Hi Salseras and Salseros,

Whether you have just taken up salsa or have become a regular on the London Salsa, it is no secret that www.londonsalsa.co.uk is the key to finding the very best of all things salsa is London and the South East.

Our aim is to make sure that you find great classes and thence great events to enjoy. My personal aim is to make sure you not only enjoy those few hours we each get to dance but hopefully to encourage you to share those elements that are special for you with others. It doesn’t matter whether it is the companionship, the healthy exercise or simply the music taking control of your body, tell someone else and get them to join you. I do understand that perhaps you can’t make the same lesson times but why not meet up afterwards and share some social dancing?

The reason that we have become the bible for salsa in and around London is you. It is you that come to the site, add recommendations, chat and make sure the teachers we don’t know add their lessons, courses, parties and band nights to the site. It is a perpetual circle and I thank you for making it happen. If it wasn’t for the kind email and odd whisper in my ear, what would motivate me to keep our community informed?

Having said that, I wonder whether there is a reader who thinks they’d like to share my enjoyment and would like to help London Salsa take another step forward. Along with my technical colleagues, I have hopefully entertained over 50 000 unique visitors already this year and now we’d like to grow a little more. Do you know someone who would like an opportunity to help dancers in London to have more fun? Get them to drop me an email leigh@londonsalsa.co.uk.

Last week we introduced you to the Zero to Salsero article on site, which contains lots of good early advice for beginners as well as the rest of us. We do have a part two, have a read.
