Description
Basic classes focus on the 4 core variations: Basic, Cross Body Lead, Simple Turn, Cross Body Lead Turn. These 4 variations are the fundamentals to salsa dancing (notice that most intermediate steps are variations derived from the core), and are taught in every class for students to practice and master them.
The core variations are not the only thing you learn in the basic class.
Basic classes are conducted in sets of 5 (B1 to B5). In every class, different techniques of lead and follow will be covered. These techniques are essential because the variations are not fixed in social dancing and you have to learn how to lead and follow to any step.
B1: on Tension (the proper force to lead & how to follow)
B2: on Hook (how to keep hand contact without grabbing)
B3: on Line (how respecting the line makes dancing easier and cleaner)
B4: on Basic (looking good while doing the basic footwork)
B5: on Lead & Follow (important techniques to lead & follow smoothly)
You are encouraged to take at least 100 basic classes to be a good dancer.

Description
Intermediate classes range from intermediate 1 to intermediate 10. Each intermediate level has 5 classes (e.g., intermediate 1.1 to intermediate 1.5). The different levels are not based on difficulty of the step but on the different kinds of steps (e.g., copa, forehead lead, hammerlock…). It is possible to take intermediate 10 even if it is your first intermediate class.
Each class covers ladies’ styling and different variations.
It is possible and common in our school to take the basic and intermediate classes simultaneously. The basic classes help you to focus on perfecting your techniques while the intermediate classes expose you to the different variations in salsa.
You are encouraged to take each intermediate class at least 3 times. You will find that you have a deeper understanding of the variations every time you repeat it.

Afro Cuban is a mating-like dance that is used by advanced dancers as a shine in salsa. Its deceivingly easy steps are a challenge to master due to its unique style and flow. The spontaneous interaction between male and female within the dance is more demanding and a challenge that most people enjoy. Try it out to incorporate a different feel into your salsa.

On2 Basic Class

Difficulty
Basic/Intermediate
Description
On2 is another style of salsa. It is not as common as On1 in Singapore (the standard LA-style salsa taught in the school), as its syncopated rhythm is harder to follow. On2 has a slightly different feel due to the change in rhythm of the footwork and originates from New York. Those who want to explore other kinds of salsa should try it out, though it can be slightly confusing for the On1 dancer at the initial stage.
