What is Salsa?

Salsa is one of the most popular forms of Latin dance on the Latin American social dancing scene in Auckland. The dance originates from the streets of Cuba and took the Americas by storm in the 1970s. Since then, Salsa is danced in nearly every metropolitan city in the world.

Sweet Azucar! Latin Dance aims to put the ‘street’ back into Salsa with their relaxed modern style suitable to the social dance floor.

CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO COVID L3 - We'll be back soon!

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.
