Salsa is not only joy and relaxation, but also enthusiasm and seduction. The origins of Salsa lie in Latin America in many different dances, which have evolved over time mixed with today's Salsa. Salsa is a ballroom dance that can be danced in pairs or in a group. Our salsa courses take place in German, English and Spanish. Regarding content it concerns foot technique and figure combinations of the Salsa, Bachata & Merengue music.

She also encourages men, "Men have more body feeling after this course and they can better establish contact with women."
