Description

In the second course level we will strengthen the understanding of the Salsa rhythm. We teach you how to start and end dancing, which is not as trivial as it may sound. 😉 

Further, you will learn some new basic figures such as Setenta and Sombrero and improve your Rueda de Casino skills.

To enter Salsa 2, you have to know the following patterns in couple:

  • Guapea (open basic step)

  • Dile que no

  • Enchufla 

  • Enchufla con dile que no

  • Vuelta a la Derecha (Right turn for followers)

  • Vacílala

  • Enchufla para siempre

And additionally the following patterns in Rueda: Dame, Enchufla, Vacílala, Coge fly, Coge línea, Coge rolling, fly pa'rriba, fly pa'bajo, Rojo > Verde

If you are not (yet) familiar with the names, here is some help: https://youtu.be/_luRonfQ8Fw

Lena und Reto sind super und der Kurs ist kurz vor dem latin open dancing, sodass man direkt weiter Richtung Höngg fahren kann, um zu üben ;)

Heidi and Tristan are absolutely great teachers, this was the third course we had the pleasure of attending with them. They teach with such joy and passion and so much patience. We are very happy to have had the chance to be part of their course. We were always looking forward to salsa classes, and left every session with a smile. Thank you so much!

03. June 2026, 15:13 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE C1
Great course, superb energy from both the instructors. They were really helpful and even if sometimes there was alot of new steps in the same class, they went through it and reinforced it great in that and the upcoming classes and were always receptive of any and all questions!
27. May 2026, 17:48 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE C1

Super Kurs! Es war lehrreich und stets mit guter Stimmung. Gerne wieder
18. Dec. 2025, 11:36 Teachers: Fabian Weber & Julia Kruszynska, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Fabian and Julia are pros in making the salsa class both fun and informative. They're really good at explaining figures step by step, make sure to answer any questions, and their enthusiasm for salsa is contagious. I always looked forward to the ruedas at the end - high energy and fun.
16. Sept. 2025, 21:37 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
I really like how Fabian and Julia teach their classes. They are so energetic! Rueda with them is a lot of fun and we always learn some new fun figures. I love that the teachers join the round both as leaders and followers to give specific feedback to everyone from their perspective. And I am really glad that they record videos of the new figures. This way I can learn them at home or try them out at open dancing. After the last class we even went to latin open dancing with the group. I would definitively recommend this course.
16. Sept. 2025, 19:58 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Fabian and Julia are a great team. The classes are a lot of fun and an absolute safe space. They also like to show some styling and teach some extra figures which are often a lot of fun. I can definitely recommend their classes :).
11. Sept. 2025, 22:54 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Fabian & Julia had very clear explanations of the moves, and the course was very fun. There was often an optional rueda at the end of the class, which was a highlight.
04. Aug. 2025, 16:18 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Starting from scratch, it left me eager to learn constantly more dancing moves. Big-ups tq!
25. July 2025, 10:06 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Teachers taught us not only interesting moves, but also stylings and hints for the music understanding. They gave us enough assistance and freedom to try on our own. Really social and open! The best of the best.
24. July 2025, 22:58 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
It. Was. Amazing. <3
05. June 2025, 01:03 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
I loved this course and Fabian and Julia as instructors!! Very fun new figures, lots of practice to remember the steps, positive environment and good vibes. And really fun ruedas! 10/10 recommend
04. June 2025, 14:01 Teachers: Lukas Vögeli & Marla Kohli, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Marla and Lukas were great teachers, can only recommend taking a course with them. Whenever someone had a question their input was very helpful. Also they taught the course with so much joy and enthusiasm that the course was always a nice way to spend your Monday evening.
03. June 2025, 18:07 Teachers: Richard Santiago & Melanie Letoré, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
With Salsa Cubana 2 you can finally start to do more long and complex figures, putting together the simpler moves learned in the previous class. By going to the Latino Open Dancing the improvement is quick and fun. I would absolutely recommend taking Salsa 1 before this class to get the basics right, as Salsa basics are complex to master.
02. June 2025, 13:46 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Anaïse and Kai teach salsa in an amazing and engaging way. We were always guaranteed to learn sth and have a lot of fun.
02. June 2025, 11:52 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
What a great course! On the last day we all went to open dancing together after the lesson. Was so so fun. Thank you Julia and Fabian!
01. June 2025, 22:07 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Julia and Fabian are great teachers. Their classes are always fun and never boring. They don't shy away from dancing with their students and give feedback. At the end of each class we always did a Rueda and never managed to end on time cause everyone was too busy having fun dancing. We even went to Platzspitz together for a Salsa social after the final session :D
30. May 2025, 12:03 Teachers: Richard Santiago & Melanie Letoré, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
It was a lot of fun and a great introduction, also if you have never danced before. Richard is super good at explaining the figures and techniques and Melanie brings a very engaging energy to the course.
30. May 2025, 07:04 Teachers: Richard Santiago & Melanie Letoré, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Richard and Melanie are great teachers. That was my 2nd course with them and it was super useful while also being a lot of fun! Would absolutely recommend

There is no better way to learn Salsa than T/Q, with Reto and Maddalena! :)
18. Dec. 2024, 20:29 Teachers: Reto Zihlmann & Maddalena Davoli, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Reto und Maddalena sind super lieb und aufgestellt. Sie erklären die Schritte seher verständlich und ihre Hilfestellungen sind sehr nützlich. Ich bin immer sehr gerne gegangen und habe mich gerade für den nächsten Kurs bei ihnen angemeldet.

