Dance Growth
To continue improving, we recommend a combination of practice, online classes, private lessons, group classes, and social dancing. This is especially true for Beginner lessons, which are designed to be repeated. No matter your level, there are always areas for improvement and practice through training. The exciting part is that there is always room for growth, and we want to support you in your dance journey by helping you reach your maximum potential. It's always beneficial to receive feedback on areas that need work to improve. We recommend the Ultimate Training Program >
☆ Gradings for Progression
Gradings are also designed to help improve you fundamental level, so If you didn't get a platinum grade on the first attempt this is actually normal for most 90% of people. You can always improve your fundamentals in beginner classes or get help in the areas of weakness with private lessons and then resit a future grading.
In order to advance to higher levels in Salsa, & Bachata , a graded pass is mandatory. Salsa Latina is a pioneer in the 'Street Latin' dance industry in New Zealand and has introduced "Group gradings" as a means of elevating students to higher levels. This approach has resulted in several benefits, including the assurance that dancers are at the appropriate level, identifying areas of weakness and strength for improvement, and maintaining a higher standard in the higher levels. Since 2020, this approach has had a significant positive impact on classes, improving the quality while challenging dancers and increasing enjoyment for everyone. We encourage other dance schools to follow our lead and adopt the same approach to raise the standard throughout New Zealand.
