Sunday, December 3: Couple Salsa Beginners’ Course

Have you always wanted to learn to dance couple salsa? This intensive course starts from the very basics, so you do not need any prior knowledge about salsa dancing. The course is instructed by Anna Tolppa who is always willing to teach in English when there are people who do not speak Finnish. Start a new great hobby and come and have fun with us!

During the course, you will get familiar with the basic steps of couple salsa and we will practice rhythmics, some simple figures as well as techniques of both leading and following.

Time: Sunday, December 3 from 1pm to 3pm
Place: Dance Studio Flama, Linnankatu 84
Price: 25 / 20 € (students, seniors)

Register for the course by sending an email to info@flama.fi.

You can sign up for the course with or without a pair. The principle of the class is to change the pair all the time, so that everyone gets to dance. However, if you want to dance only with your own pair, that is also possible. Just let the instructor know about this in the beginning of the course. And yes, you don’t need to have had any previous dance experience prior to this course.

Welcome to have fun and to learn some basics of couple salsa!
