu - 6:45pm, intermediate class Thu - 7:30pm, and no advanced class.
