New to Salsa? Baza's Get To Know (GTK) 2-hour Intro to Salsa workshop is perfect for you!

NEXT GTK Salsa: Saturday, Mar 1, 12:30 - 2:30pm

Our GTK sessions are a chance for you to Get To Know the dance, Get To Know our lovely instructors and Get To Know Baza and the amazing vibes here!

These special Intro drop-in lessons are catered to Absolute Beginners. We know starting on your dance journey can be a bit scary at first or intimidating, which is why these sessions are a perfect place to start. The pace will be nice and slow, allowing you to wet your feet in the dance without feeling too overwhelmed. You will learn the very basics of the dance which will allow you to feel more confident heading into our Level 1 classes. Most of our students are here to have fun, mingle and get into Social dancing in this amazing community!

No experience is necessary! These 2-hour bootcamps are catered for those new to latin social dancing, and perfect for beginner dancers who wish to have a solid refresher on the basics.

Open to all dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels, signing up with a partner is not requred as leads and follows will rotate (change partners) throughout the workshop.

Cost: $45 + GST per person per 2-hour bootcamp

FAQs:

Do I need to pre-register? Yes, it's always a good idea to pre-register!

Do I need to sign up with a partner? You do not need to sign up with a partner! It is very common for folks to sign up for partner dance classes as individuals. While traditionally males are leads and females are follows, we are open to individuals making their choice when coming to learn with us. We just ask you that whether you choose to be a lead or a follow that you stick with that role until you are very experience dancer.

If I have a partner can we sign up together? Each person has to sign up individually - if you want to pay for two people please email us at dance@bazadance.com to get that set up properly for you.

How long is each bootcamp workshop? 2 hours, from 12:30-2:30pm.

What will I learn? Students will learn the fundaments of either Salsa or Bachata - the instructor will focus on the foundation figures as well as cover fundamental theory behind lead and follow. Please note that due to the drop-in nature of the GTK classes that the material may be the same from week to week, these lessons are meant to be an introduction to each dance style, they are not meant to be progressive or cumulative. If you want something more technical and progressive, please consider registering for our weekly Intro progressive connected dance courses.

If I attend the workshop only once am I ready for the Intro course? GTK workshops are designed to prepare students to enter the Intro course right away, but if you're feeling not-quite-ready there is nothing stopping you from taking a GTK lesson more than once.

How often do GTK lessons take place? Currently each GTK Bootcamp takes place every 8 weeks.

What do I wear? We encourage all students to dress as comfortably as possible! If the weather is bad please make sure you bring clean indoor shoes to change into - we do not allow outdoor shoes on our dance floors! We recommend dressing in layers as we keep the studios cool (on purpose) and it *will* get warm once you start dancing!

What is your cancellation policy? GTK workshops are non refundable. Obviously life can throw us curveballs, so if you are not able to attend a lesson you've registered for due to extenuating circumstances please let us know by emailing us at dance@bazadance.com and we'll be happy to help you out!
