*No previous dance experience needed.*
*It is mandatory to fill out your information about roles (leader/follower), so that we know the number of participants for each role.*
What you will learn

You can come alone or with a partner. We rotate partners when exercises allow it, so everyone gets a chance to practice and connect.
*FAQ*
*Here you will find the most commonly asked questions. We give this class as volunteers because we want to introduce dancing to a large audience, and we don't want anyone to be unable to dance because of money. We don't ask for donations, nor do we ask you to buy a ticket or a drink to participate in the class. So please read the FAQ carefully and respect the time and effort of the volunteers.*
*Important note about class balance*
This salsa class is free, which means we cannot control or guarantee the balance between leaders and followers in advance. We also cannot predict exactly who will show up on the day.
For that reason, admission to the class is based on arrival time.
*Once the class reaches maximum capacity, with a balanced number of participants, we may not be able to let more people join.*
We understand this can sometimes be frustrating, but this is the fairest way for us to keep the class balanced, organized, and enjoyable for everyone.
Please arrive on time to secure your spot.
I was X minutes late and I was told I couldn't join / the shutter was closed. Isn't that extreme?
The class always starts 15 minutes after the doors open, for example at 16:15 or 18:15. We already allow an extra 15 minutes for people to arrive.
Once the class starts, we cannot stop the class to go back over salsa steps that have already been explained. If you arrive after the class has started, you will have missed part of the lesson and may not be able to follow the steps. This doesn't just affect your experience, but also the classmates who are there to learn, as the whole class can turn into a game of catch-up.
Lastly, late arrivals can also make the class uneven in terms of followers and leaders.
*I am on the waiting list. Should I still come to the class?*
We try to keep the classes as balanced as possible, so if we notice we are getting too many leaders or followers, we move people to the waiting list.
Sadly, not everyone who signs up attends the class, so you can always still show up and see if there is a shortage of leaders or followers.
*Want to increase your odds of getting a spot in the class?*
We highly recommend coming with a partner (leader + follower), as we always give priority to pairs.
*Why am I on the waiting list if I signed up earlier / first?*
There are two main reasons: either you have attended the class before or, more likely, you previously signed up for a class and didn't show up.
Our classes are free.…
