FAQ's

Do I need to come to the class with a partner?

It's perfectly ok to come to the classes with or without a partner, we rotate everyone in the classes and there is always an opportunity for those without a partner to learn partner work.  Many people come alone, and you will soon make friends with everyone in the class and club. After the classes we encourage everyone to dance with each other no matter what level you may be.

What do I wear to a class?

Anything you like as long as you are comfortable in it and are free to move. With regards footwear dance shoes are not necessary for the beginners classes, for ladies though, we do recommend short heels with a strap so that the shoes are secure on the feet. Trainers/sneakers are ok initially provided they are not too chunky and grippy. As you progress through the classes you may wish to purchase some dance shoes and Mambo Vibes can advise on where to purchase shoes.

Do I need any previous dance experience?
Absolutely not, it doesn't matter if you've never danced before at all, we welcome all beginners to Salsa with open arms. You'll be able to learn at your own pace and we'll provide you with a great deal of fun on the way.

Can I just turn up?

Yes, no pre-booking is required, Our beginner classes are based very much around having fun whilst learning.

Do I need to register?

We encourage everyone to sign up to our optional mailing list and if your on Facebook to also join the Mambo Vibes Facebook group. You will receive occassional information regarding promotions and other news from Mambo Vibes. Apart from that there is no registration required.

What is the bonus class and can I join in?
Preceding the main classes, Mambo Vibes run a bonus class which is often aimed at beginner level, but occasionally the bonus class will be introducing other dance styles at a more advanced level. Check with us first to see if it the class will be suitable for you. The bonus class usually runs for a maximum of 6 weeks and then we will switch it. Previous bonus classes have included Bachata, Merengue, Kizomba, Salsa footwork, On2, and Cha Cha Cha.
