Salsa Refresher Bootcamp – Beginner/Improver

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.

Location

La Candela Studio

Great parquet, amazing sound system, and beautiful atmosphere.

Berlin's regulations finally allow us to give couple classes for fixed partners. We know it's been a while, and we want to get back to teach from we have left things. So in order to get you all up to speed, we are now offering two Salsa boot camps.

All are welcome, but keep in mind that the boot camps are not normal speed classes, they are refreshers for our normal Salsa Program. So we do recommend joining with previous knowledge.

We will also give you some time to practice as we are aware that social dance is currently severely limited.

Beginner / Improver Bootcamp

In this bootcamp with will go through our Beginner course material (Dile Que No, Enchufala, Enchufala Doble, Kentucky etc..) and we will touch the material of the first two improver classes (Tension Leading, Vacilala, El Uno etc..)

  • According to regulations, the class will be given to fixed partners.
  • If you don't have a partner, let us know and we will try to arrange a partner for you.
