I was warmly welcomed to the monthly Salsa D'Lite party in Bourne End, last month.  Dancers of all levels danced to a mixed set of salsa, bachata and kizomba on an excellent dance floor. I'm convinced from the friendliness in the room that this Saturday, that starts with a bachata lesson, will be excellent as well.

The Saturday party in Great Portland St with Salsa Fusion includes a class, Johnny Freyre Orquesta live and late night salsa party.

Salsatricity this week are in Hatfield. 

Your Sunday evening could contain live music, care of Mundo Latino in Richmond.  The band starts at 7.30pm so over 4 hours of dancing. (mention London Salsa on the door for a £2 discount).

Beginners through to advanced dancers are invited to take a lesson before the Bank Holiday Sunday party in Enfield.

Being a bank holiday, I'd like to remind all to contact their teachers regarfing lessons this week, as some find their venues unavailable.

Salsa in the capital is booming midweek, with lessons for all levels and social dancing.

It''s busy buzzy and bonkers but it's fun and it works!

There are many special offers on Wednesdays, including a free intro to salsa session at Bar Salsa in Soho for those in the centre of town.

You can find all classes and events that are listed on LondonSalsa.co.uk also on the Global Dance Card app. Everything that appears on any of our sites, including UKDance.Events and UKSalsa.Dance, is actually posted by the teachers and promoters.

Our disappointment is that not all choose to list but may do so if you mention that it is totally free for your favourite host to add their lessons, parties, band nights, troupe performances, workshops, holidays, weekenders and courses.

Throughout May and into the future there are some fabulous opporttunities to dance and often booking early gets you an early bird discount or something really quite special.

For instance Sunday May 13th, you have the opportunity to take a ladies styling workshop with Edyta Czagowiec in Paddington or the Thames Salsa Cruise.

I know that many salsa dancers enjoy kizomba as well.
The first Ginga Boo Kizz Festival takes place in Milton Keynes 15-16-17th June, offering daytime workshops with international and home grown teachers plus late night night (or should I say early morning) parties.

You can claim a £5 discount off the advertised early bird prices by quoting "A2Z".

Happy dancing one and all, 

Leigh and the LondonSalsa team
