Beginners Class Details
Our beginners class starts at 7:30pm with the first of four 45 minute sessions. This is is attended by both new comers and experienced dancers to help out. Eddi teaches 3 or 4 beginners moves, from the stage with David and the class is instructed with each move broken down individually and explained in 'slow time'.
Once these moves have been grasped they are linked together to allow dancers to practice a small routine continually. This allows existing dancers to introduce, during the freestyle sessions, moves from previous weeks, thus building up their own routine in a relatively short space of time.
In the second 45 minute session we turn up the music, change to mood lighting and practice the moves you have been taught or simply dance moves from your repertoire. This is a chance to mix with the other dancers and learn from them. It is also an opportunity to see what levels SalsaJive can be taken to. Eddi, David and the SalsaJive Support dancers will be on hand for advice and help.
The third 45 minute session is split with the beginners given instruction on the moves they have just learned on a virtual one to one basis, by the SalsaJive Support dancers. This is done at a very relaxed pace where questions are encouraged, ensuring by the end of the class, that all dancers are comfortable with the weeks routine. Its also an opportunity to recap previous weeks moves if required.
The fourth and final 45 minute session of the evening is for freestyle again and gives everyone the chance to show off the moves introduced in the class.
