This could just be the perfect weekend in London, with the weather set to hold fine and plenty of opportunities to learn to dance at all levels and obviously to party away each evening.
Many members have noticed that although we are London Salsa and predominantly list salsa based activities in London, we do list many venues, classes and parties that have bachata and kizomba rooms, and some are not even based in London.
For instance, when you quote A2Z, you can claim £10 off full passes to the Ginga Boo Kizz Festival UK 2nd Summer Edition in Milton Keynes on 26-28th July, which is predominantly kizomba, urban kiz, semba and afrohouse. We hope this interests some members but, if not, scooch down the page for a plethora of salsa events.
