Do I need a partner?
No - We cycle through partners every few minutes so that both
advanced and beginner dancers can learn from each other. We find that this is
better for everyone, as
people learn more quickly and it makes the evening much more
social.What should I wear?
Salsa is an energetic form of dance, so your clothes should be light
and comfortable. Shoes should be light, flexible and spin
easily on a wooden dance floor.
Ladies: Jeans, trousers, leggings, skirts or dresses with tops or
bodies.
Gents: Jeans, trousers with shirt or T-shirt.

How much is a class?
We charge 10 euro per person for a full evening. This includes two and a half
hours of lessons and another two hours of social dancing; So take
advantage of it !! (come early, stay late). You can come
or leave at any point during the night but the longer you stay the more
you will learn.
What's the age range of the people in your
club?
We attract a complete mixture of people from their late teens
through to retirement. All ages are welcome.

What types of dance do you teach?

Is parking easily available?
Yes, all clubs have public car parks nearby. You can park to the rear of
the Greville Arms Hotel in Mullingar. To access this parking lot; drive
to the end of Church Ave. (the street to the left of the hotel and
beside McDonalds) and take a right in through the large double gates.
Please note: You will need to press the triangular shaped button on the
control panel next to your drivers window to open the gates.
When should I start?
As soon as possible! Why wait? ;) All our classes work on a
'Drop-in' system. With beginner, intermediate and advanced classes
on every night (that we teach), no matter what level you are,
you can drop in and we will be happy to teach you. Note: Some
of our advanced classes carry through from one week to the next so if
you come regularly you will benefit more and find the classes
easier. How long does it take to
become a great dancer?
This really depends on the individual. Dance is an ever growing
art, so there is always more you can learn and ways you can improve. On
average; for a lady who is an absolute beginner, it takes about 6
classes to get a feel for Salsa and really start to enjoy it. For a man,
it can take twice as long, as he must lead the dance and remember all of
the moves and combos. But don't let this put you off; as during the
whole process you will be having fun, making lots of friends and getting
really fit. And, with regular attendance, it
will seem like no time at all before you Are a great dancer!
Still unsure? Then check out our party
photos. We host Salsa Party Nights on a regular bases; They're a
lot of fun, and a great way to meet people and try out your dancing
skills ;). But we're not the only ones! There's a whole community of
Salsa dancers in Ireland, with events and classes happening all over
the country. Don't believe us? Then go to
Salsa.ie, it's the forum for the
Irish Salsa world and includes all the class - event listings. If
we're too far from you, then why not find out who the local
instructor in your area is!
So long as you're dancing, we're happy.
"Looking forward to meeting you on the dance floor."
