We will try here to describe the dancing levels held at the festival. Please make sure that you choose correct level for yourself. This is very important for you and the other people on the class. If you choose higher level of yours you will probably not be able to follow with the rest of the class. You will probably loose the point of the class and the partners dancing with you will not be able to follow the class.

BEGINNERS

Total beginners or people that have taken just few classes of salsa in any style. We welcome you very much! Salsa is for everyone and welcomes everybody!

IMPROVERS

You have taken salsa classes for few months up to a year. You are confident with a basic step, are doing simple combinations and have limited (or none) body movement and styling. Ladies are able to follow simpler combinations. Both partners have understanding of the rhythm and music.

INTERMEDIATE

You have a good understanding of the dance & music and are gaining a greater capacity to move from one pattern to the next. MEN: You're also able to execute more turns, hand changes & directional changes with better balance and more styling. LADIES: You should be able to follow complex turn patterns comfortably and have the ability to demonstrate some interpretative footwork and body styling. You should be tackling double spins with increasing confidence.

ADVANCED

You've gained control of your body balance, timing & footwork and are able to move quickly from one pattern to the next. MEN: You have the capacity to remember & lead a series of moves with continuity & styling. LADIES: Multiple turns, spins & ducks are no problem for you. Intricate footwork is challenging, but fun for you.
