FAQ

  • What is On2 Salsa, and how is it different from other styles?
    On2 Salsa, also known as New York Style Salsa, emphasizes dancing to the second beat of the music. It offers a unique flavor and smoother style compared to On1.
  • Who are the classes designed for?
    Our classes are designed for intermediate and advanced On 2 dancers who already have a solid foundation in salsa and are looking to refine their technique, musicality, and partnerwork skills. For those who are transitioning from other styles or with less experience, we recommend starting with the Master Your Mambo course to build a solid foundation before progressing to the intermediate shines and partnerwork courses.
  • Where are your classes held?
    We are based at Empire Studios in Grey Lynn, Auckland, centrally located for easy access. There is ample street parking available in the surrounding streets.
  • Do I need a partner to join?
    For our partnerwork classes, no partner is required. We rotate partners during the class to ensure everyone gets a chance to practice with different dancers.
  • What should I wear?
    Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Dance shoes or shoes with smooth soles are recommended for better turns and footwork.
  • Do you offer private lessons?
    We do offer private lessons, get in touch with us to discuss how we can work together to help you achieve your dance goals.
  • Can you help me with competition / choreography?
    We do offer competition coaching as well as choreographing services. Get in touch with us to discuss how we can help and pricing. We recommend starting earlier in the year to have enough time to practice and to ensure we have enough capacity to help.
  • What do you offer that is different from other schools?
    We mainly focus on intermediate and advanced level On 2 dancers. There are a number of suitable schools in Auckland for beginner salsa dancers.

We are also experienced competitors at the professional level and can help those who want to progress into competing.
