Current update - 8th September 2021

We hope you are all doing well.

As much as we love dancing and passing that on to others, we have been very aware of the health and well-being of ourselves and our students.

We are meeting up at the end of September to discuss the way forward, and we will update you as soon as decisions have been made and we know more.

Updates and announcements will be made in due course in the newsletter, on here and on Facebook.

Update - 1st May 2021

It’s been over a year since we held our last “in person” salsa classes in Knowle and

I often get asked by beginner salsa dancers for music recommendations, so I have listed a few tracks below to get you started.

Salsa, with count

We have beginners salsa courses starting directly after every 8-week course has concluded, so you never have to wait too long.

We're taking a well-earned break over the Christmas and New Year holidays, but will be back in January with new classes and ready to burn off those calories!

Closure and opening dates are below - we hope to see you all in the New Year!

Theodore Roosevelt once said that “Nothing worth having comes easy” – I’ll expand on that slightly by saying “nothing worthwhile comes easy”.

This is true of learning how to dance.

There are a few, lucky, people out there who pick up the art of dance naturally and breeze through to greatness without blinking an eye (or so it seems). However, for the rest of us mere mortals, we have to work at it.

For me, learning to dance (starting with salsa) has potentially been the best decision I made – I have made many good friends and have a decent social life, I even have my current job through the connections I have made from learning to dance.

The people you meet are wide-ranging, are friendly, open and welcoming.

But to get to the point where you can start getting the most out of dancing through
