    The dance moves are a great workout, they didn't lie. After the first two classes my body was sore as if I went to the gym. Instructor's encouragement and guidance make it easy to stay motivated. I'm already seeing a difference in my body after just two weeks!

    I've always loved salsa dancing but never had the confidence to try it in public. This course has been a great opportunity for me. The instructor's guidance and encouragement have helped me develop my own interpretation of the moves and feel more confident dancing.

Why choose this course?

This course is based on the author's teaching experience of many years. Molly knows how to explain the basics of salsa in a simple and accessible way, present all the movements and dance combinations. But most importantly, Molly shares how to feel the dance and music, how to move in your unique style rather than following predetermined patterns.

That's why this course is perfect for those who have never danced before but are willing to try something new and dive into joyful rhythms.

Under the careful guidance of the author, students gradually master the basics of body control, warm-up exercises, learn to listen to music and dance to the rhythm. They learn the basic movement patterns in salsa, improvise without fear and fully express themselves in this sparkling dance.

No partner is needed for the course, as it is a solo version of salsa. However, all the elements learned are applicable to partner dance as well. You can practice at any age, in any convenient place, and you don't need any special preparation or clothing. You can devote just 10-15 minutes a day to your studies and learn your first choreography in just 10 days.

Molly Hagman was born and raised in Sweden where her passion for dance really took off at Malmoe Dance Academy in 2009. Molly immersed herself in all different dance styles offered at the academy, representing World Dance with styles as Belly Dance, Bollywood, Samba, Dancehall, Reggaeton, Street styles, Jazz, Contemporary and Ballet. During her 6 years as a student, and later also a teacher at MDA, she established a very versatile foundation.

In 2014 Molly completed a 1-year commercial dance education at International Dance Academy in Copenhagen, Denmark. As part of the program she got the opportunity to train at the world renowned dance studios Millennium Dance Complex and Debbie Reynold's in Los Angeles for 3 months. There she trained with some of LA's top choreographers including Yanis Marshall, Nika Kljun, Tricia Miranda, Will Adams (WillDaBeast), Misha Gabriel, Jojo Gomez and Gustavo Vargas.

In January 2016 Molly packed her bags and left for NYC to study dance at Broadway Dance Center. She did the International Student Visa Program with ballet as her concentration and graduated in October 2019 after almost 4 years of full-time studies. She took classes for some of the most prominent teachers in the city and got mentored in ballet by Natalya Stavro and Jamie Salmon. The technique-forward training gave her a great repertoire and the right building blocks to truly elevate her dance.

Now based in NYC as a professional dancer, Molly is currently part of the world-renowned salsa company Yamulee Dance Company, directed by Osmar Perrones. She's celebrating 6 years since joining in August 2016. During her time in New York, she has trained and taken classes for some of the best salsa dancers in the world. In 2016 she trained with Franklin Diaz for 6 months and formed part of his professional team, having the honor to debut his Boogaloo routine alongside Selene Tovar as a duet in June 2016. Now she's teaching and performing with the Pro team Yamuleé nationally and internationally.
