If you have any questions about Purple Salsa, they might be answered below - if not, please do get in touch!
  • Do I need to book?
    • There's no need to book, but just let us know if you are thinking of coming along so that we know to expect you - you will be made most welcome!

  • What shoes should I wear?
    • Any comfortable shoes are fine for the first few weeks - just don't wear flip flops, or other shoes that might fall off! Turning is more difficult in rubber-soled shoes, but that won't matter when you first start, so even trainers are ok. Stilletto-type heels aren't much fun, but a bit of a heel is ok!

  • What about clothes - what do people usually wear?
    • Anything and everything is the simple answer! Some people like to dress up a bit with a dress/smart trousers and a fancy top, others turn up in their jeans. We're more the jeans-types ourselves, but even we make an effort occasionally! As long as you are reasonably cool and comfy, anything will do.

  • Is there a bar at the venue?
    • No, we ask people to please bring their own drinks - you will need something as we all get very warm and thirsty when we're dancing!

  • Do I have to come every week?
    • No - the classes are self-contained each week, meaning that you can miss a week and still slot back into it all again. Having said that, if you only turn up very occasionally, it will take a long time to develop your dancing skills!

  • I've never done any dancing before - is there a class for me?
    • We can accommodate new beginners (and our Wednesday crowd will make you very welcome!), but we just need to know in advance to expect you, and we may offer you one or two sessions on another night just to make sure you don't feel overwhelmed when you come along to the group sessions.

  • When do the classes start?
    • The class starts at 7.15pm - we do try to be reasonably prompt with our start times, so make sure you leave enough time to get there!

  • What time should I arrive?
    • You'll need to arrive about 10 minutes before the class starts.

  • Can I come on my own - or do I need to bring a partner?
    • You can definitely come on your own - we always move round partners in the classes.

  • What's the age range - will I be the oldest/youngest?
    • Variously, we have people between the ages of (approximately - we haven't asked!!) 10 and 70ish. Salsa seems to appeal to people of all ages! If you are hoping to come along with younger people (under 14s), please just give us a call first (0118 977 5167) to talk about how the evening works, as it may not be right for all young people.

  • What style of salsa do you teach?
    • Our Wednesday classes are cross body style and 'on 1'.
