I LOVED IT. Alistair is a gifted teacher. He makes everyone feel great. Even the absolute beginners were bobbing along fine. I enjoyed the exercises which were playful and easy. And made me understand how the emphasis on different beats within the salsa rhythm can change. Is that why different men dance so differently? And I loved every word that Alistair explained about theory. A fountain of knowledge.
THANK YOU! Please come back soon!

 Salsa Leading and following | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

In salsa dancing there are two roles: Leading and Following. Traditionally men lead and women follow, but things have changed and this century it is commonplace in salsa clubs, and salsa classes to see anyone dancing with anyone regardless of gender or sexuality.

Many people come into salsa dancing believing that it’s simply a bunch of people looking to ‘hook up’ with each other. ‘The hot Latin lover or dusky Cuban girl stereotypes still persist today. Any glance at the P.R. machine surrounding Strictly Come Dancing will associate dance with sexual transgression. The fact is that salsa was never a singles only scene and isn’t today. Let’s face it, these days, people are more likely to use dating apps than a dance floor to meet people. What is true is that people dance for fun and dancing with anyone can be fun. Good dancers place respect at the core of their dance relationships as that simply makes the dancing better for everyone.

From a salsa dance teaching perspective it’s incredibly useful for students to experience leading and following at a basic level. Doing so: Builds empathy; De-stresses; Builds communication and Challenges objectification.
Dancing the non-gender traditional role neither emasculates or defeminises, it simply increases your dance experience and therefore your dance confidence.

 Can I really learn in a day | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Yes- Our aim is for you to have all the skills necessary to go out to salsa clubs that night and dance all night.
Secondly you should be able to join any class at above Beginners level and finally you will have the 'look and feel' of a salsa dancers.

 What style do you teach | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Salsa Rapido is teaching method not a style of salsa. It’s a well developed foundation course that draws from and prepares you for any regional style of salsa. see Salsa Rapido: Regional Styles in Salsa (2019)
Through comparing different elements from various regional styles, you'll have a greater depth of understanding and be able to make informed choices about your style.
Salsa Rapido is there to foster your style and your expression. I hope you’ll be informed by, and not confined by, the style of others. Many people mistakenly believe that the regional styles are incompatible. This is totally untrue.

The goal is to be able to dance with anyone from anywhere, easily adapting to their style whilst expressing yourself with confidence, consideration and authenticity.

Salsa Rapido presents the required skills in a way that helps you to quickly achieve a high level of competence regarding style, communication, timing, mechanics etc.
You’ll also avoid "bad habits" that will limit you at a higher level.

 Can I really learn in a day | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Can I learn Salsa in a day?

Yes- You will have all the skills necessary to go out dancing salsa, with sufficient repertoire and style to feel confident on the dance floor.
You will also have the concepts to succeed in any UK salsa class at above beginners level.
Finally you will have that 'look' of a Salseros (You at your most confident best)

I strongly recommend you set a date to go dancing to test what you’ve learnt ASAP. You will not feel as if you can really do it, until you’ve followed through and gone dancing. It will be scary, thrilling and amazing so be brave and do it!

Fitness
The 1-Day intensive is carefully structured so that anyone of average fitness can enjoy the day.
Minimum age is 18 and most will be between 22 and 55 (see gallery)
We ask that if you have any medical condition that may affect your performance, that you seek professional advice before booking.
You may be a little stiff the following day so please stretch before you go to bed.
Motivation:
A 1-Day Intensive is especially appealing for those who:
Hate the idea of spending weeks at a beginners level.
Are catching up a friend who already dances salsa.
Feel they would have given up on a regular weekly class before getting to dancer level.
They are going on holiday to a salsa region.
They are getting married and wish to dance salsa for their first dance.

 Why have balanced numbers | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Balanced numbers of men and women are essential for a full day course.
Ask anyone who has tried a one hour class with too many women. Ladies either have to chop and change from leading to following or sit out part of the time. In a five hour course this is unacceptable.

We do encourage ladies to learn to lead but suggest them learn to follow first.

The only down side of balanced numbers is that we often have to form waiting lists if too many men or women want to book.

