FAQ
Definitely! We actually recommend starting both at the same time! Learning both Salsa & Bachata will ensure you become an all-round dancers from the get go and you can dance at the Latin parties non-stop. We dance multiple dances ourselves and can help you develop fast in becoming an all round social dancer. Obviously it all depends on ones calendar and personal interest.
Wear something comfortable!
Some people come straight from work and wear their work clothing, others come with other comfortable clothing.
No outdoor shoes are permitted on the dance floor.
Please take indoor shoes with non-marking soles. Optionally you can just dance in socks but this might be slippery.
At some point. once you have decided to continue dancing more, you might want to consider buying shoes specifically for social dancing.
During all group classes at Avec everyone changes partner to improve the learning process.
If you are interested in learning only with your partner we would recommend you to contact us for Private Lessons.
You actually don’t need to go to classes to go to Salsa & Bachata parties! Like any other pub/bar you can just go and meet people in a lively environment.
We recommend students to go to as many parties as possible as soon as possible! This will greatly help develop your dancing faster and get inspired! If you want to check out events that we organise through I Dance Helsinki check out this link
We’ll teach you enough foundations in the first bootcamp to get you started. In the Progressive course during the first 3-4 classes you will already have a foundation to dance comfortably at a party.
But like with anything, it takes time to develop new skills.
If you are not sure yet or want to get a head-start you can book a private lesson with us.
Our private lessons for 1 or 2 persons are:
1 hour – 120€
1.5 hours – 150€
