QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Before you start
-
Meeting new people, having a great time and making friends while learning the basic salsa movements and how to lead and follow. You will dance with different partners from day one (if you'd rather not switch partners, just let us know and we'll arrange it) and learn while having fun!
No dance background needed and no stage fright. Nobody has ever regretted it. -
No. You can come to any class on your own. We rotate partners regularly, so you practise leading and following with different people, just like on any real dance floor.
If you come with your own partner and prefer not to switch, just let us know and we'll arrange that too, of course. -
No. Our beginner classes are made for people starting from zero. We take you through the first steps and get you up to speed. You will learn the right technique and how to lead and follow from day one, so when you go out, you can dance with whoever you want.
-
We teach one of the most popular salsa styles in the world: LA style salsa (often also called On1 or Puerto Rican style). What you learn here, you can dance on any dance floor, anywhere!
-
We offer classes from beginner to advanced. How fast you progress is up to you, but most students are ready for the next level after one semester. Our courses page shows the current level structure.
-
Salsa knows no limits: all ages are welcome!
-
Our classes are taught in English, and we're happy to help in German too. Zurich is international, and nobody should hold back because of language. Just let us know.
-
Comfortable clothes are all you need to start, and you don't need special dance shoes. The only exception is our parties: there we ask you to wear clean indoor shoes instead of street shoes, to protect our dance floor.

-
As long as you tell us before you pay which classes you can't attend, you won't pay for them, so you only pay for the classes you plan to attend. If you still miss a class, you're welcome to make it up in a class at a similar level during the same period. Give us a call and we'll arrange it for you.
-
You can cancel your membership at any time. The cancellation takes effect from the next period, and you can still use your current period in full.
