In order to advance to the next level, the instructor must test your knowledge of the steps before you can move on.

In this level, we have the focus will be on the continuing development of partnering skills, lead and follow, dance floor etiquette, a good understanding of timing, and the ability to execute simple sequences. New steps and turn patterns will be introduced and linked together to develop new combinations.
Level 3 (A,B,C)
Level 3 will refine and reinforce the principles and technique taught at the beginner levels. Emphasis will be on new and more challenging combinations to add to an already existing dance repertoire. Timing will constantly be reinforced which will help the student in their ability to combine various salsa combinations with ease.
Advanced
Levels 4/5/and 6 is for students who have completed Level 3 or those who have a solid understanding of Salsa. At this level, more intricate patterns, combinations as well as other styles such as cha cha cha, mambo, rumba, Mozambique, pilon etc. will be introduced with greater focus on speed, timing and co-ordination. Further development of partnering skills will be taught to make the lead delicate. The focus will be on teaching 'leaders' to have a clear concise lead with accuracy in timing while 'followers' become more receptive, resulting in smooth controlled movement.
