Dance crosses all boundaries you don't even have to speak the same language!  You can express yourself without words its addictive.  When you dance it takes your mind of everything and you communicate in a way that is unique and special." (Kate x) When I'm  asked about Salsa I usually talk about the dance itself, but the world of Salsa is much more. I discovered Salsa whilst looking for something more then 'dancin around the handbag'. I have since ventured into the world of teaching Salsa having qualified to attend the Latin School of Dance in order to obtain my professional Diploma. Having come from a back ground in the fitness industry working at top Spa Resorts in the UK, I realized how much of my job involved mixing with people, which I  loved the most.  I also realized there is more to being a dance teacher then knowing steps... you have to be able to make everyone feel at easy and comfortable in a group setting, while keeping a up beat positive fun attitude, and also to... not  take your self too seriously, laugh when you can is the best medicine for life.   I've now come to dedicate my life to teaching Salsa as a full time job. But more importunately do my very best to bring everyone together as a social, friendly group. From all this training I try to be a clear and concise teacher, breaking down every move into manageable sections that I describe in detail. But my natural ‘crazy girl’ and sense of fun still over powers me at time, so the class is quite fun and informative. I have also been booked to teach at one of the biggest congresses in United Kingdom the UK Salsa Kingdom amongst the line up with the world’s top teachers of Latin dance.   My biggest honor to date is being place in the top 3 for  The UK Best National Teachers Award for teaching Salsa in 2008 (to include the massive London based schools)!  I didn't realize that I was actually missing out, until I ventured into Salsa and discovered a whole new scene, not only to learn to dance but dancing with true choreography behind the steps that anyone can do!  You don't have to be famous or a movie star to learn Salsa, just the will to try and have a go, meet new friends and be part of our lovely group. And of course meet new friends. Kate Judge  www.SalsaPeople.co.uk

When you arrive for the first time, often  we hear that some are a little nervous. We currently have a variety of people attending our class, singles of both men and women, couples, and groups, big or small, with all levels of fitness (you don't have to be fit to join our group) but luck would have it dancing will make you fit without you even noticing! All are assured of a warm welcome.  

Four Beginner moves are then taught initially by breaking each step down, then we walk through the move together, and finally practice it to music! The moves are taught one by one, and then linked together; so after 30-40 minutes, even a brand new beginner will be able to get through an entire track, dancing those four moves to the music!  We then build each week on more moves, that can be used within your own routine. We teach moves that can be dance socially, we do have a vast variety of moves, but we prefer to keep our moves danceable in any club/party setting, rather than something almost impossible to do in a social scene! You do not have to be super fit to join our group, however you will notice your fitness improve as time goes by without even being aware of it!  So please feel free to browse our website, the top buttons will take you to all the pages on this site.
