Absolutely not! Most of our students start with zero dance experience — that’s exactly what our beginner classes are for. We’ll guide you step by step, starting with the basics, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and actually enjoy yourself instead of worrying about getting it “right.”

And don’t worry — everyone else in the room is learning too, so you’ll be in great company. If you can walk, you can salsa. (And if you can count to eight, you’re basically ahead of the game.) 💃

If you have one, bring them! It's fun together!

If not, no worries at all, everyone who doesn't have their own partner can rotate among the others in the class! (most people come without a partner)

Totally fine! If you come with friends thats great, but if not then it's actually one of the best places to meet new friends!

Comfortable clothing - casual clothes or activewear is fine!

If you have dance shoes, bring those, otherwise, flats or sneakers recommended.

Perfect! We specialize in left-foot conversions. (Results may vary, but fun is guaranteed.)

Usually within a few classes you’ll be able to get out on the floor and not just survive — actually enjoy it. Confidence builds quickly here.

Yes please! Spots fill up quickly and we cap class sizes to keep things comfy. You can book your free class right here: www.thesalsafoundation.com.au/freesalsa

You can join our beginner course to keep the fun rolling! Each level builds on the last — kind of like leveling up in a video game, but with more hip movement.

We have a full roadmap from absolute beginner all the way up to instructor-level dancer (if you catch the bug — and you will).

Everyone! Young professionals, students, couples, solo adventurers — all here for the same reason: to have fun, meet people, and learn to dance.

As an adult level class you need to be 18+ or 16+ if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The average age is between 21-45 years old but we do have older students too!

Absolutely. Our instructors are pros at making nervous newcomers feel at home — we were all there once.

You can, but fair warning: after five minutes, your feet will start tapping and you’ll wish you’d joined in.

Salsa and Bachata are our main jams — both super fun, social, and easy to start.

We’re right in the heart of Melbourne — super easy to find!

🚆 By train: Hop off at Southern Cross Station — we’re just a few minutes’ walk away.

🚗 By car: Street parking is metered, but we’ve got two great options nearby:

Across the road: Secure parking for around $10 on weeknights.

Two blocks away: Parking for $6 on weeknights with our discount code (we’ll send you the details after booking).

🚶 By foot: If you can dance, you can definitely walk here.

Pro tip: Arrive a few minutes early to grab parking, meet a few friendly faces, and get warmed up for class!

We welcome everyone — but not everything. This class isn’t for you if:

❌ You’ve misplaced your sense of humor. (Seriously, it’s salsa, not a board meeting.)

❌ You’re just here to pick up dates instead of dance moves. Wrong kind of rhythm, my friend.

❌ You can’t handle people laughing, learning, and not taking themselves too seriously.

❌ You’re a Karen or are easily offended. Enough said. 😄 (if your actual name IS Karen but you're chill and fun, apologies, please come!)

At TSF, we’re all about fun, respect, and good vibes. If you’re here to learn, meet great people, and laugh along the way — you’re our kind of human.
