Salsa Rapido

There are so many styles of salsa it is easy to get confused — La Cross Body, Cuban, New York etc etc… Is one better than the others? Not according to sensational teacher Alastair. A full day of salsa led by this rather enigmatic gent, led to fun, laughter and a historians wealth of knowledge on the subject of salsa. His teachings transcends style, taking the best from Cuban and the other styles to create a system of learning called Salsa Rapido. This system of teaching is less formalised than the way many Mambo teachers lead a class, culminating in a style that I believe helps a student make a faster transition to freestyle dancing in a club.
There are a huge number of intensive courses that run every weekend, from specialised turns and travelling workshops, beginners courses and even full day Rueda workshops that can run for up to 5hrs. The Bar Salsa club is tailor made for salsa, without being huge there is enough space for a big lesson.
If you need to learn salsa in a hurry, it may be the best £40 you spend. If you have time, Salsa Rapido, runs drop in classes at The Cuban in Camden on Thursdays and Mondays at The Salsa Cellar.
