The course at Salsa Classes in Knutsford is designed to make students good social salsa dancers. The hour-long classes cost 7 per person, payable as you go. No partner is required to join the course as partners are rotated throughout the class, allowing students to adapt to different partners' styles and learn how to lead or follow effectively. Female assistants are present in the classes to help correct mistakes made by followers, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience.
The course progresses each week, with complexity increasing as time goes on. As a result, after the third class, new beginners are not permitted to join, as it would slow down the progress of the rest of the class. Repetition of previously learned material is emphasised to build muscle memory and ensure progress. By rehearsing what has been learned in previous classes, students can develop ease of movement and achieve beautiful, smooth footwork and combinations.
To monitor progress, a list of 35 combinations, called “The Curriculum,” has been compiled. Mastering the first nine combinations is considered a significant milestone for becoming a good social salsa dancer. Additionally, there are 27 beginner-level videos available on YouTube for extra practise at home, providing an opportunity to accelerate the learning process. For those interested in advancing further, there is an improver/intermediate class available, where the first nine combinations are taken for granted.
It is important to note that as individuals age, their ability to learn new movements diminishes, particularly evident in salsa footwork. As a result, the recommended age limit for complete beginners is 50 years old. While there are exceptional salsa dancers above this age, they typically learned to dance at a younger age when building muscle memory is more efficient. To assist individuals in choosing the appropriate dance style, salsa classes are recommended for those under 50.
However, if you are 50 or over and still interested in salsa, a slower-paced class is available to accommodate the longer journey from complete beginner to dancer.
For additional resources and support, Salsa Classes in Knutsford provides links to YouTube salsa courses, salsa music for practise with counting, salsa music for dancing, and videos of salsa socials. These resources can enhance the learning experience and provide inspiration for students as they progress in their salsa journey.
