Level Explanations / Guidelines :
These are only guidelines. If you’re unsure, I encourage you to contact me directly to find the best class for you. If you want to be 100% sure that you’ll be in the right class, send me a short video of your dancing.
I offer four levels of classes. The only level that follows a specific curriculum is the beginner course. The Improver, Intermediate and Advance classes are DIFFERENT every semester. That means you can basically repeat Improver, Intermediate or Advanced courses forever and never see the same move (or combination of moves) twice.
When you sign up yourself for a class, you’re making a statement about your skills. When you sign up for the advanced classes, for example, you’re saying: I already know everything that David would teach dancers in the first 2 years of practice, so I can skip all of that. When you sign up for improvers and have taken classes in another school, you’re suggesting that you have learned everything that I would teach you in 16 weeks.
Unless you’re a very fast learner (a trained dancer of other styles, for example), you shouldn’t go to the advanced level before you’ve taken at least 2,5 years of classes with me (or a teacher with equivalent levels).
Here are detailed explanations of the different levels:
Beginner: For you who new to Salsa or has taken classes before but needs to master the basic. Also for you who has taken classes in another school for about 6-12 months. Note that the tempo (=learning speed) in my beginner classes is about double from many other beginner classes). About 90% partner figures and 10% solo movement.
Improver: For you who have completed my beginner course or you who is a very quick learner (!) and have completed a beginner course elsewhere. About 80% partner figures and 20% solo movement. Improver courses have different combinations/figures every semester, so you can easily repeat this level forever and always learn something new.
Intermediate: For you who has danced with me for at least 1-2 years or 3+ years elsewhere. You can safely stick to the rhythm. Double spins for followers. About 70% partner figures and 30% solo movement. Intermediate courses have different combinations/figures every semester, so you can easily repeat this level forever and always learn something new.
Advanced: For you who has danced with me for at least 3 years (or 5+ years elsewhere). This is the highest level I teach. When you sign up for the advanced class, you should be very confident in your abilities as a dancer as there is no higher level. I’ll be teaching you movements that I am currently learning myself. Technical focus with double or triple spins for followers. Fast & complex Cuban Salsa music is played in class. Long combinations where not much time will be spend on explaining basic leading and following. About 50% partner figures and 50% solo movement. Advanced courses have different combinations/figures every semester, so you can easily repeat this level forever and always learn something new.
