Have you always wanted to learn to dance? Have you perhaps wanted to learn to dance salsa specifically. Maybe you are looking for a way to be social and meet new people?

The course will run as follows:
At the end of the 5 lessons you will have learned 6 figures that you can dance in combination. This will make you ready for a social night at one of Melbourne's salsa events.
On a regular basis, you, along with the others doing the classes and the instructor, will attend a social salsa event in Melbourne. That means that the course will finish off with you attending a real-life salsa event and you being an active part of it. You will be one of Melbourne's salsa dancers and a part of the salsa community. Much like what you see below, which was taken at a Melbourne salsa night.

Other benefits of dance
You might have heard in the media about how dance is good for you.
Dance is good for the body because it gets you up and moving. When you dance you will start to feel your body loosen and work better.
However, dance is even better for the brain. Because you are working with the music and your partner and then noticing what else is going on around you, your brain goes into overdrive. This keeps your mind active and healthy for the rest of your life.
Dance is easily one of the best pass-times to choose if you want to have a full and active life. Especially if it is social dance. And that's what this course is about.
