We introduce the basic techniques and footwork of Salsa in our beginner on1 salsa class in Singapore .  Throughout the course, students learn how to lead and follow their partners in the dance - this is essential for Salsa training which will eventually allow students to dance with dancers from all over the world even though they have not previously met or taken the same Salsa lessons in Singapore! 

You do not need to bring a partner; you can come for class with friends or by yourself.  We rotate partners to ensure that the students will get to know each other in class and are able to lead/follow properly. 

Dance experience is not required: the class is meant for those who have not danced before in their life and also for those who want a "refresher" course on how Salsa is done. 

Intermediate Salsa on1 teaches over 100 different variations for students to use on the dance floor.  In this Salsa class in Singapore , we cover the lead and follow techniques for standard intermediate variations.   

Basic elements of Salsa Shines, Salsa Styling, Bachata, Merengue, Street Cha Cha Cha and Casino Rueda are also taught to equip students with the basic knowledge of how to beautify their social dancing and also experience the other dances that are danced on the social dance floor.  

ACTFA's intermediate syllabus rotates around 100 different variations.  These 100 variations introduces different styles and techniques to the students in random order of difficulty; you do not need to complete the first 49 classes in order to attend the 50th class. Similar to the beginners' class, a partner is not needed to attend the class; knowledge of basic Salsa is needed for this class. 

The Salsa On2 is another genre of Salsa (as compared to Salsa on1) that has a slightly more syncopated feel.  The difference between Salsa on1 & on2 can be similar to transposing a song from one key to another.  The steps are same, but the timing and counts differ.

This Salsa class in Singapore teaches you how to convert your dance steps from Salsa on1 to Salsa on2.  Recommended for Intermediate students who are already proficient in dancing Salsa on1.

You can also learn Salsa in Singapore: Cuban style.  Cuban Salsa is a popular genre of Salsa that is a more traditional form of Salsa from the Caribbean.  It focuses on the feel and groove of Salsa and tends to dance in a more circular way as compared to the modernized Salsa on1 & on2.  Try our Cuban Salsa Class in Singapore now.

Rueda de casino, is a highly addictive and fun salsa dance style where couples come together to dance in a circle with a leader(caller) giving commands.  It's a very fun salsa class in Singapore, and is really beautiful when everyone is able to dance smoothly and in synchrony! 

It’s a great way to practice your moves as everyone executes the same moves in time to the caller’s commands.  It’s fun and filled with lots of laughter, a great way for beginner leaders to master their Salsa steps on the dance floor and beginner followers to practice their following techniques.   

Gathered in a circle, the dancers execute the same moves in what seems like a pre-determined set of choreographed moves.  Then, getting closer, you realize that there is actually a leader calling out the moves for everyone to execute at the same time! 

Lots of fun both on the dance floor and in class, our Rueda salsa lessons in Singapore is great for people who are scared to dance the whole song with a single partner because they cannot remember their steps : we change partners throughout the dance, and the leader will tell you what moves to do!

Afro Cuban Rumba was formed and performed by the African descent in the streets of Cuba and remains the most characteristic form of music and dance till today. The definition of Rumba in Spanish means to go to parties to have fun and dance and so, the dance form lives up to its definition as a fun, sassy Latin-style of ballroom dance. Nowadays Rumba can be danced to any modern music, however, the key components are polyrhythmic drumming and vocal improvisation. The modern day Rumba is infused with jazz and hip hop combining small steps with bent knees and hip movements. It is considered a romantic form of dance where the ladies show attitude to their male partners but the most important feature is keeping connection with your partner. The dancers of rumba usually express a sassy, smooth, and sensual attitude. To achieve that, the toes should be at a slight diagonal to allow us to achieve the main hip movement, Cuban motion.
