Embarking on a dance course can feel overwhelming and time-consuming, but what if it didn’t have to be? Thanks to the wonders of VR (and MR), learning to dance has never been more accessible.
Introducing The New Salsa Academy, led by instructors Rodrigo Cortazar and Asya Sonina. This innovative platform offers a complete beginner salsa course, providing step-by-step guidance for dancers of all levels.
Available exclusively on Quest, The New Salsa Academy offers a range of unique features that enhance the learning experience, setting it apart from traditional dance tutorials found on YouTube.
One standout feature is the AI-powered virtual dance partner that accompanies you during your practice sessions. This virtual partner analyzes your dance performance, tailoring exercises to suit your skill level. To excel, you must master timing, accuracy, and connection with your partner, whether you’re learning to lead or follow.
In addition to dancing in the virtual studio, the app also features a mixed reality mode, allowing you to practice your moves at home with your virtual partner. The New Salsa Academy is available on Quest 2/3/Pro in the Horizon Store, priced at $20.
You may already be familiar with the developers of The New Salsa Academy, Dance Reality, known for their popular mobile AR app for Android and iOS. This app teaches users to dance through animated footprints and a virtual dance instructor.
