WE ARE NOT OPEN BANK HOLIDAY MONDAYS
Classes start back on Monday 9th Jan 2012.
Monday Night is Class Night situated in one of Cheltenham's most stunning venues, a 15th century Tithe Barn (see directions video below).
There are 2 Salsa classes at three levels, with plenty of time to dance inbetween and after each class.
If it's your first time at Salsa you will be eased in with a very simple Aboslute Beginners Salsa Class to build your confidence. This class will teach you the basic steps and lasts about 10-15 minutes, all very simple.
Immediately after this class you will then be joined by the rest of the Beginners in the same room where you will learn how to dance the basic Salsa steps with a partner as well as learn one of the core Beginners turns. Each week you will learn a different move.
During the class you will be asked to change partners every few minutes; a quick hello, a quick practice of the moves, then a quick goodbye before you change partners again, all lots of fun and very social.
At SALSA SQUAD we keep it very light, fun and relaxed. We encourage people to be happy making mistakes, to be patient with themselves and most importantly patient with each other, to laugh out loud when it goes wrong and celebrate when it goes right.
