Are all ages welcome?2025-10-06T13:06:21+00:00

Salsa doesn’t check birth certificates. If you can walk, you can Salsa. Our students range from 18 to 60+
If you are under 18 we would like you to join with a parent either in the class or present during the lesson as this is usually for adults not kids.

Do I need to come with a partner?2025-10-06T13:04:20+00:00

No. We change partners throughout the lesson. 80% of students come without a partner. 

I’m shy, is that a problem?2025-10-06T13:02:37+00:00

From our experience we see a lot of introverts dancing Salsa & Bachata.
The reason they feel so good dancing is because everyone’s focused on dancing.
No body needs to be a stand up comedian to dance. It’s about dancing not public speaking.

I’m worried about being the worst2025-10-06T13:01:37+00:00

Every dancer you’ve admired once stood exactly where you’re standing now… at the start.
We will teach you all the basics step-by-step. It’s all good. We are here for you.

But I don’t have any rhythm. Can I learn this?2025-10-06T13:03:01+00:00

Don’t worry. We got you sorted. We teach everyone musicality and how to hear the rhythm. It’s definitely something you can develop over time.

I feel very self-conscious to join a dance class2025-10-06T13:03:27+00:00

You have nothing to worry about. Everyone’s too busy trying to remember their own steps to judge yours.

Do I need to book?2025-09-20T14:31:51+00:00

Yes. We often sell out so book ahead or reach out if you have any issues. 

What should I bring to class?2025-09-20T14:32:21+00:00

Nothing. Just a positive attitude. A big bonus if you smell good. Hygiene is more important than skills in social dancing. 

Do you organise any social nights?2025-09-20T14:32:26+00:00

Yes we do. Keep an eye on our social media accounts and Whatsapp group for announcements.

How can I practice outside of class?2025-09-20T14:07:02+00:00
  • Enjoy our 30 minute social dance between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Play Salsa & Bachata music at home and dance by yourself as often as you can when you first start out.
  • Go out social dancing at least once a week. Sydney has so many regular social events such as The Collaroy on Friday nights.
  • The most comprehensive website to find up coming events is Sydney Salsa Scene.
