Salsa Taster Classes

A one-off beginner-friendly session designed to introduce you to the basics of Salsa, including posture, rhythm, and simple partner work.

A taster helps you try the style, meet the tutor, and experience the pace and atmosphere before committing to a full course. You’ll gain confidence, learn the fundamentals, and see if Salsa is the right fit for you.

No, you can come on your own and we’ll rotate partners during the class so everyone gets a chance to dance.

No previous dance experience is needed. Our tutors will guide you step by step in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, along with supportive shoes. For inspiration, read our definitive guide on what to wear to a dance class.

The leader is the dancer who gently shows where the movement will go. They give clear signals—using their hands, body, and timing—to invite the other dancer to move in a certain way.

The follower is the dancer who listens to those signals and responds with their own movement. They don’t guess—they feel the leader’s guidance and move with them, in the same rhythm and direction.

• They pay close attention to touch and timing.
• They follow smoothly, adding their own energy and style.
• They move with control, not just being led—they dance back.


A good follower is not passive—they are active, expressive, and always ready.

Yes! Anyone can be a leader or a follower. Some people learn both. It doesn’t depend on gender—just on who wants to guide and who wants to respond in the moment. In social dancing, partners sometimes even switch roles during the same song.

If you enjoy the class, you can join our Beginners Salsa Course, where you’ll expand your repertoire, learn new turns and partner combinations, and build the confidence to dance Salsa anywhere.
