We all know that we can only improve by dancing with those that are more experienced ! Plus what a great way to encourage more people into the world of salsa than by showing them how much fun it is !

If you would like to help out during a lower level class then I would trully appreciate it and I'm sure they would too !Any regular helpers will get a reduced entry into Northgate and Woodside as a thank you :-)

Social dancing from 10pm till 11:30pm £1 only (with the potential for a 1am bar if popular !)

I'm often asked "What should I wear?" A smile and some confidence is all you'll need !!!!

Clothes wise, you can wear anything that you feel comfortable in and doesn't restrict your movements. Leather soled shoes are best as trainers can restrict movement.
