Learning to dance shouldn’t feel intimidating.
Many of my clients come to me because they don’t enjoy crowded classes.
They want somewhere calm.
Somewhere they won’t be watched or feel exposed.
Somewhere they can ask questions without feeling self-conscious.
Private lessons remove the pressure and allow you to focus on enjoying the process.
Whether you’re learning on your own or with a partner, we’ll build confidence from the very first lesson.
A different way to learn.
Most beginners are taught choreography.
I teach you how to understand movement.
How to listen to the music.
How to trust yourself.
My goal isn’t simply to teach you Salsa.
It’s to help you become someone who feels comfortable dancing.
That difference changes everything.

Meet Your Teacher
Hi, I’m Shulagh.
For over twelve years I’ve helped complete beginners discover that learning to dance doesn’t have to be embarrassing, overwhelming or intimidating.
I’m also an artist and writer, and my teaching is shaped by a lifelong fascination with creativity, learning and human connection.
If you’ve ever thought,
“I’d love to learn…but I’m worried I’ll look stupid.”
You’re exactly the sort of person I love teaching.
Read My Book
My new book, “How to Learn Salsa Without Feeling Stupid is a game-changer for those who would love to dance but are holding back because they don’t feel like a “natural dancer”.
It blows apart all the usual narratives about no rhythm and no talent by explaining how your brain and body ACTUALLY learn movement to music, revealing why just copying endless routines doesn’t work for an improvised freestyle dance like Salsa.
What if your Salsa struggles weren’t because you are rubbish or a slow learner…but a by-product of the way Salsa is taught in the mainstream?
