This is supposed to be the quiet season yet I'm sending you an early newsletter because there is just so much salsa to fit in.

Before encouraging you to dance more often, I'd remind you to keep hydrated and take regular breaks with further advice in our article "How to look and stay cool on the dance floor".

LondonSalsa are honoured to host the listings for 100s of teachers and promoters, who in turn hope you'll participate in the their drop in lessons or courses, party hard at their clubs, band nights and mega alldayers or relax at their retreats and holidays.

Whether you started your salsa journey looking for a method to stay fit or to meet new people, our aim is to reveal the jewels that you could be enjoying tonight, this weekend, during August and throughout the year.

Look out for the special offers that will help you dance more often.

The weekend starts early with the monthly Pexava Thursday Salsa social at Conway Hall in Holborn. It isn't a coincidence that the newsletter is a day early. I'm earning my night out with friendly hosts, top DJs, a super dance floor, a lesson, undoubtedly a show or two, plenty of On2 and On1 partners and most importantly orange wedges at the end of the night.

This weekend is the 3-day Ginga Boo Kizz Festival UK running in Milton Keynes.

Watch the sunset as you sip a drink on the back deck, then see the river sparkle as the city lights up; all the while listening to some great salsa music to entice you back on the lively dance floor.
Four hours of dancing and fun; what a great way to spend a summers eve!
Editors note - I've been several times and can highly recommend booking early as there may not be tickets on the evening.
