Feel Like You’re Actually Dancing in Just Eight Hours

Sofa To Salsa is an eight hour progressive Salsa course for absolute beginners.

It’s private, premium and professional.

Not a group course or a drop-in class.

You won’t be sharing the space – or my attention – with an unlimited number of random strangers.

Instead you’ll be enjoying my full focus without feeling foolish or exposed.

You won’t be memorising and copying long routines, but learning a vocabulary of moves, skills and techniques that will enable you to dance Salsa the way it was meant to be:

Not over-rehearsed or robotic,

Not on auto-pilot,

But improvised to the music in real time with that near-telepathic connection you’ve always dreamed of.

It guarantees that you won’t be awkwardly shuffling for months on end – you’ll actually be dancing and feeling comfortable within the first couple of sessions.

Why Many Beginner Classes Don’t Build Confidence

Most Salsa classes cram lots of steps and moves into long chronological sequences which you are expected to remember by rote.

It becomes more of a memory test than a vehicle to develop smooth body mechanics and movement mastery.

This creates pressure which feels more like stress than fun. 

New beginners join every week which means the class can’t be truly progressive.

And that’s not all:

In most mainstream Salsa classes, complete beginners are expected to partner each other within minutes of starting their first class and this is a recipe for disaster.

Because neither will have the balance, coordination or timing to give this the slightest chance of success.

What follows very often is carnage… and not likely to build confidence in your own ability, or trust in your partner. It simply reinforces those false stories that may already be ingrained such as:

• “I have no rhythm”

• “I’m not a natural dancer”

• “I wasn’t meant to do this”

• “I’m never going to be any good”

The net result is that far too many people give up in the first few weeks before they’ve really given themselves – or Salsa – a fair chance.

And for those who do stick with it, it can take many months – if not years – to truly feel comfortable and look good whilst dancing.

A Different Approach With More Depth and Detail

My unique, proven “Inner Rhythm” method helps you to build confidence by working in harmony with the way your brain and body naturally learn movement, and removing the “stress triggers” that lead to brain freeze, panic and paralysing self-doubt.

Left to its own devices and without being put under pressure to “perform” or “get it right first time”, your brain LOVES rhythm and will lock onto it easily – but only if stress levels are low.

Unfortunately the environment in some mainstream group classes creates a level of overwhelm which INCREASES brain overload and CREATES stress…especially for more introverted and self-conscious types of people.

This is why there are many advantages to learning Salsa in a one-on-one environment.

A Method Which Actually Works

I arrived at this formula after many years of experience teaching movement to people who felt inhibited about moving to music.

People who wholeheartedly believed they had no rhythm or coordination.

I wanted to create what I believed was THE BEST POSSIBLE ROUTE…the fastest, easiest, most thorough, and most enjoyable introduction to Salsa.

One of the things that people kept telling me over and over was that they struggled most with the long pre-choreographed routines.

They couldn’t remember moves from one week to the next, and even if they could, it all fell flat when they tried to reproduce it with a partner.

And this is magnified even more for beginners, whose attention spans, stamina and muscular endurance were not well developed.

Your Partner Dancing Will Only Ever Be As Good As Your Solo Skills

Most novice dancers struggle because they don’t have enough control over their own balance and weight transfer.

Add a partner into the mix and suddenly you have an additional external force to deal with which can pull you off balance and disrupt your movement flow.

I realised that it was more effective to teach technical, musical and individual movement skills FIRST, and then apply them to partner moves and combinations.

Every class is divided into three sections which will take you on a journey through all the moves, steps and skills you need to progress naturally and organically without pressure.

Each section will give you an essential piece of the puzzle, presented in an easy to digest bite-sized chunk.

Included as part of the package you’ll get access to my online platform with a ton of resources – videos, PDFs, music playlists and more available for the duration and for one month after the course finishes so you can practice at home and continue developing your skills.

Who Is Sofa to Salsa For?

Typically my clients are senior professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs who are looking for a cohesive and curated approach which actually delivers.

High achieving individuals who want to become more embodied, expressive and creative.

Couples who want to experience deeper connection within their relationship.

This particular programme is for you if you are completely new to dance, or if you have taken a few classes previously and now want to get serious.

Who Is It NOT For?

I don’t work with:

Dabblers who want to dip in and out

Those who have already over committed their time and energy

Those who prioritise the social side of Salsa over and above the personal transformation.

Those who favour flashy moves over true connection.

What Does it Cost?

This course is designed to actually deliver – not keep you locked in a never-ending cycle of going to class week after week not really knowing if you are getting any better.

For that reason it’s priced to ensure that you are actually committed to work with me towards that result:

To practice in between and keep showing up.

Payment terms are simple:

Either pay in full or pay a deposit followed by a second balance payment at the halfway point.
