Is it difficult to dance
We practice rhythm and coordination during the course. We start
with the basics and explain the steps carefully and how they are
taken to the music. Once we´ve learned the basics we move
on by explaining how to move the body when we dance. We will also
learn about the feeling in the music and how to improvise using
what you´ve learned. The dance couples will also learn how
to lead and follow so that the connection to each other will run
more smoothly while you are dancing
Preknowledge
BASIC COURSE
You don't need any preknowledge to attend the basic course
ADVANCED COURSES AND HIGHEST LEVEL
To make the courses as fun as possible for you we have made some
course goals (kursmål) for all our courses. So that you
feel motivated to learn what we teach during the course and also
feel motivated to practice a little bit at home between course
occasions. To advance to higher levels you should master the material
from underlying levels. With master we mean "dance independently
in pace with the music". At the top of each course level,
see Course material / Courses - click
here (only in Swedish), you will find the headline KURSMÅL
(course goal) that contains what you should master after that
level (both as text and as web videos)
The reason for this demand of preknowledge is that it's better
for both teachers and students if it's an even level in the group.
We don't want to stress you out and that is why you only pay half
price if you want to retake a course level, so that everyone can
climb the course levels at their own pace. Our best advise to
have fun and learn a lot is to take it easy and enjoy and learn
each level carefully. You get much better possibility to enjoy
the music, dance and the social bit and to improvise and have
a great time if you are sure of what you are doing. We play plenty
of music and there is a lot of dancing in couples which means
that it doesn´t get dull if you attend the same level twice.
We also offer help in form of instruction DVDs and web videos
with patterns, steps and turns, SalsaRhythmCDs to learn how to
find the pace in the music and also private lessons
Our dances
We offer Salsa, Samba, Reggaeton, African dance, Oriental dance
/ belly dancing: Bellylatina, Samba and Rueda De Casino
Clothes and shoes
The best thing to wear is ordinary comfortable clothes such as
jeans/pants/skirt/tights and a t-shirt/top. The shoes have to
be clean indoor shoes that don´t leave black marks on the
floor. The shoes should be comfortable like for example sneakers,
dance sneakers, dance shoes or ordinary shoes. You can also use
socks or be barefoot

When does the next course set start
In the middle of ongoing course set the course schedule for the
next course set will appear on the homepage - see Course schedule
i the left menu. See also course sets / year below
Course sets / year
We usually have two course sets each semester and sometimes
also summer courses, so that makes 4 or 5 course starts every
year. A course set is usually 6 weeks long. The length of a course
usually is either 6 weeks or 12 weeks depending on which course
you choose. The summer courses are usually 4 weeks long
The spring courses usually starts about the last week in january
The autumn courses usually starts about the first week in september
The summer courses are usually in may-june
Which language
The courses are mostly in Swedish. If there are students in
a course that can´t understand Swedish, it is common that
there will be a mix of speaking Swedish and English. It depends
a bit on how comfortable the teacher of your course is with speaking
English. If you can´t understand Swedish please talk to
your teacher at your course about this
Usually, however, it works fine even if you don´t understand
the language. The teachers show the steps clearly. You can also
ask the teachers questions in English if there is anything you
wonder about
Number of participants
Depends on the size of the dancing room, the number of teachers
of the course and how many students that register. Some courses
have 50 participants and some 10. There are positive effects in
both cases. With many participants you meet a lot of people and
the possibility for advanced courses are bigger. With few participants
there will be a more personal contact with the teacher and every
student gets more attention and personal help. If you dance with
us for a period of time you will experience courses with both
few and many participants

Singles or couples
In the courses with dance in couples we dance both in single
and in couples. You can register either in single or as a couple.
The gender distribution in the courses with couple dancing vary.
We usually bring in more guys or girls from parallel courses when
needed, so usually it works out fine. We change dance partner
often according to a system where everybody is dancing with everybody.
It´s also ok if you want to stay with your partner (sometimes
we want everyone to change partner, so the group gets to know
eachother, or if at one occasion the gender distribution is uneven)
Retake a course level
You pay half price if you want to retake a course level, more
info in Price & discount in the left menu
Start directly in an advanced course
It´s ok to register directly to an advanced course. Register
for the level you think is appropriate. During the first course
week you are welcome to come and try out several levels to find
out if you have choosen the right level. If you want to change
level you can do that. Info about levels and course length - click
here
Even if you are already a good dancer, there is often things to
learn in lower levels, so you are welcome to use the opportunity
to dance for free in lower and parallel levels of the same course
type. More info about this in Price & discount in
the left menu

Levels and course length
The levels are basic course, advanced 1, advanced 2, etc...
up to our highest level that we call "highest level".
We also have show groups. In all levels except highest level the
course program is fixed, which means that the course have the
same content every time it is given. In highest level the content
is new every new course (sometimes the content of the highest
of the advanced levels also change). In highest level we will
also work a little bit with putting the things we learn together
to a choreography to a special song - not super serious but for
fun and nice to do things choreographed to the music. If the students
feel like it and an opportunity presents itself we will also dance
this choreography public as a little salsa show :-)

different levels you can find here:
