‘The New Salsa Academy’ Teaches You All The Right Moves, Now Available on Quest

Embarking on a dance course can seem daunting and time-consuming, but with the advent of VR (and MR), it doesn’t have to be.

Recently launched by instructors Rodrigo Cortazar and Asya Sonina, The New Salsa Academy offers a complete beginner salsa course experience, guiding you through each step of the way.

Exclusively available on Quest, The New Salsa Academy incorporates unique features to enhance your salsa learning journey, providing a more immersive experience compared to traditional dance tutorials on platforms like YouTube.

Featuring an AI-powered virtual dance partner that mirrors your movements, the app evaluates your dance performance and adjusts the exercises according to your skill level. Mastering timing, accuracy, and connection with your partner is key to achieving the highest grade, whether you’re learning to lead or follow.

In addition to dancing in the virtual studio, the app offers a mixed reality mode, allowing you to practice your salsa moves at home with your virtual partner. The New Salsa Academy is available for Quest 2/3/Pro on the Horizon Store, priced at $20.

Developed by the creators of the popular mobile AR app for Android and iOS, Dance Reality, The New Salsa Academy utilizes animated footprints and a virtual dance instructor to teach users the art of dancing.
