Lucy Morton is currently ranked 3^rd in Australia for Solo Salsa and started Footluce Salsa earlier this year. Her ladies classes boost wellness, tone both mind and body, and focus on good technique and buildable skills.

Ladies Solo Salsa – Basics 1 (5 weeks) $80

Tuesdays 7.45-8.30pm, 9 Aug to 6 Sept

This course will focus on basic salsa steps, direction changes, and add feminine styling through body and arm-work. Moves are progressively joined so that by the end of the course you will have learned a simple routine. Each class builds on your timing, balance, co-ordination, fluid movement and confidence – and you won’t walk out with your cares still on your mind! No partner required and no prior experience needed. For more information and bookings go to www.footlucesalsa.com or phone Lucy on 0424 618 986.

Group Classes for October 2015

Miriam Combs on September 29, 2015

Group Classes for October 2015

Each group class stays with one idea or style for a month. So, even if the class is focusing on something that’s new to you, we start with the basic movements and techniques then build on those ideas to some more cool and complex combos by the end of the month.

We run small to medium sized group classes (approx. 8-15 people) which are ideal for learning. Just big enough for you to enjoy the social aspect when dancing, but small enough to still receive individual attention from the instructor.

Every group class run at Phoenix Dance Studio is open to all levels, from beginner to advanced. During the class you will usually change partners several times, so that the experienced dancers learn to partner more confidently and the beginners learn more quickly. This means when you go out dancing you are able to dance with anyone you like.

Group Class Timetable

Monday – Argentine Tango – 7pm
Monday – Swing – 7pm
Tuesday – Salsa – 7pm
Wednesday – Viennese Waltz – 7pm
Thursday – Cha Cha Cha – 7pm
Friday – Beginner Salsa & Bachata – 7:00pm
Saturday – Merengue – 11:30am
