My Salsa Course Collection

Coming Soon!! My Online Salsa Syllabus

My collection of Salsa courses is carefully designed to give you, the aspiring and discerning social dancer, what you need at each stage of your Salsa journey.

You’ll find that they contain a level of detail rarely experienced even in the best club based classes.

Right from when you take those first few tentative basic steps, my aim is to equip you with the movement, technique and musicality skills you need, as well as the motivation and mindset strategies that will actually make it possible for you to not just remember steps and moves, but develop the ability to improvise and interpret the music.

My courses vary in duration, and there is something for everyone – from complete beginner right through to advanced.

 

Why Online Salsa Courses?

The drop-in club based Salsa class market was saturated before Covid came along. Although some of the leisure sector has now reopened, we are still some way away from being able to enjoy Salsa social dancing in the clubs like we used to.

Many teachers have attempted to provide live classes online, but these are riddled with challenges. Space in our homes is limited, floor surface not ideal, and it can be hard to see the nuances of movement on a screen.

And of course, not all of us have dance partners who live with us.

Their are limitations on the tech side also. Live streaming usually has a delay, known as latency, which means it can appear that the instructor is off time to anyone watching via Zoom or similar.

There are ways around this but much of the student’s experience will depend on their tech setup.

I decided to take a different route and create my entire syllabus as a series of progressive online courses which could be drip fed over a number of weeks. 

This means you can dip in and out of the material in bite sized chunks.

It is also designed to be an additional supplement to the studio based courses and private lessons which allow the student to practice efficiently and effectively at home.

 

Courses Designed For Where You Are Right Now

I realised from my own experience that your focus with Salsa often shifts.

Sometimes you want a lot of technical input in a short space of time, other times you may want to concentrate less on technique and more on sharpening your social dance skills.

Maybe you need help with styling?

Or maybe you want to learn Salsa On2.

Or maybe you need to work on your core strength, posture and balance.

You can choose whichever course most fits your needs…there will always be something new to learn and new skills to master.

Eventually they will all combine seamlessly to create a logical pathway from beginner to advanced dancer.

 

How My Salsa Syllabus Works

My skill is making this extraordinarily complex dance much simpler to understand for normal, average people without prior dance experience or special talent…and for helping social dancers to get more enjoyment through unlocking the secrets of spontaneous improvisation, musicality, and authentic connection.

Even if you are already an experienced dancer, you will find my teaching style is unique and will enable you to make the kinds of breakthroughs in minutes which often take many other dancers many months, if not years.

My approach works for everyone – even the most introverted and inhibited , as it is all about learning to be comfortable in your own skin, and finding your own movement style.

I’m now happy to be able to offer these courses to more students than ever before via this website with its secure payment gateway.

My Online Salsa Syllabus

You can’t progress until you start ironing out those bad habits, and now is the perfect time to do this on an individual basis which will then carry over into your partnerwork when the group classes and clubs finally reopen.

Everyone starts at the beginning. I can guarantee no matter how long you have been dancing, that there is some core knowledge missing – some essential chunks of information that will completely transform what you are doing right now, and will unlock a much enhanced dancing experience.

Because my musicality and improvisation training is embedded as part of the journey from beginner level, it is important that you start with the basics. At each level there is a foundation section of core knowledge which includes the essential moves, shines and partnerwork combos, and the techniques needed to master them.
