 Frequently Asked Questions about SALSA CLASSES: Are the classes only for adults? Classes are for all ages! If you want to dance, you are welcome to join the class! Do I need a Partner?No Partner is needed to join our group class. We rotate partners so that everyone has a chance to dance with someone throughout the class. However, If you join a class with a partner and would like to stay with them, that’s ok too. Just let the instructor know ahead of time so that they keep that in mind when its time to rotate. How do the group Salsa classes work?Beginner classes are taught in four-week sessions. What this means is that the day you start, is the first day of your session. Within those four weeks you will learn four important fundamental foot works. After you have learned those four, you may ask the instructor to test you and you know them well, they will graduate you to the intermediate level where you will learn a new fundamental each week. Fundamentals are for both the men and women. How long are the group classes?Group Class are an hour long in length with 5-7 minute breaks in between classes How long will it take me to learn?Every student learns at his or her own pace. But in reality, it depends on how often you come to the classes and how often you practice. The more you practice, the faster you will learn. Private lessons help incredibly in how fast you learn as well. To pass into the Intermediate class students must learn four fundamental foot works. One fundamental is taught per class, so general students take about a month (four weeks, once a week) to pass into the intermediate class. I already have experience, do I have to start from the beginning?Although not requirement, we highly recommend everyone to take at least one of the beginner level classes. Even though you may have previous dance experience you may or may not be familiar with our particular style of salsa ( New York Style or Mambo) and/or you may not be used to our terminology. This may get confusing once you get into the intermediate class and thus slowing down your progress. That is why we recommend taking a few of the beginners classes until you get comfortable. Is it better to learn in a group environment or in private lessons?Both are beneficial to learning quickly. Students who take private lessons definitely learn at a faster pace in a shorter time. Group classes are great not only to meet other student dancers at your level, but also to test your skills in a “safe” environment. We suggest taking both until you feel comfortable with our teaching method or simply to practice. They are both very useful in the learning process. What classes do you offer?Salsa classes are taught at Aventurda Dance located at
19026 NE 29 Ave Aventura, FL 33180. Our style of salsa is called "New York Style Salsa" or "On2" or "Mambo". It’s a very romantic, smooth type of salsa with the emphasis on the 2 beat of the music.

$18 Per Class
$30 Two Classes
Or $92 per Month for UNLIMITED CLASSES!!! What is the Price of Private lesson and how does it work?Private lessons are $75 and each session is an hour long and is either for one person or a couple. Call for availability. What kind of clothing and shoes do I have to wear?For the first few classes, we recommend wearing very comfortable shoes with backs on the heel. For example, shoes with leather or hard soles are great to start classes with. No sneakers, for the rubber tends to stick to the floor and no sandals to avoid injury.† Once class attendance becomes frequent, we recommend purchasing some dance shoes. You can begin with dance sneakers or slippers. Dance shoes are available at our Aventura Studio location as well. Dance shoes can be costly, but your feet will thank you once you feel how comfortable they are how much longer you can dance in them. Where and when do you do teach your private lessons?Private lessons are done in studio or if available at our Aventura Dance Studio. Times vary by availability.
