Bristol's Premiere Salsa and Latin Dance School

Every Thursday night in South Bristol at the South Bristol Sports Centre we run 6 classes from complete beginners Salsa through to the most advanced. We also run: Bachata, Ladies Styling, Rueda, Cha Cha Cha, Cuban Salsa and other Latin dance courses at the same venue. New courses start every 8 weeks. You can pay on-line to secure your place or on the night at the venue.

We also hold regular dance parties at the Fry Club in Keynsham, Bristol where everybody is welcome including complete beginners. We also run the UK's largest and best one day workshop where we hire around 14 teachers from all over the country and offer around 24 workshops all in that one day at this venue.

We are available for private lessons in Salsa, Bachata or Cha Cha Cha upon request and we are also available for hire for corporate or private events.

Last year we supported www.takemetocuba.co.uk in taking Salsa dancers on a holiday of a lifetime! This is a Cuban holiday based in Havana and Varadero with Salsa and a hot Caribbean beach.

Resident teachers include: Moe flex, Nigel May and Femi Otukoya

Bachata - Tango

A new 8 week course with Misael Espinosa Cordero
Starts: Thursday 21st June 2012
Time 7.30-8.30pm
Cost: £45 for the whole 8 weeks 

Many of our pupils have asked for a Bachata - Tango course and during our 7.30pm slot with Misael Cordero we tend to try different genres to make you a holistic dancer, someone that doesn't have to sit out when for example a Cha Cha Cha, Bachata or in this case a Bachata - Tango track is played.

Thursday Weekly Class

Starting Thursday 21st June 2012.

How about doing something that is designed to be fun and help increase your fitness whilst meeting new people?

We will teach you to dance the hot Latin dance that is Salsa!

In just eight short weeks we will teach you how to dance in partnership the; Mambo, Rumba, Back Steps, Walk Turn, Cross Body, Cross Body Lead with an Inside Turn and more...

Common excuses people give themselves for not attending: "I can't dance". My reply is always the same, "If you could dance you wouldn't need to attend the classes". Everyone is in the same boat on our beginners courses and we have a range of ages in the present class from 18-60. "I might/will miss a class(s) due to work or holidays". We even have that covered; just come along early upon your return and we will get one of our 5 instructors to give you one-one instruction ensuring you never fall behind. In fact anytime you feel you want one-one just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

We do not go for the night club environment; we prefer the safer, more relaxed pace of teaching in a quality function room. Other benefits include; off road parking, cheaper bar and the friendliest group of people you will ever meet. If you don't believe us you are welcome to come and watch one night!

As a special offer, anybody registering to learn the 'lead' steps is entitled to a 50% discount on this course. That means you can attend an eight week course for just £22.50; you do the maths as to how much that costs per lesson!

All day Event With The Infamous Frank Santos!

Sunday 24th June 2012

South Bristol Sports Centre (in the dance studio)
3 Bachata Classes and 2 Salsa Classes
Time: 10.30am - 4.30 pm'ish
Cost: £25 per person
Spaces Limited to 36 People

Many of you will know Frank Santos or known of him before he moved to Estonia several years ago.

Frank was without doubt the most sought after Bachata teacher in the country and we amongst many others were sad to see him leave as he left a large void on the Bachata scene.

Ever since Frank left, Salsabristol has tried to book him to teach back here in Bristol whenever he was visiting but dates never quite matched until now. We booked Frank for the whole day on Sunday 24th June for 3 Bachata classes and 2 Salsa classes!

Places are limited to 36 people as we want the very best learning experience we possibly can from Frank, rather than pack the venue full and half the people can't see his instruction.

Friday 29th June 2012
RETURN OF THE FLEX!

Venue: Fry's, Somerdale Road, Keynsham, Bristol. BS31 2AU.
Time: 19.30 - 00.30.
£10 to include your lessons then party all night

Tonight for anybody who has little or no experience of Salsa, or those who want to simply polish their basic techniques; there will be two lessons in the Carter room with two of Salsabristol's own teachers. You are welcome to come alone, with a partner or a group of friends.

For the higher level dancers we have Moe Flex - 

Moe is one of the most sought after International teachers that is based here in England. His enthusiasm to teach and his love for Latin dance (not to mention party) is so infectious, you can not fail but to fall for his charisma and charm. 

Moe has worked with the likes of Madonna, Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent. We wonder how after events like these he can maintain his enthusiasm to teach at small venues like ours, nevertheless he does and whenever he is available we book him just as often as we can! 

Friday 27th July 2012
A Little Bit Of Cuba Comes To Bristol!

Venue: Fry's, Somerdale Road, Keynsham, Bristol. BS31 2AU.
Time: 19.30 - 00.30.
£10 to include your lessons then party all night

Tonight for anybody who has little or no experience of Salsa, or those who want to simply polish their basic techniques; there will be two lessons in the Carter room with two of Salsabristol's own teachers. You are welcome to come alone, with a partner or a group of friends.

For the higher level dancers we have Misael Cordero - We truly believe that Misael is one of the biggest untapped Cuban talents in The UK today. Although he is employed by many promoters and teaches at many of the Cuban Congresses, his true potential has yet to be realised. 

24th September - 9th October

Last year we supported, and several of us travelled with, www.takemetocuba.co.uk. Everyone that went had an amazing time and we all really did bring back memories that will last us for a lifetime. We enjoyed it so much and it was so well organised and priced that we are happy to support and promote them again this year.

You get 7 nights B&B in the Hotel Plaza which is situated right in the heart of the capital city. From here you will be entertained both night and day with Salsa, Bachata, Reggaeton, Cha Cha Cha and other Afro - Caribbean classes (included in the price), Horse and Carriage tours of the city, excursions offered to the countryside, the Rum Factory, the Tobacco Factory, the local Artists Market, the Farmers' Market, the world renowned Tropicana Show, visit Morro Castle for the ceremonial firing of the cannons, tours in 1950s American Cars and Rumba Shows. And then there is the dancing, every day and night they will take you out to where the best bands are playing at that time, and of course the most famous Latin night club in the world, Casa De La Musica! There is so much to tell you we haven't even mentioned the fine local restaurants that you will be taken to each and every day; eat from a wide choice of Cuban food, choose the best thing on the menu - add a drink - and pay around £15. Alternatively, pop to the local pizza bar for a £2 special!
