OUR BEGINNER COURSES

Class Timetable

Term 2 starts 4 April - 27 May 2024

We run our classes in 5 Terms per year with 8 weeks each. In our classes we gradually progress each week, introducing our students to different elements of the dance and helping them develop movement, musicality and coordination, as well as footwork. As you progress through each week, you will gain more confidence on the dance floor. We look forward to seeing you at one of our classes.

Exciting news! Our beginners classes are currently at full capacity, but don't worry, we'd love to have you join us soon. Just contact us before popping into any sessions, and we'll make sure you're all set to start dancing with us!

  • What Marina and Dmitry say about Salsa Therapy

    We joined Salsa Therapy several years ago and dancing became an important part of our life. We can be very tired from work and house chores, but as soon as we come to the class, the mood improves straight away with the first movement. It takes time to learn new tricky moves, but then you go dancing at the parties or go to the practice and realise that it's one of the greatest joys of our lives. What is unique about Salsa Therapy is that the teachers take time to teach you the techniques of the move which means that it's much easier to learn to lead and follow in partner dancing. The dance community is great as well. We met so many amazing people here and it's a pleasure to dance with them.

  • What Neranga says about Salsa Therapy

    "I wanted to try something outside my comfort zone. Salsa Therapy has been amazing in moulding me into a confident dancer in a variety of styles. The teachers at the school are very friendly and skilled with a wealth of experience behind them. I would highly recommend starting your dancing journey here."

  • What Clarence says about Salsa Therapy

    “When I started classes with Salsa Therapy, I found my extended family and friends. The teachers are friendly and professional. The school practices equality and diversity. Neither posey nor pretentious. The students are also very supportive of each other. Apparently ST is the most technical Latin dance school in Welly.

    If you haven’t experienced Salsa and Bachata, then you must try it. It is fun to learn with ST:).”

  • What Kayla says about Salsa Therapy

    “Salsa therapy has changed my life!

    Dancing is such a fun way to stay active, get out of your comfort zone and try something new. It's how I relax and get away from life's stress. Here is where I made most of my friends when I first moved to Wellington & this is how I met my partner.

    The teachers are so patient and supportive & make it a really fun safe environment. They are always willing to help and give so much of themselves to the school & our progress. Salsa therapy feels like family, and we always welcome new people!”
