COVID-19 Dance Protocol
Due to the current situation around Corona, we must observe a number of rules, both for the Open Classes and the dance lessons:
- You must register in advance for a trial lesson. Couples must also BOTH register
- We cannot admit people who have not registered online for the (trial) lesson (s) to the dance school.
- No one is admitted as a public. So you are only welcome to dance.
- At the time of participation in the class you declare that you are in good health and that you do not suffer from Corona-related complaints such as headache, sore throat, fever, etc.
- If you have been on holiday in a country or area with code Orange / Red in the past 10 days, or if you have doubts about whether you may be infected with the Corona virus in your own environment, you may not participate in the lessons.
- A maximum of 15 couples are allowed per dance class. There is no change of dance partner per evening. If you don't have a dance partner yourself, you can still sign up and we will assign you to someone else who doesn't have a dance partner either!
Costs
Courses consist of a series of lessons of 60 minutes and cost 10 euros per lesson. A course is settled as a package and paid in advance and in one go. For example 100 euros for a course of 10 lessons. This excludes any possible student discount*. In consultation with us, a single lesson is also possible for €12 per lesson.
* Student discount 10% for full courses upon presentation of valid proof of registration from an educational institution for the current academic year.
Subscription
If you are a beginner it is recommended to start at the beginning of a course. In order to guarantee your spot, it is advised to register prior to the start of the course as we have limited spots due to COVID-19. You can sent an email or app to receive a payment request. Or you can register after first lesson of the course, during the Open Days, where (cash) payments take place at the venue.
Structure classes & dance styles
Each lesson starts with a relaxed and rhythmic warming up in which you get to know different (Afro) Cuban rhythms like Son, Rumba, Pilon, Chachacha, etc. Then you learn in pairs to apply the basic figures and rhythms in the dance. Thereby the pleasure in dancing is the most important. You do not have to bring a partner! At the beginners class, you will learn the basic steps and rhythms of the Cuban salsa. In the advanced class, you get to know more difficult rhythms, dance steps and elaborate figures on faster music. Improvisation, creativity and smoother exercise play a major role during these lessons. You also learn the 'Rueda de Casino' (dancing in a circle), where you change partners after each figure and that gives you a lot of dancing fun!
Attendance
Students who are unexpectedly unable to attend a lesson, for example due to illness, must cancel no later than 24 hours in advance. Only then do we offer the opportunity, in consultation with us and with sufficient availability of dance partners, to make up for missed lessons during the current lesson block.
