General class notes:	How to find the venue: From the A38 take the A382 towards Bovey Tracey. Turn left at the second roundabout (B3387) towards Haytor and Widecombe. After half a mile, fork left towards Haytor and you will find us a quarter of a mile from there on the right. There is ample car parking in the grounds.
Teacher:	Ian and Julie - we've been teaching salsa together for over 5 years now - we're both immersed in dance - most evenings we're either teaching salsa, attending salsa dancenights, or attending tango workshops and milongas. Our teaching style is reasonably informal but we pay a lot of attention to good technique (even if that means we may simplify a turn pattern to make sure people are dancing the basics right). We provide a really sound mix of information for both leaders and followers - there are too few teaching partnerships in the Region able to offer this level of teaching input for both partners in the dance. We don't teach Intermediate classes on the grounds that most people in the Region rarely, if ever, dance to that level - but you will find that our Improver class varies in difficulty from week to week and every so often we'll drop an Intermediate level element into the Improver pattern - so don't assume that our classes will be undemanding! We also manage the content of our classes so if you are less experienced you won't feel out of your depth - we are pretty good at helping people to work to a specific level in class and we don't push you to cover the whole pattern unless you are comfortable with it. We are also not pattern-driven - we believe it is much more important to get the basics right - and that means we focus on good technique, effective communication between partners, smoothness in the dance and an awareness of the space you occupy on the dancefloor and the flow of one well-executed move into another. Salsa is a showy dance - so our teaching is geared towards ensuring that you and your dance partner are able to really enjoy the dance as well as being able to put on a good show for anyone who happens to be watching! Please note that during our classes we call for regular partner changes - these are important to ensure that your dancing develops properly (and it's a sociable approach to the evening).