 Pricing and Discounts | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Pricing:
The regular price before discounts for the 1-Day Intensive for beginners is £65 per person.
Discounts:
Booking online and telling us how you heard about us triggers the following prices:

Couples (one leader and one follower)- £95 saving £35.


Big Groups: (4 Couples +)
This course is not suitable for stag/ hen parties.

 What level am I | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

Am I a beginner or Improver
In ascending order the general levels are:
Beginner, Improver, Intermediate, Advanced.

Beginners:
If you have never had a salsa class before, or you have tried a couple of salsa classes you are a beginner. No expertise in another dance qualifies you for salsa although you can expect to find many aspects of the course easier.
An excellent natural definition of a salsa beginner is that you cannot keep the footwork sequence going consistently unless most of your attention is focussed upon it.
Improvers:
An improver has generally completed 6-10 classes (weekly 1 hour) and can consistently keep the footwork sequence going while thinking of other things. You will have experienced spins, turns and various combinations but probably have not mastered them or cannot remember them.
Usually improvers are not confident of dancing in a freestyle situation and lack practice.
The Improver level Course is called the i.2.i. "improvers to intermediate" and is a direct follow on to the 1-Day Intensive Course for Beginners
Click here to visit the i.2.i. FAQ
Minimum levels for i.2.i.courses:
All participants must be able to :

• Keep the footwork going whilst concentrating on something else.
• Manipulate their FWS to make a range of basic steps.
• Have experienced a range of moves.
• Lead or follow a 'Cross Body Lead' or 'Dile Que No'
• I strongly recommend that a minimum of four hours tuition has been completed prior to the i.2.i. Courses.

Intermediate:
Once you can dance freestyle in a club you naturally become an Intermediate. You’re getting so much practice that a gap opens up between those who freestyle and those who don’t. You’ll still make mistakes, and get frustrated about various things but it’s a nice place to be so well done and enjoy :-)
Advanced:
The quick answer is ... if you’re reading this you’re not! But if you are advanced you’ll know it. You won’t need medals or camera crews, but you’ll be able to look good any time any place anywhere, and most importantly you’ll be able to make anyone you dance with feel great.

Tips:
If you have reached that freestyle salsa level but have had a break from salsa of months / years you are just a rusty intermediate and you should not go back to beginners level. If you are not sure call us or try one of our regular weekly classes and have a chat about your level.

Don’t be overeager to become advanced. (from a man who created Salsa Rapido!) What I mean is enjoy the journey. There’s fun to be had at every level. Those beginners you leave behind in your race to improve may have become your friend for life.

Ride above the cliquedom and politics and give a little back. An advanced dancer who can’t dance with a beginner isn’t advanced.

And finally... If you’re really not sure, call me. I’ve been having this conversation for a loooong time and can usually clarify things for you.

 Am I an Improver | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

An improver has generally completed 6-10 classes (weekly 1 hour) and can consistently keep the footwork sequence going. You will have experienced spins, turns and various combinations but probably have not mastered them or cannot remember them.
Once you can dance free-style in a club you naturally become an Intermediate.
Please note that if you have reached that free-style level but have had a break from salsa of months / years you are just a rusty intermediate and you should not go back to beginners level.
If you are not sure call us or try one of our regular weekly classes and have a chat about your level.

 what to wear & bring | Beginners One Day Intensive Salsa Class

What to bring:
A smile, it's a fun day

Clothing: Comfortable casual clothes, a spare top or t-shirt.
Footwear: Comfortable, smooth soled shoes (I don't recommend heals, flip flops, sticky trainers or anything new!)

What to wear:
Although people usually dress to impress in the salsa clubs, at our classes, comfortable clothing are your priority.
You can get a little hot so a spare top is not a bad idea. I insist on the highest standards of personal hygiene (yes I will say something)
Footwear is important. We recommend smooth soled shoes (Not new trainers) Ladies should wear shoes of the same height as they are used to. Please bear in mind that you may get trodden on (sandals = "Ouch"!!) and you may tread on someone else (stilettos = "*&%$ ?"!!!)
Above all wear shoes that are comfortable, not brand new ones.

Mambalsa Curious?

Mambalsa® Dance Workshop

In Brief:

Are you still dance curious? I hope so because I'd like to invite you to a very special full day event on:

Sunday 20th July 2025

Held at Salsa Soho, London.

