Frequently Asked Questions
Basic Questions
Q: Do I need to have a partner to take lessons?
No! Just come out and learn!
Q: What should I wear to class?
Whatever you feel comfortable dancing in.
Q: Do I need special shoes?
No, it is not necessary to wear special shoes. However, rubber soled shoes are not recommended because you will stick to the floor. For ladies, high-heels are a personal choice. Wear what you will be comfortable moving around in.
Q: How fast will I learn?
That all depends on the person. Some will learn quicker than others. The most important thing to remember is that learning salsa is a JOURNEY, not a destination. Even a "salsa expert" is still growing and learning new things.
Q: When will I be good enough to go out dancing?
As soon as you learn your first step! Don't be intimidated by people who APPEAR to be great dancers. Some of the best looking dancers really only know a few moves. They just do them well and have fun with it! The sooner you take what you've learned in class to the DANCE FLOOR, the quicker things will begin to make sense for you. That's when you'll start to figure out your own strengths and begin to create your own style! So, get out there, already!
