Salsa
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 advanced1 level if the content of this course feels simple and you master it well enough to use it on the social dance floor. We often recommend repeating the basic course until you feel confident in the syllabus from the basic course. The very best dancers are the ones who lay a solid foundation in the beginning!
After the basic course, you are also ready to start Rueda de Casino; Cuban salsa as a ring dance.
The course is slightly cheaper when registering in pairs. Then you choose pair registration, first register one of them, press 'Add new participant' at the bottom instead of 'Confirm registration', and fill in for partner as well before finally choosing 'Confirm registration' and come to payment.
Course location: STUDIO ORIENT, Arbeidergata 4, Sentrum
Duration: 8 weeks Start: 17 August. Last day of the course 12 October.
