...do I need to bring a partner with me?
...when do the lessons start?
We run WEEKLY lessons on Monday and Thursday night. The lessons are held on Mondays at the Lincoln Arms in Dorking and on Thursdays at Betchworth Village Hall. You don't need to wait for a new course to start, all you have to do is just turn up at the right time according to your level - Check the "Lessons" section for more info.
...do I have to pay for the lessons?
We are usually charging £7 per person (£5 for absolute beginners on Mondays). This means that if you feel confident enough as to come to the advanced lesson at 19:30, you can carry on having fun and dancing in the intermediate class for the same price.
MULTIPASS: £35 - If you are coming to the improvers or intermediates class get 6 lessons for the price of 5 and use them when you find more convenient in our Tuesday and/or Thursday lessons! It does not expire!
MONTHLY PASS: £40 per month. If you want to improve quickly and make the most of the salsa experience every month coming to our Tuesday and Thursday lessons!
Social dance is FREE from 21:00 onwards, so you are more than welcome to just join for the music and good vibes after the lessons.
...do I have to wear any special shoes or clothes?
As you will see, we don´t usually wear any special shoes or clothes - we just tend to wear something comfortable that allows us to move and dance. However in the market you can find special dancing shoes with a smooth sole for both ladies and men -it´s entirely up to you. We don´t recommend wearing flip flop type sandals as these can be dangerous.
...are there any car park spaces available?
The Lincoln Arms has usually some car park spaces available at the back - the entry is on the right hand side as if you were going to Dorking main train station. Alternatively, there are usually some spaces in Lincoln Road, just on the other side of the pub.
Betchworth Village Hall has lots of free parking spaces!!!
