Experiences

At elSol spring we don’t have a basic course. We assume our participants know their basics and levels start from improver to intermediate and advanced.

No, we only sell weekend packages called PASSES. Check our PASS LIST  To see your options.

No, teachers manage classes in a way where you partner up with someone you don’t know and then there is a rotation, a change of partners managed by the teacher. This is how you get to know people and get dance partners.

Yes you can, you just need to mention it to the teacher because he will make people change partners

Yes you can, everybody dances with everybody. Men follow and women also lead.

Yes. Friday – flower power, prints, patterns, happy spring, Saturday: dress to impress in brand colors – green and orange/yellow, Sunday – be yourself

Teachers usually start with a warm up to avoid injuries. Then in a solo class they build up a routine slowly and you work on it throughout the hour. If it is a partnerwork class, a teacher can make you dance in a couple for 3 mins to check the level and then they start to teach a partnerwork routine. They will make you change partners several times during the class.

During workshops, it is possible to record footage only at the end and only with the express permission of the lead instructor. Additional possibility of recording is available to accredited journalistic teams with proper permission.During events, filming of demonstrations or social dancing on the dance floor is not prohibited as long as it doesn’t interfere with the party. It is forbidden to bring additional lighting or commercial banners.
