What a try-out
is actually like
Music, laughing, and a room full of people you have not met yet. Learning to dance is half of it. The other half is who you are dancing with.
2You dance the whole hour
From the first count to the last. Nobody sits at the side watching, and that includes you.
3You meet the whole room
Partners change every few minutes, so you dance with everyone. There is a lot of laughing in that hour, and connection is the thing you are really learning.
4You are in
Socials, parties, weekends away. Plenty of people came for one class and found their friends here.
You do not need to bring anyone. Most people come alone and leave with a room full of names.
Salsa or bachata?
The short version.
You do not have to choose for good. Plenty of people end up doing both, and the levels run separately.
Salsa
Three steps and a pause, then repeat
Quick footwork, turns, and playful changes of direction. Salsa has an upbeat feel, with plenty of room to have fun with your partner and the music.
Bachata
Three steps and a tap, then repeat
A more relaxed pace, with time to explore rhythm, connection and body movement. We teach moderna and sensual bachata, starting with simple steps you can enjoy from your very first lesson.
Leader or follower? The leader decides what comes next, the follower answers it. Usually the man leads and the woman follows. Leading has nothing to do with how well you dance. You learn it from your first class, like everything else. You choose when you book.

World-class professionals offering excellent instruction at a fair price. I have spent the last 2 months driving to Amsterdam from Amersfoort (60km), three to four times per week, to attend lessons and social events at Extremos.Nicol C.

Absolutely brilliant school for Salsa L.A style. The teachers there are amazing, they all have different styles of teaching but the fundamentals stays the same which I love.Juni
The next try-out week starts Monday 14 December.
Five euro if you have never danced. Ten if you want to know which level you belong in.
