New
venue to be announced soon, starting in 2010 please be aware we are no longer at

We aim to keep our salsa classes/lessons
relaxed, non-intimidating and safe environment, where the emphasis
is on FUN.
We encourage a social atmosphere within our group, with regular
monthly dance lessons at our monthly parties (see party section tab for
dates), and weekends away (see weekenders tab above). Its a
chance to enjoy a great night out not just to
learn to dance salsa! Many long term friendships have been made
in our salsa lessons and classes. I consider our group to be
more than just a dance class. Someone once said to me "you
can never have too many friends" so there is plenty of scope for
anyone wishing to join our dance classes and lessons. We
currently run Latin dance class at four venues: Three question I am often asked before attending the
classes for 1st time. 1. What to wear. Answer:- Comfortable clothing nothing too
warm, we get hot dancing, so big jumpers
are not a good idea! Shoes that are not too sticky (i.e no trainers,
unless worn out ones!) no flip flop,
or mule shoes without a back. 2. Do I need a partner. Answer:- No, we rotate partners so each
person can get the feel of how to
follow (ladies) and lead (guys, we try to keep the ratio of men to woman
even, so great if you do have
a partner, get them to come along. 3. How much are the classes, how long do they last. Answer:-£5
per lesson, two classes £8 taken
on the same night, or block book 8 lesson for £32, (which can be used
at all the venues)
we also sell gift vouchers for anyone wishing to buy an unusual gift.
Class is for 1 hour, two classes 2 hours.
We encourage you to stop longer after class for social dancing and to
get to know new friends and also
to practice.. Not the usual class plan... for
one of our party nights...'Role Reversal' ladies leading and men
following, some major fun time. Normally the guys lead....x

A
local Salsa Teacher wins National Award
The
Best UKSalsa Teacher Award 2008 was
announced placing Kate Judge of www.SalsaSpeople.com
a local Salsa dance school based in the Midlands in the top
three out of hundreds of Salsa Schools and Salsa Teachers up and
down the country. She was selected out of months of voting from
all Salsa dance students around the UK.
Kate
said “I can’t believe it out of
the whole of the UK, especially knowing how big the London based
Salsa schools can be. It was the students’ votes that got me
here. I am very grateful. After the announcement was
made I then opened my emails to find so many 'congratulation'
and 'best wishes', one of the students wrote. “I’m really
not surprised you won you certainly do have a fantastic
infectious personality that make your classes such fun, not only
are you a great teacher you are also great fun to be around”.
Which really did put a tear in my eye?I am
very humbled and touched with everyone that voted for me.
See if you can spot Andy
pulling a face at camera, and me fixing the light bulb I just
nearly punched out at the end!

Who
wants to say looking back over the years to come they 'nearly' had the
chance to meet friends? Imagine, you had to concede that you'd only
'nearly ' stole that first kiss! If you'd only 'nearly' took that first
holiday abroad. Or imagine if you 'nearly' never met some lovely people
because you didn't take that first step to learn to dance Salsa
and be part of our wonderful group! So there it is.
Will
your 'nearly' be one of regret? Or will you join us? But don't take too
long pondering. Because tomorrow's nearly here!!
