Advice for Newcomers

 

Two left feet?

You’ll soon learn that you have one of each.

 

No partner?

No worries! Many people come on their own. Even if you bring a partner we encourage you to dance with others as it provides a better learning experience.

 

Shy?

Don’t be - we’re a friendly bunch.

 

Clothing?

‘Smart-casual’ is what most people wear. Loose, cool and comfortable is what we suggest.

Jeans and t-shirt are fine.

 

Shoes?

Avoid those with grip soles i.e. trainers. Smooth soles are preferable.  Flip-flops, mules or other loose shoes are a  no-no! If you want to buy shoes designed for dancing see the Salsa Links page.

 

How long does it take to learn?

See Advice for Beginners for more information.
