 WEEKLY CLASSES FAQ

---

Will I learn with so many people at the Bootcamp?
We have enough assistants to help out the instructors, we want you to learn. When you need help, flag one of us down and we come to your assistence! 

Also, a great focused attitude and willingness to learn is the key!

Which Classes should I take? Are they all the same?
All the beginning classes teach the same fundamental dance techniques. Each class covers different patterns, so you can take several classes each week and monthly Bootcamps, and learn new things. It does not matter which day of the week, or where the class location is - you'll always learn what you need to know! Many people take multiple classes each week to reinforce the learning process. Intermediate classes teach different material/patterns each class. So, for example, if you signed up for intermediate classes on Wednesdays, and then also signed up on Saturdays,
you would learn different material. Many people do this as well.

I've never danced, will I stand out? Will I look foolish?
No, you'll be surrounded by other people, like yourself, with some that have danced and others that have NEVER danced! We set the right expectation up front, support and encourage each other while learning! 

Who are the Bootcamps programmed for? 
This class caters to beginners and makes the learning process fun and simple. You will "get it" as will everyone else, and yes, this will change your life! Also, you must have a learners heart and a focused attitude and a will to learn (just like everything else).

It is also great for Intermediate students, you will dance with everyone from the opposite sex, its great price.

Do I need a Partner?
Absolutely not! We rotate partners in class, and everyone will have ample partners. If we have an imbalance, extra people just wait in between couples, and will get a partner in a couple of minutes (we switch partners quite a bit during class). We also do our best to have even classes but it can be a challenge at times with so many people signing up!

I'm bringing someone, do I have to rotate partners?
Rotating partners is not solely for social reasons. It helps the learning process. It's necessary to properly learn how to lead and follow. Everyone has a different style, and changing partners will greatly enhance the speed at which you learn. That being said, you can always remove yourself slightly from the circle and not change partners - no problem!

Is this a singles class? Are there many singles there?
No, this is not a "singles" class, but there are a lot of singles people taking salsa lessons. There are also many couples as well. It's a very casual and supportive atmosphere where everyone is having fun and learning how to dance. These classes have a mixture of people from all social walks of life! From Doctors, Lawyers, waiters, waitresses, models, maids, you name it, everyone will be there having a GREAT TIME! We are all equal when it comes to having FUN!

Can I bring a group of people?
Absolutely! If you're nervous about taking a class simply invite your friends. They'll have a great time and you'll be able to practice together. On certain classes, please pre-register due to the room capacity. We also have group rate discounts!

What if I sign up for a session of classes and have to miss a class?
No problem! You can swap classes at any time, and make up classes during the week, for any other class. Once you sign up for a session, and miss a class, you may attend a make up class by informing the teacher. If you cannot make any other class in that week, then you would lose a class (although we do go out of our way to make sure people are well taken care of). The pre-registration classes for the Bootcamp Salsa programs are prepaid and you can join in on the next Bootcamp if you miss it, and do not communicate, the money is non-refundable due to the costs that are  involved.

What should I wear to class? Any special shoes to wear?
Most people come in casual wear. Some dress up. Regardless, it's a dance class, so you should be comfortable! Look presentable and nice. You can never look too good, right? The only solid tip is to avoid wearing rubber shoes that stick to the dance floor. You will be spinning, and you need to wear shoes with a leather, suede sole or gym shoes.

Anything else I need to know about classes or how to prepare, what to bring?
Just bring yourself, bring water, your friends, and the desire to learn and have fun. You'll have a great time! Always prepare for dance classes by practicing good hygiene! What that means is, please shower before coming to class - and wear deodorant and antiperspirant. Ladies - perfume, men - a touch of cologne. These little thoughtful touches go a long way. Nobody forget to bring your breath mints!

What are three big tips for a Beginner dancer trying to learn the fastest way possible?
First, count out loud! Just like in class - take every opportunity to count and grasp the rhythm. Second, perhaps find a partner to practice with them (you should still rotate partners in class, but outside of class, you can practice with someone)

What are the types of Classes that you serve?

 

Last but not least- BRING A GREAT ATTITUDE! This is key!

Cya at the next bootcamp!!

Private Lessons FAQ

---

How much, and how long, are Private Lessons?
Privates are $85 and last for one hour. We now have Introductory (first timer) lessons, with any of our teachers, at a A reduced rate! Ask about our 2 for 1 promotions.

Where to Private Lessons Take Place?
Either in our current dance studios, or at your home (+$20), you can schedule a lesson anytime.

What is Salsa, why do I want to learn it?
Salsa is the ultimate partner dance! Great clubs, great people, and great music. It's exciting, inspiring, and creative.

What are the benefits of learning to dance?
There are almost too many to mention! The following lists some important reasons why you should give it a try.

Incredible Social Benefits: Meet tons of people! Far more than you could in any other medium. Ask anyone who has tried it. The social benefits, for both men and women, are second to none.It will aid you in life: in way's you can't possibly imagine before trying it. You become better at work, more focused,
more fulfilled, and far more self confident! You'll carry yourself in an entirely different way.

Get a workout: You'll get in great shape, increasing coordination and flexibility.

How many calories will I burn? 1500 calories in a 6 Hour Bootcamp! WOW!

Connection with other people, community: For many, Salsa Dancing will get you in touch with a fantastic, diverse and fun group of people, and it allows you to form a connection with another person (while dancing) that is rare in today's society. It's called partner dancing for a reason, and there is nothing quite like having a dance, with someone you've just met (or you've known for years), which allows you to share such happiness and joy. Being one with the music!

More fun than you've ever had: That's quite a lofty benefit, but for many, they find that Salsa Dancing is just the element that has been missing from their lives. No single type of dance is for everyone, but Salsa is a lot of fun.There are so many other reasons. Hopefully we've provided enough reasons to at least have you take the first step.

Do I really need private lessons?
I recommend everyone start with at least one group session! Yes, you heard that right, do not take a private to start dancing. Take a group class first, and start learning some of the basics and the fundamentals. That way, you'll get far more out of your private lessons. Don't substitute privates for group classes! They work best together rather than individually. You'll want to take your first private within your first 2 months of dancing (before bad habits have a chance to develop).
