Beginner Line Salsa Classes Dublin

Line Salsa, also called LA Style or On1 Salsa, is danced in a straight slot. The leader and follower move forward and back along an imaginary line, with sharp turns and clean styling.

The teacher breaks down the basic step and timing, then introduces the cross-body lead. You rotate partners throughout the class, so you are never left standing alone.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Smooth-soled shoes or dance shoes help with turns and sliding steps. Grippy trainers make spinning harder, so leave them at home.

No. Every class rotates partners, so you dance with different people throughout the lesson. Most students come on their own, and it is the fastest way to meet the group.

Line Salsa moves in a straight slot with sharp turns and structured footwork. Cuban Salsa moves in a circle with more improvisation. Dublin Salsa Academy teaches both styles.

Classes run at the Harbourmaster, Custom House Quay, IFSC, Dublin 1, D01 W0X8. Luas, DART and bus stops are close by, and there are free and paid parking options nearby.
