No partner required. All ages welcome. No prior experience necessary to join for the first 3 weeks of a course. If you would like to join a beginners class after the first 3 weeks, you must contact us to assess your dance level prior to attending the class. If you have no prior experience, one/a few private lessons may be required to catch up the material. You can expect to take approximately 1 private lesson for each 2-3 group classes missed (but this will depend on the speed of your progress). All Beginner courses run for approximately 16 weeks, covering basic steps, basic movements, leading and following techniques for Cuban Salsa and beginners La Rueda.
*Christmas holiday break will be from approximately 17 Dec 2010 to 10th Jan 2011(to be confirmed).
Beginner to Intermediate

Slovenian Club
19 Irving Street, Phillip
[ SHOW MAP ]
Our Beginner to Intermediate class is designed for students who have completed a New Beginners course (16 weeks), or equivalent elsewhere. Students can join at any time. Course material builds on the Cuban Salsa basics taught in beginners, building confidence, style and repertoire, and beginner/intermediate La Rueda.
Intermediate to Advanced
CIVIC - Thursdays
8:45pm - 9:45pm
Gordon Arthur Hall @ St Johns
43 Constitution Ave, Reid (next to CIT) [ SHOW MAP ]
Our Intermediate to Advanced class is designed for those who have attended the Beginner to Intermediate class for approximately 8 months after having completed a New Beginners course(or have a total of at least a year of dance experience elsewhere). Students can join at any time. Course material includes complex Salsa sequences, flash dips, performance, advanced La Rueda moves and some student dance style choices such as Tango, Merengue etc.
CLASS STRUCTURE
Classes are held weekly, and are 1 hour in duration. Each class is followed by 15 minutes of free practice time where music is played continuously to help reinforce the moves learnt in class. We highly encourage students to take advantage of this time; it is a great opportunity to get a little private tuition, and we also offer La Rueda practice during this time.
EXPECTATIONS
Some people feel that they cannot learn to dance because they are "uncoordinated" or lack confidence. We believe everyone can learn to dance, and that dancing will increase self-confidence and esteem. While we do not promise that you will leave the first class dancing like Elvis Presley, if you are prepared to be patient, we promise you will see results. It typically takes a beginner 6-8 months to become competant. We have seen many students make significant progress with patience over the many years of our teaching experience.
A little practice each day also makes a world of difference - students who progress the fastest are those who practice the basic steps and listen to music several times a week. Dancing is a form of communication and learning the language does take time and effort.
Having said that though, we would like to assure you that our classes are fun and addictive. While we strive to continually raise the dancing standard in Canberra through our quality teaching, we also strive to keep our classes humourous and relaxed. After all, dancing is meant to be enjoyble! Dancing is a wonderful relief for stress and depression, and students often say that they cannot dance and think about the stresses of life at the same time.