29. May 2024, 17:10 Teachers: Leonor & Ilya Vasilenko, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Ilya and Leonor did a fantastic job teaching, the course was engaging, instructive, and fun!

07. Jan. 2024, 12:29 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Lukas Vögeli, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-01
I had so much fun with Lukas and Anais ! They were so chill and welcoming, and gave useful advice. Over the time of the course, a nice vibe was created between the course participants, and we learned so much in an entertaining way.
17. Dec. 2023, 10:18 Teachers: Silvan Meyer & Ramona Muentener, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
Silvan und Ramona sind energiegeladen und bringen uns Salsa Cubana auf eine verständliche und praktische Art und Weise, welche alles andere als starr ist, bei. Sie tanzen auch regelmässig mit den Teilnehmern und geben uns direktes Feedback, was extrem wertvoll ist.
15. Dec. 2023, 16:42 Teachers: Silvan Meyer & Ramona Muentener, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03

Robin and Lena give a great class, not just with interesting figures and lots of help to get them right, but also an energy that just makes it really fun to take the class.
01. Oct. 2026, 10:53 Bachata Sensual Styling with Lena Meyer, Room: AXcent Dance Studio
Great class to improve overall confidence and comfort level while styling! :)
18. Aug. 2026, 01:11 Bachata Sensual Styling with Lena Meyer, Room: AXcent Dance Studio
Der Kurs bei Lena hat alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Ich konnte sehr viel profitieren und hatte richtig Spass im Kurs. Lena hat die anspruchsvolle Technik klar und verständlich erklärt, ist auf Fragen eingegangen und hat mich mit ihrer positiven Energie angesteckt. Man merkt ihr die Leidenschaft zum tanzen und unterrichten an und ihre Choreos machten mir grossen Eindruck.
21. May 2026, 15:19 Salsa Cubana 4 with Reto Zihlmann & Lena Meyer, Room: UZH Irchel Y21-D-68a
Really enjoyed Reto & Lena’s energy. The class was fun and I learned a lot of new figured.
20. May 2026, 00:12 Salsa Cubana 4 with Reto Zihlmann & Lena Meyer, Room: UZH Irchel Y21-D-68a
reto and lena are really cool teachers with a positive energy!
09. April 2026, 15:52 Salsa Cubana 3 with Lena Meyer & Reto Zihlmann, Room: UZH Irchel Y21-D-68a
It's always fun to take courses with Reto and Lena, because they complement each other very well: one brings a lot of energy and new ideas, while the other keeps the explanations clear and practical. A big advantage this term was that the teachers often danced with participants when partner balance was uneven. That gave very direct feedback and helped understand much better how the figures should feel with an experienced partner. I also enjoyed that we regularly included rueda, which added variety and energy to the lessons. The group chat with videos was very practical as a reminder, and I actually used the videos later to recall figures during socials.
01. April 2026, 11:57 Salsa Cubana 1 with Lena Meyer & Reto Zihlmann, Room: UZH Irchel Y21-D-68a
Very fun course! We learnt more than expected and I already feel like I know enough steps to participate in open dancing :)
16. Jan. 2026, 21:53 Salsa - Training with Robin Renggli, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Robin ist einfach eine ausgezeichnete Tänzerin und super Lehrerin!
16. Dec. 2025, 23:21 Salsa Cubana 4 with Lena Meyer & Reto Zihlmann, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Lena und Reto haben das super gemacht! Figuren wurden schrittweise erklärt und wiederholt in der nächsten Stunde, was ich sehr schätze. Auch die Videos waren superhilfreich, um zu üben.
06. Nov. 2025, 18:02 Salsa Cubana 3 with Lena Meyer & Reto Zihlmann, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
I love Reto's energy. Lena and Reto make the course feel really fun. I was at times a bit overwhelmed by all the setenta variations and especially by the naranja figure, but personalized feedback from the teachers helped. We did rueda almost every time, and I truly enjoyed it! Would recommend this course!
30. Oct. 2025, 11:25 Salsa Cubana 1 with Lena Meyer & Reto Zihlmann, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
It was great! The teachers were super helpful, and I am excited to keep learning.

22. June 2025, 11:23 Salsa - Training with Robin Renggli, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Amazing teacher :)
09. April 2024, 10:51 Salsa Ladystyle with Robin Renggli, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE C1
This was an amazing way to find ways to not only improvise but also feel more comfortable when improvising taught with lots of love to details by Robin. I would definitely sign up if you see her teaching the course!
07. April 2024, 22:37 Salsa Ladystyle with Robin Renggli, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE C1
Very useful if you want to learn more pasitos and choreo parts to implement into your dance. It was fun and insightful to also take some time to focus on isolations and details that do not get enough attention during the regular classes.
12. June 2023, 20:30 Salsa Cubana 6 with Ilya Vasilenko & Robin Renggli, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
A wonderful course with an incredibly funny atmosphere by Robin and Ylia. I liked the figures and the Rueda de Casino parts, the lead changes, the styling options and the energy! :D
