We welcome members new and old, dancers of all levels, those who are on the London scene or simply visiting to enjoy our wonderful capital.
It may have turned much colder outside but I guarantee you'll be a lot warmer after a lesson or social salsa.
Our aim is to give you a one stop shop to find the multitude of lessons, courses, holidays, weekenders, parties, the ecclectic mix of Cuban, XBody, Cali with full doses of bachata, kizomba and other latin themes.
The site is crammed with something for everyone, so our newsletter is merely intended as a titiliser, hoping you will go and find your perfect night out (or if you have caught the salsa bug, a whole month's worth of dancing and that is before the festive season).
