About this course
The course introduces salsa rhythm and core movements including the side step, right and left turns, and cross body lead. These are developed through combinations alongside footwork, posture, warm-ups and solo “shines”. Teaching includes partner work, practice without a partner and rotating partners, with feedback during the sessions. Learners are introduced to leader and follower roles, including the signals and timing used to guide or respond to movement. The course also provides an introduction to the salsa community and social dancing.
