Why learn New York Salsa?

Got two left feet? Perfect, that's exactly who this course is for. Salsa is one of the best ways to warm up your week, meet new people in Brisbane and finally have somewhere that isn't a screen to spend a weeknight.

New York style (sometimes called Salsa On2) is the smooth, musical version of salsa you'll hear at every club, wedding and social around the world. Learn the basics here and you can dance anywhere.

Why LocoMojo

  • Built for complete beginners. Most students walk in with zero experience. We start from the basics and build up week by week.
  • No partner required. We rotate partners throughout class so everyone dances with everyone. Singles and couples both welcome.
  • Small, friendly classes. Big enough to feel like a community, small enough that we know your name by week two.
  • NY style, taught properly. The most popular salsa style worldwide. Same musical timing you'll hear at any social, anywhere.

Before you book

Do we both need dance experience?
No. Intro is for complete beginners. We start from the basics and build over five weeks.
Do we have to dance only with each other?
No. Class still rotates partners so you both learn faster. You just enrol and pay together.
What is meant by leader and follower?
The leader initiates movements and guides the follower. The follower responds and adds styling. Both roles matter. Traditionally men lead and women follow, but anyone can pick either.
What is New York Salsa?
New York Salsa (also called Salsa On2 or Mambo) is a smooth, elegant style of salsa that originated in New York City. It's danced "on 2" meaning the break step happens on beat 2, giving it a more musical, sophisticated feel compared to other salsa styles.
Can we do both nights?
This booking is one partnerwork night: Tuesday or Thursday in Milton, or Monday in Newstead. For both nights, use the usual intro page or the group deal.
What should we wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Avoid restrictive jeans or short skirts. For shoes, wear smooth-soled shoes and avoid rubber soles or anything with grip like joggers or running shoes. No open-toed shoes for safety.
How long is each class?
Each class is 45 minutes. The course runs for 5 consecutive weeks on the same day each week. There's also 15 minutes of social dance time between classes.
