Salsa Dundee

Remember folks there are no more regular latin quarter tuesday salsa classes now, starting back in September.

There are the bootcamps on 14th or 21st July if any of you regular Tuesday beginners or improvers level dancers want to refresh. See bootcamp event info on this site.

Latin Quarter BOOTCAMPS

Never had the time to learn to dance salsa or bachata in weekly classes ? Here is your chance to learn the equivalent of 4 or 5 weeks of weekly classes all in one evening ! FAST TRACK your dance journey ! 
After one bootcamp you should be ready to hit the dance floor at socials !

What to expect : 

A bootcamp is an intensive accelerated learning experience designed for total beginners or for anyone needing to refresh the basics.The Bootcamps consist of a 2.5 hour learning session (includes a short break half way), then at the end there will be a short guided session to practise what you have learnt.   

There will be limited places to enable quality teaching time. 

Where & when : 

Salsa – Tuesday 14th July, Bachata – Tuesday 21st July

6.30-9.30pm @ The Deaf Hub,Old Mill, 23, Brown St, Dundee. DD1 5EF   
Directions to Deaf hub on class page at www.salsadundee.com.

Please note : there is no car parking outside the deaf hub (may get a parking ticket), best to park on Brown street.

More information: 

Around the world at latin socials both salsa & bachata music is often played so it’s good to learn the basics of both. 

Salsa originates from Cuba but is danced around the world now, there are different styles of Salsa. We will be learning On 1 Salsa. 
Bachata originates from the Dominican Republic, there are different styles of Bachata dance, such as, traditional, sensual, moderna etc. We will be combining basic moderna turn patterns and a few other elements in our Bachata fusion bootcamp.
In both bootcamps we will learn the essential footwork, basic turn patterns, the rhythm and a few moves. 

Salsa and Bachata are partner dances but you don’t need a partner to attend, we will usually change partners during the class.  However if you come with a partner and don’t want to change partners this can also be accommodated. 
Dancing is fun and great for your brain. It can improve confidence , rhythm & co ordination.  It’s also great for socialising and meeting new people !  

We are very friendly at Latin Quarter and hold regular monthly socials, weekly classes, live latin band nights and try to organise class meals out too to provide many opportunities to chat outside of classes.  Many friendships have been formed from dance classes and even a romantic relationship or two over the years !

Booking & prices: Ideally try to book a place in advance, please email LQsalsadundee@gmail.com or contact Salsa Dundee- Latin Quarter on facebook messenger. You can book one or  both bootcamps. You can also just turn up on the night.
