The biggest and best Salsa nights in Cardiff.

Never done Salsa?
Here's the top 3 questions answered!

1. Do I need a partner?
No partner is needed as partners are rotated often during the classes. Salsa is a social dance and this is the best way to meet new people and feel free to dance the night away.

2. Do I need to book?
All our classes are run on a drop in basis so no pre booking is neccesary. Keeping with the authentic roots of salsa as a social dance the after club is the most important part. What's the point in learning to dance unless you dance!

3. Do I need special shoes/clothes?

No, smart casual is the order of the day. For the feet keep them comfortable but leather soled as there is some turning involved. For the rest of you keep it cool, dancing is physical so woolly jumpers would seriously cramp your style.

One more question:
What is it!?
Salsa is a social partner dance from South America primarily Cuba, Puerto Rico and Columbia.
It is a spicy mix of different older south american rhythms and dances blended together to give us our modern day version. Coming from the Mambo craze made popular in the 50s and 60s in New york. Salsa Clubs can be found in nearly every major city in the world.
