Let’s get you started

Your journey is unique.
Which of the below speaks to you?

  • Awesome! Even if you have taken On1 classes for sometime, we recommend starting at the beginning to master the timing and understand the differences between the two styles. So you can become a confident On2 dancer we recommend choosing our On1-On2 Transition Course, Beginners Salsa Classes or taking a Private Lesson.

    If you can’t find what you’re looking for just email us and we will help you hello@lec.dance

  • Congratulations on taking the first step on learning to dance! It takes a lot of courage and you’ve made the first step. Let’s get you started right away. The best options would be joining one of our small, friendly beginner Salsa or Bachata classes (Monday, Wednesday or Thursday’s), or an upcoming Intro to Latin Dance Program on Saturday’s. You do not need experience or a partner. Start any time!

    Check out the timetable, choose from casual attendance or a class pack and book your place in a class today!
We can’t wait to welcome you (and yes, it is normal to feel nervous!)

    Alternatively, if you’re quite uncomfortable with the thought of group classes, try a private lesson first, where we can build your confidence before entering our weekly classes.

  • As a dedicated dancer you realise the need for diligent training and focus on your technique to improve. You also know that it’s hard to get that sort of personal attention in large class sizes.

    As a start we recommend coming to one of our Accelerated 6 Week Programs, or taking a Private Lesson where we can discuss your focus areas and be placed into the appropriate classes.

    As we teach On2 salsa you are welcome to join our beginner level classes at any time where we can also help guide you into where you might feel most comfortable. This is to ensure you understand On2 timing and the differences in the styles.

    We also run regular On1-On2 transition courses if you’re curious about On2. Check out the timetable.

  • Please thank those people for us! And tell us who they were when you sign up!

    We have a few options for you, our Accelerated 6 Week Programs are perfect for On1 or On2 dancers looking to refine their technique and have some dedicated focus areas.

    You can join our entry level classes at any time (but even if you have experience in On1 it’s best to start at the beginning for a short time, as all our weekly timetable Salsa classes are On2.)

    If you feel the need for a faster route and want to fast-track we recommend taking a Private Lesson where we can discuss your focus areas and be place you into the appropriate classes for your level.

    Finally we run regular On1-On2 Salsa transition courses, so if you’re curious about On2 this is a deep dive focus on how to go from On1 to On2. Check out the timetable.
