Taught by Bo and assisted by Linda

Former salsa learners! If you wish to refresh your dance skills or to strengthen your basic knowledge, you can repeat the last course you have taken paying only half the course fee.

In the first two months of 1998 alone there are 110 persons at our courses, 89 of them beginners. There is certainly a growing interest for Salsa. We have 21 intermediate learners who are very dedicated and they move on so fast that actually they are receiving advance instructions. We'll see more and more good dancers on the floor! The dance courses are organised and taught by Bo, who has danced with professional Cuban dancers and has taught, performed and DJed in several European countries before returning to HK to kick-start the Salsa scene here about one year ago. The teaching is precise and intense, aimed at cementing a solid basic dance skill so as to dance with fluidity, spontaneity and feeling and to have the ability to improvise. In the dance courses Bo is often assisted by other advanced and/or native dancers from the group of Salsa lovers whose aim is to spread Salsa in HK, and we receive full support from the Hispanic and Latin American community, represented by Nuestra Gente-the Hispanic Foundation of Hong Kong, and the Latin American Women's Association. Our sponsors reward each student with a pleasant surprise at the end of each course. With the belief that Latin culture-and Salsa-should be accessible to everyone and that all things good and authentic should be shared, the fee for our dance courses are set at the half of the minimum fee per hour commonly charged in HK, and there is no discrimination against women by charging men only half price-indeed everyone is paying half price at our courses.
