LEVELS (explanations)

The general philosophy for levels 1 and 2 is that the lessons are adapted according to the students.

On the other hand, for levels 3 and 4, it is the students who must adapt to the lessons and if they cannot do so, they must go down a level.

LEVEL 1

*We study basic behaviors alone and in couple (PARTNERWORK)

*We study the LEADING & FOLLOWING* concept.

*We create combinations of moves easy to learn.

*We make the necessary corrections.

*The volume of the course content is low.

*The speed of teaching is slow.

*Teaching Philosophy: The course is adapted to the students.

LEVEL 2

*We keep working on the LEADING & FOLLOWING* concept.

*We create combinations of moves more interesting than in level 1.

*We make the necessary corrections.

*The volume of the course content is low.

*The speed of teaching is slow.

*We suggest STYLING* for ladies.

*We suggest the MUSICALITY.

*Teaching Philosophy: The course is adapted to the students.

LEVEL 3

*We create longer combinations of moves than in level 2.

*We focus on precision and all the little details that make the difference between an average and a great dance.

*We make the necessary corrections.

*The volume of the course content is low or high depending on the topic of the day.

*The speed of teaching is fast.

*We strongly suggest STYLING* for ladies.

*We suggest the MUSICALITY.

*Teaching Philosophy: The students must adapt to the course or go down a level.

LEVEL 4

*Same than level 3 but we focus even more on precision and details.

*We also focus on STYLING and MUSICALITY.

*Teaching Philosophy: The students must adapt to the course or go down a level.

------------------------ LEXICON ------------------------ 

PARTNERWORK

It’s the fact of dancing with someone. Salsa and bachata are dances that we dance mainly by 2 people but sometimes it happens that we dance alone making SHINES*

SHINES / PASITOS

These terms refer to a person who dances alone a part or an entire song of salsa/bachata

LEADING & FOLLOWING

It means understanding the language of the dance. It’s like "writing and reading" a story together with moves.

STYLING

It’s enhancing the moves we do together to make them more interesting or beautiful. Both men and women are using that concept, but women use it even more.

MUSICALITY

Its the fact of making all kind of moves resonate with the music and more specifically with the accents of the music (accents = the more remarquable sounds)

Salsa or Bachata (normal classes)

Classes are organized in sessions of 1h

When you register, it is not necessary to have a partner.

If you register with a partner, you will be automatically accepted, but if you are alone your acceptance will depend on the men/women's balance in the group.

In all cases, do not hesitate to Pre-register.

About the classes

For level 1 the teacher will always adapt to the need of the participants.

In the other hand the participants of level 2, 3 must take accountabily of their skills and the teacher will not wait after the people who are not ready for that.

Also he may ask you to wait having more experience to join the group.

AFTER CLASSES

Depending on the opportunities we have, we will offer to our students a small training session (practica) where they can practice their new moves or we can go all together to an event (Social) from other organizers. During theses trainings or events you will have the opportunity to train and socialise with a lot of new people who share the same passion.

MISSING CLASSES

For the quality of the classes and gender balance we need you to be reponsible.

Missing lessons is not recommended but if it happens, it's mandatory to notify the teacher days/hours before the class

Be careful, this program is conceived for only extremely motivated and demanding people. We will be very demanding as well and your resistance will be tested.

In all cases don't hesitate to pre-register in the form below.

Commitment and missing classes

When we organise classes, we pay attention to the number of people, the level, the gender balance... If someone is missing, that organisation falls appart and there are consequences on everyone in the group. We ask to each student to commit to the entire program, missing classes is not allowed exept for sickness of course. If you need to miss classes for other reasons, it’s possible but we must talk about it before registration, we will check if your request does not impact the group too much. If you miss a class without asking, you take the risk that we will ask you to come to the next program from next session. In no case a refound will be provided.

BONUS

During the duration of their accelerated program, students can come to regular lessons for free in order to review certain elements of the accelerated course to improve their skills.

This bonus is only available if the gender balance in the group is ok.
