Eight o'clock on a Friday, somewhere under Nanjing East Road. A room of strangers is counting one, two, three… five, six, seven. You're one beat behind, and so is the person across from you. Then the rotation call comes, you change partners, and it suddenly makes sense.
One hour of basics, then the dance floor
This is Copa Taiwan's October Salsa trial class, made for people who have never danced salsa. You don't need a partner because everyone rotates during class, so you'll dance with lots of people.
The class runs from 8:00 to 9:00 PM. Right after it, the Social Party starts, and you can try your new steps to real music while they're still fresh.
How to get the free spot
Pre-register online and your first Class + Social Party costs nothing. From your second visit on, it's NTD 600 per class and party.
