Group salsa lessons are a fun, social, and affordable way to learn how to salsa dance. Some group classes can be as large as 40 people or as small as 5. The average class size at 15-20 people. In group classes, students are required to rotate partners throughout the evening. If you’re a man, this helps you learn to lead different women. If you’re woman, this helps you learn how to follow different leading styles. Another advantage to our group classes here at Salsafix Dance Studios is that you never need a partner! Students who take group classes on regular basis also form friendships and there is no better place to meet a potential dance partner then in a salsa class.

Salsafix Dance Studios always tries to teach at a pace that accommodates everyone in the class. Therefore some people will feel the class is too fast while a couple others may feel the class is a little too slow. This could be considered a downside of group salsa lessons, in that the instructor can't give you individualized attention. The instructor is watching the entire class and not just you. If having that critical eye focused only upon you is what you are looking for, then you may want to consider Private salsa instruction.

The one main benefit that group classes have over private lessons is the opportunity to practice with many different dance partners. Learning to follow and learning to lead is a skill that develops over time through experience. One must practice with many different people in order to gain the experience necessary to develop this ability.

We believe the optimal way to learn is to take both private and group lessons hand in hand. This gives you the critical one on one attention along with regular partner-work experience.
