FAQ for beginners
Do I need dance experience to start?
No! Our beginner classes are specially designed for people without any dance experience. You will learn everything from the basics, step by step.
Do I need a partner to join?
No! You can also register on your own. We rotate during the class.
What is the difference between a try-out and a Full course?
A try-out is a one-off 1.5-hour class where you will be introduced to the style, teachers and atmosphere.
With us, a full course consists of 8 weeks, 1.5 hours of lessons. Each week on the same day and time.
So do you want to be sure of your spot? Then it is wise to book a full course right away.
On what days and times are the classes?
Our beginner classes take place weekly on a fixed day, time and location. See our timetable for all current times and locations for lvl 1.
What does a Try-out or Full course cost?
For information on prices and packages, check out our Prices page.
What should I bring or put on?
Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely and shoes with smooth soles are perfect. Also bring a bottle of water.
Can I join later even if the season has already started?
Boarding is possible during the first week of the new season. Sometimes this is also possible in the second week, provided there is space. Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Is there a waiting list if the class is full?
Is a group full? Then you will automatically be placed on the waiting list. Don't worry, it's rare that no place becomes available at all. At Salsa District, we work with a balance system between leaders and followers, ensuring balanced groups every season.
Are you on the waiting list? You will be notified automatically as soon as a place becomes available. Do not wait too long to respond: we apply the 'first come, first served' principle. Do you have any questions or would you like to discuss things? Feel free to send us a WhatsApp message or give us a call. We are happy to think along with you.
PS: Sometimes there is also a second Level 1 group. It is then useful to see if you can register for that one, provided it fits your schedule.
