Salsa Dance Classes in Surrey

Salsa Dance Classes in Surrey – why is it so hard to find a class?

Are you looking for Salsa dance classes in Surrey? You probably remember a time when you couldn’t walk fifty yards down the road without seeing an advert for salsa.

Sadly, that time has long gone. There are many reasons for this but we are going to discuss just one today.  The first reason for the demise of Salsa dance classes in Surrey is a widespread issue within the industry.

Let me explain. In this country, there is no legal requirement for a qualification to teach.   Imagine, Mr Joe Bloggs, goes to a salsa class somewhere learns for six weeks. He decides this is a good way to make money so he finds a hall and starts up his classes. He just teaches what he has learned in the first six weeks. After that, he continues to attends classes himself and teaches as he learns.  There is nothing illegal in this and nothing to stop him doing it.

He has no qualifications, no real understanding of what he is doing and no insurance. This leads to a low standard of teaching in a dangerous environment.  Unfortunately, during the Salsa craze, this is exactly what happened. Standards went down, the enjoyment waned and authentic salsa got confused. If you went to a salsa club, no one could dance together because no one was teaching the same salsa. The same thing is happening with Zumba right now.  This is one the reasons for the disappearance of Salsa dance classes in Surrey.
