With another big weekend of salsa coming up, not much of an intro to our weekly newsletter. Instead we have stuffed information about 22 chances for you to have fun, meet new people, learn and keep fit. 

Our listings have been around for over 10 years. The teacher/host promoters list and maintain their own dance activities and it is totally free for them and you.  Hence you'll discover new and revitalised opportunities to dance, so if you haven't visited recently, come on into www.londonsalsa.co.uk.

We attempt to titivate dancers of all levels, whether taking a first step or seasoned gurus looking for the perfect party. We introduce drop in lessons, courses and even intensive days. Want to try kizomba or bachata, please use our sister sites www.bachata.events and www.londonkizomba.co.uk.

Experienced salsa dancers know many of the tricks and one of them is to take a change of clothes for your after dance journey home. Where you've become hot and sweaty, far better to change than to allow the cold weather to freeze you up.

If I can't get your dance juices flowing with this selection, then please visit LondonSalsa.co.uk, which is crammed with great nights out and excellent teachers.
