Our Dances & Levels

Our Levels

Salsa / Bachata Level 1: Absolute Beginner (12-16 Classes)

You will learn the fundamental techniques & theory of this Latin dance. You will also learn the dance Merengue to teach how to transfer your weight and develop the first coordinated steps. After this course you will be able to dance short combinations and basic turns, which you can literally use all over the world! After this class you can continue with Salsa Level 1+: Beginners+.

Salsa / Bachata Level 1+: Beginner+ (Ongoing level = no starting or end date)

From Beginner+ onwards, there are no more start and end dates, and there is no longer a course format. It is an ongoing level with drop-in classes several days a week and you can therefore join and participate at any time.

This Salsa class is for people with already some experience in Salsa dance and/or have finished our Salsa Level 1: Absolute Beginner. Please keep in mind that a good foundation of basic techniques is VERY IMPORTANT for the rest of your dancing years to come. To enter Salsa Level 1+ you need to have followed 12-16 classes at Salsa Connexion at Salsa Level 1.

Why Beginner+ or Level 1+?

Within Salsa Connexion we see that students need around 30+ classes for a good foundation in order to join Salsa Level 2 in a way that you are comfortable in joining the existing group, where a strong basic foundation is needed to keep up. With completing Salsa 1 and 1+ you will have enough knowledge and experience to join the Salsa Level 2 group.

From Improver & higher levels onwards, there are also no more start and end dates (as this is from the beginner+ level), and there is no longer a course format. It is an ongoing level with drop-in classes several days a week and you can therefore join and participate at any time. Staying in level 2, 3, or for usually goes up to 1 year per level.
