Suavemente Salsa

Fernando and his team of instructors give courses in Salsa and Samba from beginners to intermediate and then have some drop-​in classes for higher levels too. Classes are held during the week in Temple Bar and on Sunday nights in the Odeon along with a salsa club.
There are a couple of things that are really great about these classes. First one is that women don’t dance as men, so even if you sign up to class with the girls one of you won’t have to feign a deep voice and manly demeanor. You rotate around the class so you dance with different partners so that you don’t get too used to picking up other people’s mistakes and idiosyncrasies. Usually there’s a good bit of craic in the courses and you get used to the group soon enough as you all nearly fall over at some point.
Another stand out thing about these instructors in that you learn a lot. Over my time here I covered all that I learned of salsa from previous courses in one lesson. The instructors judge the level each week to practice what you have learned and give you a bit of a challenge. They really know they’re stuff and after a while you’ll be salsaing your way everywhere!
Classes are reasonably priced too with a 6 class course for 50 euro or 10 a class for drop in.
