You don't need a partner, as we rotate partner very regularly during the class.

While we totally understand that there may be personal reasons for which you would prefer to dance with your partner only, we do not accept this arrangement during the beginner course, for multiple reasons:

By experiece, it creates confusion during the rotation and affects the vibe of the class

Secondly, as social dancers, being able to lead and follow different partners of different size/level/style is part of the skill set that we teach

Finally, one of our objectives is to grow the community of Salsa dancers in Hong Kong

We make sure that the atmosphere is very safe, relaxed, and beginner friendly, so that everybody is at ease. You might want to contact us for more details and/or consider for private classes.

The beginner course is the natural onboarding process to be admitted in the school. For us, it is a way to discover our students, to see which ones match our expectations in terms of learning attitude and motivation.
Symmetrically, it allows the students to discover salsa, the school, our teaching philosphy, without a long term commitment.

That being said, if you have significant experience in Salsa, just contact us and our pedagogical team will assess what classes would benefit you the most.
