Going to your first Salsa social/party event can be daunting and even a little overwhelming for the uninitiated.

Update:
We will be having two nights in one to make up for the missing night on the 19th starting at 6 pm. More details below.

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.
