3. What type of shoes should I wear? 4. Where can I purchase dance shoes? 6. I have never danced before. Do I need to have experience to attend? 7.

How long will it take me to become a good dancer? 11. Do you offer private lessons? Absolutely not! Everybody is welcome, whether you come along on your own, with a bunch of friends, or a partner. In fact, our classes are taught through a rotation system which means that every couple of minutes everybody has to rotate and dance with a different partner. This gives you the opportunity to meets lots of great people! However, if you attend with a friend/partner, you are more than welcome to remain with your partner for the duration of the class. There are no specific clothing requirements for our classes except for comfort! As a general rule of thumb, it is best to wear clothing that allows you to move around with ease and makes you feel comfortable. Many people pop in to our classes straight after work and feel that their work attire is just fine. Others wear jeans or athletic clothing. It is really up to you! As you progress through the classes you will realise what works best for you. Once again, the most important factor is comfort. However, we do not recommend that you wear thongs or sandal type shoes that do not support your feet. A smooth sole will facilitate your spins and turns and a supportive back for the ladies is a must. At a Beginner level, you shouldn’t worry too much about your footwear but once you start getting into your spins and dips at an Intermediate and Advanced level, a proper dance shoe will make all of the difference! There are several dance stores in Adelaide where you can purchase proper dancing shoes, clothing and accessories:
At Latino Grooves, we offer both casual classes and 8 week courses. Our courses are all taught at the Latino Grooves Dance Studio and do require you to book ahead. Our bookings system allows us to achieve an even ratio of men to women, which is extremely important in a partner dance such as Salsa. Our classes at the Arkaba Hotel are casual which means that you don’t have to book ahead – simply turn up! Absolutely not! Our Beginner classes are designed to introduce you to Latin dance right from the very basics! We do not expect you to have any prior dance experience. We guarantee to have you dancing in no time at all, no matter whether you think you have two left feet. Just come along and give it a go! If you are unsure about what level is right for you, give us a call and we will do our best to allocate you in the right class. Our classes attract a lot of people from all walks of life and all different ages. You can expect to see people from the ages of 18 right up to 60 dancing up a storm! Yes, you can pay as you go, even at our 8 week courses. The cost of a casual class is $15 or $12 concession, per lesson. If you are attending an 8 week course, you have the option of paying for the 8 weeks upfront at $99 (if paid before course commences) or $110 (if paid on the first night of class). This upfront payment saves you $21 and $10 respectively as well as time and effort as you don’t need to bring your money each and every week. Everybody learns at a different rate but as the old saying goes, “practice makes perfect!” This is especially true in the case of dancing. The more effort you put into your classes, the more effortless your dancing will feel. Yes! If you prefer to learn in a one-on-one environment or need a little bit of extra help, enquire about private lessons! There is no better or faster way to improve your dancing skills. Your instructor will provide you with one-on-one attention which will allow you to learn at your own pace. |
