Which Salsa would you like to dance?
Two ways into Salsa are Crossbody Salsa and Cuban Salsa. We offer both. Their differences include the movement pattern, line or circle, and how turns and combinations connect.
Salsa · LA Style · Crossbody
Crossbody Salsa
In Crossbody Salsa, the couple moves mainly along a line. LA Style uses On1 timing, with the break step on the first beat. Basic steps, turns, spins and communication between leader and follower are part of the style.
Choose courses labelled Salsa in the schedule and read the description for the style and level offered.
Cuban Salsa · Casino
Cuban Salsa
Cuban Salsa, also called Casino, uses a more circular movement pattern. Partners move around each other and connect steps and turns in a flowing sequence. The style is closely connected to Cuban dance and music.
Choose courses labelled Cuban Salsa in the schedule. They have their own progression from beginner level onwards.
How your course works
A regular course consists of 7 classes × 75 minutes and is booked as a full course. The schedule shows the start date, day, time, level, teacher and studio. Open the course booking in Coursely from there.
You are welcome with or without a dance partner. We usually rotate partners in partner dance classes, but joining the rotation is optional. If you come together, you may keep dancing with each other.

Salsa is both music and dance, with strong Cuban and Afro-Caribbean roots. The music developed further through encounters between Latin American musicians in places such as New York. Son, Mambo and other music and dance traditions are part of the background that gives Salsa its variety.
Different Salsa styles emphasise rhythm, movement and partnership in different ways. Crossbody can use different timing, such as On1 and On2. Cuban Salsa has its circular Casino, while Colombian Salsa, also called Cali Style, is often associated with fast footwork. These descriptions help you recognise the styles; the schedule shows the courses we currently offer.
