Do I need a partner?
| Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class info:
You do not need to book with a partner as our booking system balances the number of men and women booked onto the course.
Couple will be required to mix and change partners throughout the day.
There are three main reasons for this policy:
Salsa is a social dance where the 'club culture' is to change partners and dance with many people within the club. The Salsa Rapido method is obliged to reflect the local club culture within our classes.
You will learn faster and better by dancing with many different dancers. The more you can experience a wide range of leading / following skills the better you are prepare for the clubs. Also within a class good practice is spread through changing partners, where couple that stay together often compensate for one bad practice with another. This would make it difficult to dance with anyone else.
In a full day course relationships can be strained through over familiarity with each other. This often leads to unpleasant exchanges.
If you have issues relating to you or your partner dancing with other people, this course and maybe salsa dancing in general may not be for you.
