Salsa classes in Amsterdam

Salsa is fast and playful, with lots of turns. We teach Salsa LA On1, also called cross body style. You dance with a partner, and partners rotate during class, so you can come on your own.

A Salsa or Bachata try-out lasts 55 minutes (Reggaeton 60) and can start a little earlier than the course. The exact time is shown with each try-out.

S1

Salsa 1 · Beginners

This is you if you've never danced Salsa, or you had classes before and forgot most of it.

You learn the basic step, the right turn and the cross body lead.

S2

Salsa 2 · Improvers

This is you if you can do a cross body lead without thinking.

You learn inside and outside turns, the copa and the open break.

S3

Salsa 3 · Intermediate

This is you if you dance at socials and want more.

Technique, styling and musicality: double spins, 360 turns, copa variations and hammerlocks.

What you don't need

Three things people worry about before a first class.

No partner

Everyone dances with everyone. Partners rotate during class, so you can come on your own.

No experience

Salsa 1 and Bachata 1 start from the very first step. Nobody expects you to know it already.

No dance shoes

Wear something you can move in, with smooth-soled shoes. Coming from work? Bring a fresh shirt.
