This course is suitable for those who have laid a good foundation in salsa, ie. has good control of the salsa rhythm and timing, and can dance basic salsa figures from 'Salsa beginner' in a good way. We recommend that you as a minimum have good control of these characters when starting at this level: dile que no, dile que si, guapea, enchufla, enchufla doble. We continue with these modules in this course.

You dance at 'Intermediate level 1' for several rounds until you have learned all the figures that belong to this level and are ready to move on to 'Intermediate level 2'. 

Rueda de Casino is the Cuban ring dance variant of salsa. Some of the figures will be already known from regular salsa, and which are also used in rueda. Other figures are most commonly used in rueda and are taught in this course. You must have taken at least a basic course in salsa to start with rueda.To ensure good learning of Cuban characters and work on developing as a good leader/follower, it may be a good idea to attend a salsa course in parallel to also practice the dance in pairs. 

This course builds on Salsa Improver 1. The instructor does not repeat the repertoire from the previous course, but assumes that you as a participant are confident in the moves from 'Improver 1', and can use these on the social dance floor. In 'improver 2' you continue with figures from the modules that have not been covered in 'improver 1', and which require a slightly higher level. You dance at an advanced level for several rounds until you have learned all the figures that belong to this level and are ready to move on to the next level, which is intermediate. 

Open space for self-training

Welcome to SalsaNor's basic course in Cuban salsa. In the course, experienced and patient instructors go through various basic steps and simple figures at a basic level. The course is also suitable for those who already dance some salsa or have taken a basic course in salsa before.

During the course, we become confident in the salsa rhythm, in the different basic steps and learn the most central salsa variations in pairs. In addition to learning new characters, we are constantly concerned that everyone should feel that they have mastered the dance, and focus on how we in the dance should lead the partner clearly, and how the partner should be led.After this course, you can move on to the advanced level if the content of this course feels easy and you have mastered it well enough to use it on the social dance floor. We often recommend taking the basic course several times, and not moving on to the next level until you feel confident with all the syllabus from the basic course. The very best dancers are those who lay a solid foundation at the start!After the basic course, you are also ready to start Rueda de Casino; Cuban salsa as a ring dance. 

Rueda Intermediate 2 is the continuation of Rueda Intermediate 1, and is suitable for those who have gained a good grasp of all vocations and figures at Intermediate 1. We think it is important to emphasize that you are not necessarily trained at a level after a course round. It is common to dance at an advanced level for a while before you are ready to be able to follow a rueda course at the advanced level. It is important for your enjoyment of dancing that you master the callings of a level before moving on up to the next level. It is also in this way that we become good rueda dancers! :) Welcome to the course and to experience lots of dancing joy!  

This course is for those who have danced Cuban salsa (casino) for a while, and who know and master most of the figures from the intermediate modules on our dance professional website rueda.casino.

Throughout the course, we start with some of the figures in the modules for salsa advanced level, but time will also be spent on how to improvise in the casino, correct guidance and following, some styling and dancing in different types of tempos.  

A super useful and fun dance class from intermediate to advanced level. Different salsa steps with styling, coordination and several Cuban movements that we use a lot in salsa dancing, both when dancing in pairs and solo. A wonderful and energetic dance class full of dancing joy.Also possible as a drop-in hour NOK 250 per time (it pays to take the whole course) 

Open room for practice

  

Learn the kizomba/semba as it is danced socially by Angolans, where the dance comes from. The music is a natural part of the dance, so we use the music and not counting to know what to dance. Learn from the only one of the teachers in Oslo who has learned the dance in Angola.

NOTE! This course lasts for 5 weeks starting May 5th.
