We take your safety and that of our team and our venues' staff very seriously and to that end we have put the following measures in place: 1. Hand sanitisers will be available and we would encourage everyone to make good use of them throughout the class and during the course of the evening at our events. 2. You may wear a protective face covering at our classes and events if you prefer. Masks are not required if you are Dining ( in other words , if you're seated), Dancing or Drinking. *You will need to wear a mask to enter and exit the building however and when heading to the toilet in line with government guidelines. 3. If you do not feel comfortable dancing with other people yet we have stickers that you can attach to your clothing which gently alerts other dancers to the fact that you are not ready to mingle and that you wish to only dance with your partner. These stickers are available from our teachers and DJs. You may also opt to only dance with your partner in our classes for a determined period of time to allow for rest of the population to be fully vaccinated . Just ask your teacher for a sticker and you may dance outside the rueda formation in class. 4. We have altered our class timetables slightly to allow for sufficient time to ventilate the rooms in between classes. To this end we would ask our students to wait in the main bar areas of our venues and wait to be called into the class room by our respective teachers instead of piling into a room whilst a class is still in progress. 5. We are encouraging everyone to opt for contactless forms of payment as much as possible which means either paying for classes and events online or via our card readers on the night. We still accept cash payents as well as gift vouchers. 6. If you have tested positive in the past 14 days, have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive or if you have any symptoms such as a high temperature, cough or are generally unwell pls do NOT attend. 7. Test & Protect will also be implemented by the venue and ourselves. We trust that these measures will serve to greatly minimise the risk of transmission and to make everyone feel safe and relaxed so as to get the most enjoyment from our activities.

Salsa, like the sauce, is a fusion. It takes many different styles of dance (like son, cha cha cha and mambo) and brings them together to create a fast-paced, fun party dance. The footwork is fast, but quite simple. This frees the dancers to concentrate on the endless variety of turns and moves. Keep it simple and expressive or complex and challenging – it’s up to you!

Salsa is a workout and a social event. Get fit and make some new friends. We'll give you all the skills you need to enjoy a night of dancing whether you're in Glasgow City Centre or Havana. Did you know that 60 mins of salsa dancing can burn up to 400 calories? Salsa dancing will also tone and shape your figure. In Latin America, people look forward to salsa dancing as a time to party and a way to let your hair down and de-stress!

Over the course you will discover the essance and essential movements of cuban salsa. We'll teach you how to get your feet moving and how to turn and move. We take you right from the basics through to turns that will make you feel like a pro. As well as salsa we'll also introduce you to Merengue which is another dance style that is often danced at salsa social events throuought the world.

Classes are 50 minutes long and the standard course is once a week for 7 weeks. If you are doing our beginners cuban salsa course you are welcome to attend any of the other beginners cuban salsa as you are able for the duration of your course. As we normally have 2-3 beginners’ classes running at any one time this gives you lots of options for extra practise. For higher levels you can register for an additional class for half price. (i.e. £20 for a second block or £4 for a second class)

Yes! We'll have you dancing in your first class and we have lots of regular social nights so we can arrange a class outing to put your skills to the test!

No problem, we know it’s often difficult to fit everything in. We always do a recap of the previous week, so you won’t be left behind. You are also welcome to make up your lost week at one of our other classes within the 7 week block if there is a suitable class available. So if you miss a week you could do two the next week. (Make-up classes must be taken before the end of your 7 week course. Missed weeks cannot be carried forward.)

This is not a problem as we always recap what we did at the first class in week 2 of the course.

We require the course to be paid in full at the start of the first week. This helps us minimise the admin time and maximise the dancing time. NB: Level 3 and above do have a drop in option for £8 per class.

Definitely not! Lots of people come on their own. We change partners during the class so you will meet and dance with lots of different people.

Whatever you are comfortable in. Wear something you are able to move around freely in. Also remember that salsa is a bit of a work out so class can get quite warm even in winter so we advise bringing layers that you can take on or off.

To start with anything that is comfy! As you progress and want to go out to our social events we advise wearing whatever you would wear to these events. For many of our female clients that means wearing heels.

Please bear in mind that our classes are for adults only and they involve physical exercise. Aside from that we attract people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. Students, retired people, newly weds - it's a great place to mix with a new crowd. Some of our clients are well into their 70s and are still able to out dance the younger crowd.

Yes, lots. Most of our classes are fairly balanced with about 40% of our clients being men. If we are short of leaders we have lots of Academia helpers on hand to step in.

Salsa will help improve your fitness, the classes can be a bit of a workout, its comparable to jogging. If you find things are getting a bit much then just take a break, have some water and a seat. If you have underlying medical conditions then we recommend you speak to your doctor before starting.

We've helped many happy couples surprise their friends and family with a spectacular first dance. Please get in touch with us to learn more about out wedding choreography service.
