How many levels do you teach and which would be right for me?
We currently offer four levels of classes, which have all been designed to build progressively on your skills and understanding as you move through each one. Each person's salsa journey is unique to them and we really value people developing at a pace they feel comfortable with.
Having said that, we've laid out below a guideline as to how long each level would last for on average. It also includes how much previous experience you'd need as a guide to which level would be best suited to you. It is only a guide, however, and we really encourage you to come down and speak to us in person or get in touch if you'd like more clarification.
Running over two hours, our four levels of classes have been designed to allow for the possibility of students doing two classes. A student gaining confidence and experience at their level may opt to begin attending the level above in conjunction with their normal class as a kind of transition between the two. If that's your case, please mention it to your teacher who'll be in a good position to feedback to you. Please click here for our full class schedule.
