Studio UP
offers a variety of Latin dance classes for adults:
Salsa, Street Cha Cha, Tango
Salsa: On1 (DansFlava)
This is the predominant style in many parts of the world and is sometimes also known as the "Los Angeles Style".
We usually recommend for beginners to start with this style first due to the predominance of On1 dancers in Singapore and in the world. This allows them to quickly get out on the dance floor!
Level 1: Foundations (6 wks, $90)
Level 2: Beginners (6 wks, $90)
Level 3: Intermediate (6 wks, $90)
Level 4: Intermediate-Advanced (6wks, $90)
Salsa: On2 (Dansflava)
New York! New York! The On2 style of Salsa is synonymous with the Big Apple and its rich history of music and dance.
Our On2 courses are aimed more towards On1 dancers seeking to enhance their knowledge and repertoire by learning the On2 style. As such, students signing up for the Salsa On2 Level 1 course are required to have completed at least their Salsa On1 Level 1 course or equivalent before being allowed to sign up for this course.!
Level 1: Beginners (6 wks, $90)
Level 2: Intermediate (6 wks, $90)
Level 3: Intermediate-Advanced (6 wks, $90)
Street Cha Cha (DansFlava)
Unlike the cha-cha that some of us may be more familiar with, the style taught in DansFlava follows more closely to the Cuban Street Cha Cha style. This style is preferred because the casual, relaxed nature of the dance allows for greater freedom of expression and play.
Level 1: Beginners (6 wks, $90)
Level 2: Intermediate (6 wks, $90)
Level 3: Intermediate-Advanced (6 wks, $90)

In its original form, Argentine Tango is a completely improvised dance where leaders and followers focus on the physical communication between each other thereby allowing instant changes in direction and movement while still maintaining the connection between partners.
