Learning Salsa
We hope you will enjoy learning to dance with us. To help you we’ve put together the following useful information:
Footwear
Wear flat or low healed, comfortable shoes and bear the following in mind.
Avoid trainers or shoes which grip the ground too much - they make it hard for you to move. Avoid backless sandals or flip flops as they tend to fall off as you dance. Avoid very high or narrow heels (which make balance harder and could hurt your partner if you tread on their toe!)
As you progress, if you find you are dancing regularly, buying a pair of dance shoes or dance trainers is well worth it. You can buy shoes quite cheaply and they will look after your feet and make it much easier to dance. Speak to us about this, as we have negotiated a discount with dance shoe shops in both Edinburgh and Glasgow!

Salsa Music
There is a world of salsa music to listen to, bands to see and salsa clubs to dance in out there. It is our pleasure to help to introduce you to this new culture. If you want a list of suggested albums to buy to dance to, please do contact us.
Salsa as Exercise
Salsa dancing not only feels good, but it also improves your physical strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. You can get a real high from dancing, and in the stressful world we live in this natural high is a GOOD THING. Salsa also provides good aerobic exercise with less strain on the joints than higher impact activities - e.g. jogging or aerobics.
