NZ World Latin Dance Cup 2016

Sweet Azucar! Latin Dance walks away with pride from the NZ World Latin Dance Cup!

The Sweet Azucar! Salsa Team received a 1st place trophy for their performance in the Salsa Non Cabaret Division. This means that the team goes straight into the semi-finals at the World Latin Dance Cup in Miami this December 2016!!! 

Then.... despite a costume malfunction (yes, it happens to the best of us!), the Cha Cha Team walked away with 2nd place in the Open Latin Teams Division.


Liz Parsons (aka Mamma Bear) said she was VERY PROUD of all her teams. She said that, despite a super slippery floor, the teams each performed their best performances yet. WELL DONE EVERYONE and special thanks to Alex Bryan for his choreography for the Cha Cha team and Sonia Hems (aka Sonia Sass) for her 'fine-tuning'.

Official high quality videos are not yet available, but footage is available to view on the NZ World Latin Dance Cup website. The Salsa Team's performance is at 15:10min and the Cha Cha Cha Team's performance is at 32:14min.

INTRO COURSE of 4 weeks, and must be completed before joining any of our other salsa classes. (Unless you can show us that you know the basic step comfortably). FREE!

 BEGINNERS. THE MULTILAYER ROOM!   One room. 3 areas. 3 levels. 3 graduations. 6 instructors. 4 week syllabus. TOO COOL!! This is going to fast track your salsa learning, for sure. We'll put you in the right class if joining us from another school. $40 per 4 week course.

 PRACTICA!!!   FREE to Sweet Az students.  This is for ALL of the Sweet Azucar Family to dance together in a social setting, practicing all that we know. Yes! Beginners, Beyond Basics and Instructors all together. Just the way it should be.

 BEYOND BASICS.  You’ve completed all of our Beginner levels OR have come from another school and have been assessed by one of our instructors and passed. Congratulations! Now you get to learn more salsa fundamentals, but with more emphasis on creating turn patterns. This is a fun session with LOTS OF LAUGHTER, discussion and discovery. Great for the confidence! Beyond Basics is a ‘variable’ class, so walk-ins are welcome. The content is a blend of the ‘directives’ by Nery and Serena, sprinkled in the cheeky flavour of a Sweet Az class environment.  $10 per session.
