Salsa Saturdays at Furor Pune

A Behind-the-Scenes Look!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to spend an entire day immersed in Salsa dance classes in Pune, this one’s for you. At Furor Pune, Saturdays are dedicated to pure Salsa energy—from foundational footwork to advanced combos, tea breaks to laughs with our community. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how our Salsa Saturdays unfold!

🕓 The Day Begins – Classes from 4 PM to 9:30 PM

Our Saturdays are packed with non-stop Latin dance action. Classes begin at 4 PM and continue until 9:30 PM, covering beginner, intermediate, and advanced Salsa sessions. But before the dancing begins, we say goodbye to our feline overlords, Scooter and Piddi—our adopted (or rather, adoptive) cats—and brave Pune’s legendary traffic in a 45-minute rickshaw ride to the studio.

☕ Fuel Up Before We Step In

No dance day starts without a visit to our favorite tea stall right under the studio! If you’re ever around, do try their Maggi, Anda Bhurji, and the ever-reliable cutting chai. It’s become a mini-tradition to grab a bite before hitting the dance floor.

🧑‍🎓 Beginner Salsa Class – Building the Foundatio

We love the energy of our beginner students, many of whom show up early, excited and ready to learn. The beginner Salsa class kicks off with fun drills and a quick revision of previous moves. Today’s focus? The outside turn footwork and improving partner connection—essentials for anyone looking to get comfortable with Salsa social dancing.

🕺 Intermediate Salsa Class – Level Up Your Technique

Some of our enthusiastic dancers stay back for a double session! While they catch their breath, we grab a delicious vada pav and a second round of tea.

The intermediate class begins with balancing drills to improve turning technique and core strength. We then dive into some creative Salsa footwork, before transitioning into interactive classwork exercises that get everyone moving. The highlight? Working on closed hold partnerwork and the ever-popular “revolving door” move—a crowd favorite that brings fluidity and flair to any Salsa dance.

💃 Advanced Salsa Class – Pachanga, Precision & Performance

The final class of the evening is our advanced Salsa session, and it’s as fun as it is demanding. We start with stretching and body movement drills, then jump into one of our favorites: Pachanga—a funky Afro-Cuban style that adds rhythm and personality to your dance.

Instead of a traditional partnerwork combo, today’s challenge is all about mastering the “no connection” technique, which helps dancers lead and follow more intuitively on the social dance floor. The focus is on timing, energy exchange, and subtle cues.

🍽️ Wrapping Up with Food, Fun & Fam

No Furor Saturday is complete without a post-class dinner! We head out with our amazing students to one of our favorite restaurants for a hearty meal and dessert. These moments of shared joy and connection are what make our dance community so special.

Then it’s time to head home, rest up, and get ready for Bachata Sunday—because the dancing never really stops!
