Thinking of learning to dance?

Why take up Salsa?

Salsa is a Latin dance that has gained a much higher profile in recent times thanks to shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars. If you have seen the professionals dance Salsa, and are unsure whether you should give it a go yourself, here are a few reasons to go to a class.

Fun

Dancing is fun, fun and fun. Especially after a long day of work, work and work. It helps you loosen up after a stressful day and kicks some fun back into your weekly routine. The music is upbeat and the steps emulate this.There will be times when the earning is hard work, but it's always rewarding and a lot better than staying at home. No matter how fun that game of Cheekybingo is. Play it the next day.

Fitness

Salsa dancing burns a hell of a lot of calories. Even an hour of dancing the Salsa can burn up to half the calories you take in in a day. It helps shape your body more so than a treadmill too, because you are changing the way you move your body. You'll have more energy after you go to a few sessions too.

Confidence

Dancing releases positive endorphins that make you feel better about yourself and your abilities. Which in turn will increase your confidence in yourself. Especially when you keep it up and become great at this style of dance.

Meet new people

Salsa as a dance is very social, and therefore you will find yourself easily making friends with the people you attend classes and Salsa parties with. Enjoy your dancing, enjoy your friends - the common interest will get you out more, and you'll meet many new people along the way!

Skills

You'll be learning a new skill when you take up Salsa. Learning and practise is rewarded with great dances!
