Your salsa dancing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much are salsa dance lessons?

The cost of salsa dance lessons can vary based on different factors like the location, studio or instructor, lesson format, and available packages. Typically, group classes range from $15 to $30 per session,while private lessons can cost between $50 and $100. Some studios may have special introductory offers or workshops at reduced rates.

For accurate pricing details, it is recommended to directly contact local dance studios or instructors who can also inform you about any ongoing promotions.

What should I wear to salsa dance lessons?

When it comes to attire for salsa dance lessons, prioritize comfort and flexibility. Opt for loose clothing that allows easy movement, such as leggings or yoga pants for women and comfortable pants or shorts for men. Avoid wearing restrictive garments like jeans that may hinder your movements or cause inconvenience to your dance partner.

For footwear, select comfortable closed-toe shoes with good ankle support. Leather-soled shoes are ideal for smooth dancing, but clean sneakers can also suffice initially. Steer clear of open-toed or high-heeled shoes as they can pose risks during dancing.

Where can I take salsa dancing lessons?

If you are looking to enroll in salsa dancing lessons, there are various options available:

  • Dance Studios: These establishments offer salsa classes catering to all skill levels and provide a structured learning environment along with the chance to interact with fellow dancers.
  • Community or Recreation Centers: Sometimes these centers include salsa classes in their fitness or arts programs at more affordable rates compared to dance studios.
  • Private Instructors: Private instructors can be found through platforms like Lessons.com or via recommendations. This option offers personalized guidance and is suitable for individuals seeking individualized attention or those who prefer a more private learning setting.
  • Online Resources: While not a replacement for in-person classes, online tutorials and video lessons can complement your learning process or serve as an initial step if attending physical classes is not feasible.

What questions should I ask a salsa instructor?

Before committing to salsa lessons, it is advisable to ask potential instructors certain questions to ensure they align with your needs:

  • What is your experience in teaching salsa dance and at what proficiency levels?
  • What teaching approach do you follow? Do you emphasize technique, improvisation, or social dancing?
  • How large are your classes typically and what is the class structure?
  • Do you offer classes for beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners?
  • What is your policy regarding cancellations for private or group lessons?
  • Are there any prerequisites for joining your classes such as prior dance experience?

How do I choose a salsa instructor?

When selecting a salsa instructor, consider these recommendations to improve your chances of finding an instructor who suits your dance goals:

  • Choose an instructor with experience teaching salsa at the level you desire and look for certifications from reputable dance organizations.
  • Select an instructor whose teaching style matches your learning preferences.
  • Evaluate their personality and communication style during an initial consultation or trial class.
  • Read reviews on platforms like Lessons.com and Google or seek recommendations from friends who have taken salsa lessons.
  • Pick a studio that is convenient to your location and has classes that fit your schedule and budget.

Reviews for Newark salsa dance lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Newark area.
Michael W.
Monika is very talented in overall teaching and coaching of students in various dance routines and moves. Initially I did not really catch onto dancing but have now taken a good interest in dances that I would not have done before. She is well versed and knows how to bring together a class, but at the same time give individual attention to each and everyone of her students. Monika knows and sees all so can’t just go through the motions. She seriously wants to make one a better dancer and makes the classes fun whether it’s group or private. Great instructor all around.

I’ve been attending the group classes and receiving private lessons at Arete since December of 2016 and I’ve been very happy. The group classes have been very delightful! Those who attend are super friendly and the instructors are very welcoming and professional; they make walking through the doors and taking the classes a very pleasant and fun experience. The dancing is equally as enjoyable as the people, the instructor’s knowledge and passion for dance comes through with the techniques and patterns that are taught in class; and in short time had me dancing outside of class. On top of the group classes I take private Ballroom and Latin lessons. The lessons have been invaluable in my pursuit in becoming a better and more confident dancer. The instructors dive into the techniques and patterns learned in class along with ones they don’t go over in class. My timing, footwork, frame and even the character of my dancing has improved dramatically in the short time I’ve been taking private lessons. Oh, and as icing on the cake on Friday night’s they have a social dancing event where the first hour is spent which will add spice to the dances taught in the group classes. Overall, I would recommend Arete to anyone who wants to learn to dance socially in a fun and friendly environment and to those who want to take their dancing beyond just social.

It was great how passionate and excited the trainers were and their dedication to help you reach your goals. I trained for 3 months and it was totally worth it. I was even able to do some cool outdoor workouts with my trainer just to mix things up and when the weather was nice.

Kim is absolutely amazing in so many ways! She genuinely cares about all of the students/casts that she works with/directs/teaches and truly takes the time to help them grow and develop to get to the next level. She is also a magnificent actress herself and a wonderful mentor. I feel truly blessed to have gotten the chance to work with her on a number of projects and would recommend her without question to anyone looking for someone to guide them in the right direction. Her brilliance and creativity is truly remarkable!!

They make sure they don't just teach you the dance techniques, but also the culture and meaning behind the dances and movements. In addition, they stress the importance of supporting each other and working as a group/team :)
