It would be nice if you brought your own dance partner to class, thus maintaining an equal ratio of ladies: gentlemen. However, this is not compulsory. Partners in class are always rotated so as to help you to get used to different styles of leading/following, which in turn helps when one dances socially. |

Having never danced before is not a deterrent when you join our studio. We teach the basics in the first level, taking care that every student in the class has understood the steps. So whether you are a professional dancer or just starting to dance, every instructor makes sure that you will be comfortable dancing and will be able to dance socially at the end of the first level course.
As everything is taught from scratch with the assumption that you are a novice on the dance floor, you needn’t worry; you will be able to pick up the steps. We also have a system of repeating classes (please refer to the sections below entitled Batch Cycles & Higher Levels, Need more practice ? & Missed a class ?). |

As mentioned above, in the Ballroom category there are 3 slow dances viz. Rumba, Waltz & Foxtrot; 1 medium paced-one viz. Cha Cha Cha & 2 fast ones viz. Jive & Samba.
In the Club Dance category, we teach Cuban Salsa & Merengue; both of which are on the faster side although Merengue is more medium-paced than Cuban Salsa.
As such, we always recommend that students who have never danced before join the ballroom dance class as the techniques and different speeds of the dances taught will enable you to pick up steps easily. |

At the end of the Level 1 Course: |
|
| |
At the end of the Salsa or Ballroom Level 1 course, you will have learnt the following for the particular dances you will be taught: |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
- How to dance socially.
- Footwork including Weight Transfer & Technique necessary to execute steps well.
- How to dance with any partner i.e. to lead (for a man) and to follow (for a lady).
- How to identify beats and different genres of music; contrary to what some people believe, all dances have their own music. So dancing a Cha Cha to the Waltz or the Fox Trot to the Samba is a definite faux pas.
- Social dancing etiquette.

In short whether you are a professional dancer or just starting to dance, our courses are designed to give you the best of everything! |
