Get ready for a fresh spin on Latin Revolution!

This 6-week Salsa course dives deeper into the vibrant Cuban roots, culture and heritage that gave birth to Salsa’s unmistakable rhythm and spirit and sparked a global movement. Alongside mastering different rhythms, footwork, and body movement, you’ll now explore partner work - learning how to connect, lead and follow with confidence.

Each session blends technique, timing, and musicality with dynamic partner combinations designed to build trust, flow, connection and creativity on the dancefloor. From smooth cross-body leads to playful turn patterns and expressive styling, you’ll experience the full energy of Salsa as a social dance.

Whether you come solo or with a partner, this course invites you to move as one, feel the rhythm of Cuba, and dance with genuine Latin flair. Step into the rhythm, connect with the roots, and let the true energy of Latin dance move you. Be part of the dancefloor revolution!
