Due to the sad passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, our venue will be closed for her funeral on Monday, the 19^th. Obviously, this means there will be no classes this week.

We will be open again as usual on Monday the 26^th.

If you know anyone who had planned on going, please make them aware, saving them a potentially wasted journey.

Beginners Course
The closure on the 19^th does mean a disruption in the current 8-week beginners’ course.

As we won’t be able to push the course back a week, we will have an extra hour on the 3^rd of October.

We will start at 6pm with a break before our regular beginners’ class start time of

We are delighted to announce that from Monday 1st November Salsa classes will be running every Monday at the top floor function room at the Imperial Sports Ground (used to be known as South Bristol Sports Centre).

There have been a number of changes not least the venue and day we run classes. Sadly, due to the effects of the lockdowns because of Covid have had an effect on the club and with the virus still very much present in all our lives this will ultimately have an effect on the numbers of customers we see come through our doors. Although we hope our many loyal supporters will still be able to come and join us it does mean that until things improve, we cannot run our normal 6 classes on an evening, and this has led to us having to lose our wonderful higher-level teacher Alex Fright for the

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.

We have beginners salsa courses starting directly after every 8-week course has concluded, so you never have to wait too long. We will take new students with little or no experience up to week 3; just let us know, and you can come in for a quick catch-up before the main class. After this time, we may only take on new students for the current running course if you've had previous dance experience.

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!

Oh my days, can you believe it!? November is nearly at an end which can only mean one thing! The Salsa Bristol Christmas Party night is nearly upon us again! Yes, that's right it's time to raid the wardrobe for a sparkly outfit or go in search through the Christmas decorations for that hidden Santa Costume you hide from the kids every year!

As some of you are aware, Alex and Hannah are off on a long holiday for several weeks, so from November 18th to December 6th we will be having guest teachers filling in for them.

Alex and Hannah will be back for our Christmas party on the 13th December.
