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 :-)
