Frequently Asked QuestionsHow long does it take to learn salsa dancing/when will I get good?It all depends on you and how much time, energy, and money you are prepared to put into your Salsa dancing. How many classes do you take per week? Do you practice every day, even if it is only five minutes? How many Salsa Cd’s do you have in your collection? Do you take any private lessons? Remember some of us will learn faster than others.
Do I need to bring a partner?Definitely not, we always get the best even ratio of male- female students as we can and rotate partners during the class, so you can and will benefit from dancing with different people.
What should I wear for the classes? We will recommend you to wear something you feel comfortable in, from gym gear to casual attire. As for shoes, something that feels secure on your feet and will keep your heel and ankle in place is the best option. Sneakers will do for the first class but may cause difficulty with gripping when you begin turns and spins. Jandals or flip flops are not recommended. Come to the studio and we will help you with what is best for you.
Can I come and watch a class? Yes, you can come and watch for the first 5-10min of the class only, no one likes to be watched while learning and we respect the privacy of our students. Please contact us before you come.
How big are the classes? We do have a limit of 24 students per class. This way we can give our students as much time and attention as possible.
What is the age group in the classes? We have students from 18 to 50.
How many weeks in a course? The duration of the course is usually 8 weeks.
How long does each class go for? Each Salsa class runs for approximately 55 minutes, with a 5min time at the end of each class for enquiries/questions.
I can’t make it to 1-2 classes what should I do? You can catch up with a private lesson or by asking another student what was covered during the time you were absent, this is very important as otherwise you may fall behind.
Can I pay as I go (casually)? No, all the courses need to be paid in advance. This way we can guarantee there will be people for the duration of the course, by doing this we can monitor student’s progress and make sure everyone is learning at the same pace. Also you will get to know your class mates a lot better.
I have learnt salsa somewhere else what level should I join? Because there is so many different Salsa styles (Cuban, linear, on 1, on 2, and so on) as well as different teaching styles and methods, we recommend you attend a beginner’s Salsa class or a 30min private class to assess your level.
Can I video tape the classes? No, we don’t allow students to video tape the class or the teachers, although you can video yourself doing the move or step after the class.
Do I need to bring something, other than myself? No, although we do recommend bringing a bottle of water and a towel on summer nights.
Is there any salsa clubs in Dunedin? Yes, Alibi bar holds Salsa nights on Thursdays from 8:30pm and Liberty Lounge on Friday nights from 9pm please check our timetable to confirm that is on.
Where should I go to dance salsa? There are several places to go Salsa dancing in NZ and almost all the major cities in the world have amazing Salsa clubs. These days, you can dance Salsa anywhere on the planet!
What if I don’t have a partner to practice with?
How do I join the classes? Please contact us by phone, email us or join Salsa Moves NZ group on Facebook and we will let you know times, levels, prices and location.
