No need to bring a partner. We partner people up and rotate partners (for those that want to, most do), you get to meet everyone!
Casual wear (jeans, t-shirts etc) are the norm. We recommend you wear anything comfortable on your feet with a smooth sole.
Salsa dancers come in all ages (18+ for our classes), shapes and sizes, so there is no need to worry about your age, fitness level or body type. Salsa is a gentle, fun form of exercise that can help you get in shape without feeling like you’re working out. So if you’re looking for a way to get moving and have fun, salsa dancing is a great option!

Don’t worry if you think you have two left feet. At Salsa Buena, we believe that anyone can learn to dance, and we make it our mission to make the learning process fun and enjoyable. We will take the pressure off of you so that you can focus on having fun and learning at your own pace. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the basics!

How quickly you learn salsa will depend on a number of factors, including your natural ability, your commitment to learning, and the quality of instruction you receive. However, there are some things you can do to improve your chances of making fast progress:
  • Have a positive attitude. Learning salsa is a challenging but rewarding process. If you approach it with a positive attitude, you will be more likely to stick with it and make progress.
  • Attend classes regularly. The more you practice, the better you will become. Aim to attend classes at least once a week, and more if possible.
  • Practice between classes. There are many ways to practice salsa at home, such as watching videos, listening to music, and practicing the steps in front of a mirror.
  • Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they are learning something new. Don’t let this discourage you. Just keep practicing and you will eventually get the hang of it.
  • Focus on the enjoyment factor. Salsa is a fun dance, so make sure you are enjoying yourself. If you are not having fun, you are less likely to stick with it.

Do I need to bring a partner?

You are welcome to come to our salsa class alone, with a partner, or with friends. We rotate partners throughout the class so that everyone has the opportunity to dance with different people.

What Should I wear?

There is no dress code for salsa dancing. People wear what they feel comfortable in, but you may want to choose clothes that allow you to move freely. Avoid wearing anything too tight or restrictive, and make sure your shoes have a smooth sole so you can slide easily.

Here are some specific clothing and shoe options that would be good for salsa dancing:

  • Clothes: Skirts, dresses, leggings, yoga pants, shorts, or anything else that you can move around in easily.
  • Shoes: Ballet flats, loafers, sneakers with a smooth sole, or Latin dance shoes.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in. So have fun with it and experiment until you find something that works for you!

I don’t know much about salsa or bachata. What are these dances all about?

Bachata and salsa are both fun, fast-paced, and sensual dances that are perfect for social gatherings. The best part is that you don’t need to bring a partner! We rotate partners throughout the dance, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet new people and learn new steps. This is one of the reasons why salsa and bachata are so popular.

What’s the difference between salsa and bachata dancing?

Salsa is a fast-paced and sexy dance with a lot of quick turns, while bachata is a slower and more intimate dance that is often considered a romantic dance. Both dances are suitable for everyone, so if you’re not sure which one to book, take a look at some videos online of each one. Imagine yourself as the dancer and how it will feel to move your body to the music. I’m sure you’ll be so excited to try it out that you’ll book a class right away!
