Private and group lessons

it's not just a party!

Practice and get to know your friends

Salsa & Friends is a Salsa practica meet-up where you can practice in a friendly safe zone, receive feedback from La Candela teachers board, and get to know your fellow dancers in an after-party meetup.

All are welcome! You don't have to be a student of our school, and all levels are welcome.

Practice

Practice Salsa with people that want to practice!
We choose the right music for you to grow - that means usually easygoing music, and music from the repertoaire of Cuban dances we teach in La Candela.

GEt Feedback

Usually we have at least one teacher around the party. It's your time to questions or reminders. You can ask for a dance and/or feedback. It's the sort of stuff we normally give only in private classes!

after-party meetup

Dancing is all about connection—but on the dance floor, we don’t always have time to truly get to know one another. After the practica, we’ll often head out together for a drink and a chat: a relaxed opportunity to connect beyond the dance and turn familiar faces into real friendships.

Please be mindful - There is no class

There is no intro class to the party, and learning the basics of the dance takes more than the few minutes we can afford each student with.

Great parquet, amazing sound system, and beautiful atmosphere.

Private and private group lessons are tailored and made for you and offer the best progression a student can have. Price varies depending on the number of students taking the class.

Private classes allow full attention to the student which contribute immensely to the dancer’s development. Each class will concentrate directly on the needs of the students to allow better and faster growth. You can choose the topic you want to focus on, or we can help you figure out the next step.

The typical subjects for our private / Group classes include:

  • Salsa basics, technique, and partner-work.
    • We go through all the steps, leading/following techniques in Salsa. With all the little details and practice you need.
  • Rhythm sense building 
    • If you have a hard time keeping in rhythm, we have developed a special process for building up this sense of musicality. The process is supported by music theory and recent research in music comprehension and has been proven to work in practice.
  • Body movement and isolation
    • Improving your body movement and isolation is the base for all complex movements, and we can help you create a good foundation. We can work on any body part, giving you the theoretical, and practical knowledge on how to improve your movement quality.
  • Men / Lady Style
    • True expression starts when we start to stylize our steps and movements. Need new ideas on how to make your dance beautiful? Do you want to improve the quality of styling? We can help with that.
  • Afro-Cuban dances (Rumba / Orishas/ Congo etc…)
  • Son Cubano
  • Son Moderno (Danger & Yunaisy style)
  • Reggaeton
  • Musicality
  • Figures & Knots
  • Rueda de Casino (for groups)
