Reviews of SalsaOxford
L. Q.My partner surprised me with a personal beginners class for Valentine's day. I can't recommend Lisa and Mark enough! Not only did we have fun during our lesson, but felt we gained a lot in such a short amount of time. They're very talented and inspiring. Anyone who's new to dance, I highly recommend giving their classes a go.
T. P.A good club for both beginners and more advanced salsa classes. Meetings are usually 8pm every Wednesday at the Old Fire Station (downstairs) on George Street. Also occasionally upstairs or at the Wesley Memorial Church hall.
Sessions run 8pm - 9pm with both beginners and more advanced.
Beginners are anyone who cannot do a Cross Body Open (if you don't know what that is: you are a beginner! ;) )
Advanced is held at the same time and is more complicated combinations of the basic steps.
9pm - 10pm There is an advanced-only class, which anyone can stay for.
Mark and Lisa also offer private lessons in Kidlington (useful for improving skills) and there are Salsa nights they run every month or so at either the Deaf and Hard of Hearing centre near Westgate, or the Jericho Tavern (useful for putting the moves into practice).
I've never been good at dancing or sports but found the lessons encouraging and the coaching useful. If you arrive early, the warm-ups really help, and most people seem patient with the difficult art of "getting" the steps.
The only suggestion I have is that there is limited scope for socialising. It would be really good if after the advanced classes there was an agreed venue to go to. Many salsa clubs do this and, alongside the party nights, it would really help to get to know people a little better.
That said, I found there is a rounded experience to be had - whether it's just learning the steps for fun, or stretching your abilities.
Oh, and I haven't been for a few months owing to other commitments. However the thrill of Cuban Fury is the highlight of a working week and the feeling of carefree grace (after a long day in the office) lingers as a pleasant memory.
V.Lisa and Mark are great dance teachers. Very friendly.
M. S.What a lovely night.
