Salsa is a very popular dance and originates from Cuba (Cuban Salsa). Over the years, however, different styles have emerged, including Salsa LA, New York style, Antillean style and Puerto-Rican style. In our region, the Cuban Salsa and Salsa LA are the most popular. You will therefore constantly encounter them at the various Salsa parties at home and abroad.
We teach Salsa LA. Some typical features of this style are ‘dancing on a line’ and the so-called ‘lady styling’. Furthermore, the tempo of the music is rather slower compared to the Cuban Salsa. Ideal for learning it.
We are also convinced that everyone can learn to dance Salsa, both young and old(er). Of course everyone at his or her pace. Our lessons are therefore structured in different levels, so that everyone gets the right ‘learning material’ when he or she is ready.
We also always give our dance lessons in bite-sized, digestible ‘building blocks’, and attach great importance to learning the right techniques that you must use as a man to properly lead ‘the figure’ and that you must observe as a lady to become a good follower. With us, therefore, no mere memorization of figures, but really learning to dance!
The Salsa lessons take place in Salle d’Eau (Grote Markt 28, 2500 Lier) and this always on Wednesday and Thursday evening.
Wednesday – 19.00: Salsa starters
Wednesday – 20.00: Salsa improvers
Wednesday – 21.00: Salsa intermediates
Thursday – 20.00: Salsa advanced
If you have not yet completed any or only a few Salsa lessons, it is best to join the ‘Salsa starters’. After all, in this series of lessons we will teach you the complete basis of Salsa. We start from scratch.
On the other hand, if you have already taken at least 10 Salsa lessons (with us or elsewhere), then ‘Salsa improvers‘ is the next logical next step. In this series of lessons we continue with the basics and we further expand your ‘Salsa arsenal’. It is the ideal link between ‘starters’ and ‘intermediates’.
Finally, if you have already taken at least 30 Salsa lessons (with us or elsewhere), then you are probably ready for ‘Salsa intermediate’ and you can even continue to grow to ‘advanced’. In these series of lessons we will further combine all our techniques and ‘building blocks’ into more complex figures.
It is not mandatory to register with a fix dance partner, so don’t let that stop you if you don’t have one (yet). We will then try to find a partner for you.
By the way, we recommend that you regularly switch partners during our classes (although it is not mandatory). In this way you learn much better and faster how to lead and how to follow.
