We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive from new students. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Don’t hesitate to contact us here for more details.
Salsa is an addiction! It’s a great way to have fun, get in shape, meet great people, and form lasting friendships. Our Salsa classes cover many different styles of latin dance including Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia and more! Salsa Can Change Your Life!
No Problem! You don’t need a partner to come learn and have a blast dancing. We rotate students frequently during the partner practice parts of classes and workshops.
We encourage students to meet to new people! By experiencing different leads and follows, students become better dancers.
We foster an environment rooted in respect and safety. Although, Salsa and Bachata are often known as being more sensual dances, we have a strict zero tolerance policy when it comes to any form or disrespect or unwanted advances.
Many people come who do not dance but just enjoy meeting people, hanging out, listening to music, and watching the entertainment on the floor.
There is an Introduction Class at the beginning of each event (No partner required) to help get you started. Have fun!
Students must be 16 and up to attend classes and workshops.
Students may join at ANY time!
Punch-cards are available for packages of 4 classes.
In order to join a higher level, students must personally test with the instructor before class. Only an instructor can place a student in an upper level, students may not place themselves.
Come wearing comfortable clothes. Some people prefer to come in their dance night clothes, but many just come in comfortable yoga/athletic clothes. Comfortable jeans are acceptable as well. As long as you’ll be comfortable dancing and breaking a little sweat!
Everyone needs to wear shoes with a smooth bottom.
Avoid tennis shoes or shoes with tread because the shoes will stick to the floor. If you MUST wear a tennis or sport shoe – glides/dance socks like these are highly recommended.
No flip flops or slip-ons because the shoes can slip off your feet.
Ladies: Preferably a 2.5 – 3 inch heel but not required.
Gentlemen: Typically wear a dress shoe.
We recommend that you try to take the classes as close together as possible to get the most out of class and build on your learning as quickly as possible.
Or you may consider taking a private lesson to catch up with your level.
However, taking your 4 classes consecutively is not required.
We offer a Punch-card system so that you can keep track of your classes.
Students may join at ANY time!
Punch-cards are available for packages of 4 classes.

Class credits are only good for SGSC regular classes.
Workshops are with Special Guest Instructors and they are separate from regular SGSC classes.
We cannot give refunds but any credit you have for unused classes does not expire.
We accept credit cards, cash, or checks.
Well, it depends. Like everything in life, you get out what you put in.
If you practice regularly, attend social dances, find a practice partner, and (most importantly) have fun, you are sure to see your dancing improve!
There are so many salsa dancing opportunities to take advantage of here in the Greenville, SC and upstate areas – from classes to guest workshops, social dancing, and out-of-town events!
