City Salsa

I love salsa. Now I have to qualify this statement — I mean the dance, not the Mexican food — I have salsa as my new discovery on my Unilocal profile and people keep asking me about Mexican food!
I started dancing with Salsateca at Bourne Hall, which has sadly closed down. Bar Lenuccia had been recommended to me and Hilary, my salsa friend and when we heard that our old instructor from Bourne Hall, Tim, was teaching here, we decided to give it a try.
CitySalsa use this venue on Friday and Saturday evenings — the class starts at 9pm with the club starting afterwards around 10.30 going on til late. The dance area is at the back of the building and you do access it through the Italian restaurant.
There are 3 levels taught here at the moment, the highest being probably upper intermediate, which suited me and Hilary fine as we’re just coming back to dancing after an 8 month break.
We always begin with a fun warmup to loosen the limbs and get the feet moving. Then, the classes take place with several chances to practise to music during the class. Tim’s routines are always challenging but fun.
Finally a warm down, which can be really good fun before the club begins, which is freestyle and people are encouraged to practise and have fun.
The venue isn’t the biggest but is a good size for the number of people who currently attend. There’s air conditioning for when it does get hot and yes, salsa does get you sweating.
There’s no need to come with a partner, so do come down and give it a go. A most fun and sociable way to have fun and pick up a new skill. It currently costs £8 for the class
