A BLEND OF BOTH POPULAR SALSA DANCE STYLES:
everybodysalsa.com currently teach a blend of both Cross-body and Cuban
style salsa from complete new starters to the advanced intermediate level.
When you come along for the first time, you will start off learning the Cross-body style. (Both the
WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT:
If you are coming along for your first salsa dance class, here is a short
outline of what to expect:
Upon arrival, you will be given an everybodysalsa.com dance safety guide and a brief introduction to our organisation. The guide is a list of common sense do's and don’ts, that when followed, help create a safe and friendly environment, in which your dancing skill and confidence can develop.
You will be asked to sign your agreement to abide by the guidance notes, before entering the club. The receptionist will also ask you for an e-mail address and mobile phone number, this is simply to enable us to keep you up to date with forthcoming salsa events, trips etc, as well as any last minute changes to planned classes/events, which occur from time to time. We take care to treat all information with the strictest confidence and only
use it to benefit our dancers.
After your class there will be a period of freestyle designed for you to have the opportunity to practice your newly earned skills before a more advanced class takes place. Feel free to carry on practicing in any space a little bit away from the new class, or use the time to have a relaxing drink, whilst observing what you may be doing a few weeks, or months ahead. We do not advise trying to join in this class just yet, as we all need to learn to walk before we can run J
NEVER DANCED B4?
UNSURE IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN DO?
Many of our more experienced dancers felt that they had TWO LEFT FEET
when coming along for the first time and many of us remember how hard it was to pluck up the courage to come along for the first time, uncertain of what
to expect, worried if it would be too difficult for us etc, so if your not sure
if you are capable of salsa dancing, here's the test: If you can walk, you can
learn dance!
First night continued: soon after you arrive, there will be an announcement for people joining the ‘Beginners’ and ‘Improvers’ classes to 'line up', which is an invitation for you and everyone else attending our first two classes to assemble on the dance floor, Men line up on one side and Women, line up on the other side, facing each other and the teachers, (noticeable by their everybodysalsa T Shirts), stand in the middle. The music will start and the teachers will demonstrate basic steps and turns in time with the music and invite everybody to join in, (Note, this is not the lesson, just a warm up, where you can experience moving your feet to salsa music, a bit like line dancing with salsa step's). After the music stops you will be separated into different levels of experience, so that everyone in your class will be at approximately the same ability. Once in your New Starters class your teachers will explain the timing of the salsa music and demonstrate each step/turn before inviting you to join in. The pace of the class will be slower than the 'line up', which makes it much easier to pick up and the class will be punctuated with music from time to time, to allow you to practice your new found skills at a faster pace and hopefully in time with the music too! There should be time
in your class to have a little one to one time with your teacher, however this time is limited by the number of dancers in the class, and when working with the leading and following techniques, you will have an opportunity to dance, not only with your teacher, but also with every other Lead/Partner in your class, which is a great way to break the ice and get to know the other people in your group. Your lesson will end as it started, with another 'line up', where you will be able to see for yourself, how much you have learned in the past hour.
And the evening does not end there, because following the Intermediate class everybody dances freestyle until
For more information please see the Classes page. ENTRY also entitles you to the everybodysalsa freestyle club, which continues straight after your line up and continues until
WHAT EXACTLY IS SALSA?
Salsa is nothing less than a ceaselessly evolving multicultural musical miracle! It is a fast and passionate partner dance involving six steps over every eight beats of rich, multi rhythmed Latin music with a fiery tempo.
The wonderfully rich and lively Latin music becomes practically irresistible and after a while you will find it difficult to keep your feet from moving along to the rhythm of modern stars like Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, or classic oldies such as Gloria Estefan and Santana. Either way the dancing becomes irresistible, the more you do it, the more you want to!
The Salsa music that we hear today probably originated in CubaNew York2MexicoNew York1940s.The term was applied, not only to Salsa music, but to any music emanating from Hispanic Countries, and so many distinctive styles of music and dance for example, The Cha Cha Cha; Cumbia; Danson; Gurache; Mambo; and Merengue etc were also referred to as Salsa until quite recently! cities where it really began to take off, aided by commercialization. The name Salsa began as a
SALSA ROOT’S The roots of salsa music lie in
The Spanish captors, who had wiped out the native, Indian population of Cuba, by a combination of over working and disease, banned the African’s native religion’s, even outlawing the playing of music, unless the slaves converted to Christianity. So slaves used the drum rhythms in Christian worship too. Slaves were forced to adopt Christianity upon arrival in