10:30 - 4:45pm
Book Now!



I'm looking for up to 30 people for a full day Mambalsa® workshop aimed at those who are interested in the intersection of Dance, Well-Being and Self-Development.
Using Mambalsa® as a platform, there'll be lots of dancing, moves, grooves, laughs and discussion, all wrapped around a heap of psychology.
I'm looking for up to 30 people for a full day workshop aimed at those who are interested in the intersection of Dance, Well-Being and Self-Development.
There'll be lots of dancing, moves, grooves, laughs and discussion, all wrapped around a heap of psychology.


Who's coming:

• Anyone who wishes to explore social dance through this exciting lens and wish to connect with other like minded people.
• Professional Dance, Fitness and Well-being practitioners who wish to enhance their practice.
• Those who are interested in supporting the Mambalsa project and interested in the opportunities it will offer.

Aims:
No doubt we're all aware that dance is fun and great for physiological health, but dance can also be viewed as a well-being / self-development practice.
Whether you wish to nudge your dancing towards well-being / self-development or use the day to boost your dance or therapeutic practice, this unique day is just for you.

Content:
This event will explore four aspects of social partner dance psychology:

• Fun and the psychological systems of pleasure.
• Well-Being: The lifelong benefits of dance. (our primary focus is mental not physiological)
• Self-Development: Building awareness, agency and control of emotional process, and developing empathetic communication.
• 
  Cultural exploration: Through the semantic experience of dance through world music.
• Why is the Psychology Important?

Just by dancing we can achieve much of the well-being benefits of dance, but understanding of the psychology makes change more achievable.

A great example of this is fun. Understanding the psychological systems of fun allows us to have more fun, more intensely and more often! Uncomfortable aspects of learning become more tolerable and motivation is boosted. Fun is just one of several elements of long term well-being. We'll explore how we can bring more fun into dance, busting stress, building mental resilience and developing self-confidence.

The day is led by myself, Alastair Sadler MBACP(Accred). For the past thirty years I've taught and innovated within the UK salsa scene as my full time profession. More recently I've achieved accreditation as a psychotherapist working in private practice.

I’ve spent much of the past few years researching the psychology of social dance and I’m the first to admit we’re only beginning to scratch the surface. What I’ve learnt has profoundly changed the way I teach and I would like to share that research and experience with you.

Together we can connect as a group of like minded people, start a conversation and nudge dance towards being a well-being practice that maintains all the fun, social benefits; plus the physiological benefits (fitness and physical health) and the well-being / self-Development benefits (Confidence, Mental Resilience and Empathetic Communication Skills).

About Mambalsa®:
How many people start to dance only to drop out after a short while? To explore this we need to re-experience dance as a beginner. To put us all on a level playing field I’ll be introducing you to Mambalsa.
Mambalsa is the newest partner dance of the 21st century designed with a host of U.S.P.s.
Mambalsa® is danced as a partner dance (like salsa, tango, jive etc.) but can also be danced in a grid (line dancing), a circle (La Rueda) or as a solo dance. Everyone learns to lead and follow and it’s danced to almost any music. At its heart is an ethos of Fun, Empathetic Communication, Emotional Intelligence and Respect. It’s easy to learn, but full of possibilities to explore!

Outcomes:

• A useful insight into the psychology of social dance plus
• The ‘why’ of social partner dance, it’s social uses and structure.
• The ‘How’ of Mambalsa® (an additional string to your bow)
• A fun day socialising with others of the Dance Curious tribe.

Opportunities:
To start a group conversation about Dance, Well-being and Self Development.
To join the Mambalsa® Project and use Mambalsa® to enhance your dance objectives.
To network others of a similar mindset.

Itinerary:
10:30 - 11:00 Check-in Meet and Greet
11:00 - 1:30 Mambalsa® outline and basics
1:30 - 2:30 lunch (Offer: All main courses half price!)

2:30 - 4:45 Mambalsa® Dynamic Potential

4.45 - onward Socialise (bar open with happy hour)

Location:
Salsa Soho (bar Salsa!), 96 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0JG map link

Cost:

£30 I believe in keeping the price down so it's cheeper than all of my regular Salsa Rapido courses (at the moment!) ... and no, there won't be a sales pitch!
