Eventually someone has turned the sun on in London and we're promised a fabulous weekend

My suggestion is Icecream for Breakfast, a healthy recipe from our favourite nutritionalist, Charlotte.
(BTW if you have a healthy recipe for salsa dancers, feel free to suggest it for our health section)

Without comparison the salsa scene in London is a barmy mix of dancers from all nationalities dancing On1, On2, Cuban and so on - a barmy but fun way to meet new friends and keep fit.

If you have just started salsa or have only just found London's bible of salsa, welcome, enjoy and please forgive me: I can't fit everything into a simple weekly newsletter thus encourage you to visit Londonsalsa.co.uk for even more.

Our 2019 Dance Survey "Dance and Me" really is just 9 questions about dance and you.

Please take 30 seconds to complete, as we are keen to learn about your dance habits, which will help us to work out how to entice more people to dance more often for better health and fun.

Polish up your dance shoes, the weekend is here.

The Putney Salsa Club is a one that has a happy salsa vibe, with classes in salsa and bachata plus social dancing every Friday night.

There is a 1-Day Intensive Salsa Beginners Course at Caramelo Latin Dance in Paddington on Saturday or the choice of a 1-day intensive bachata course.

There is £2 off classes for first time visitors, who are London Salsa members, this Saturday for the ML UK Summer Ball in Kingston, where a live band will make sure you dance till the wee hours.

Fancy a Cali salsa and Boogaloo Sunday workshop.

Based closer to Greenwich?
Your treat is the 16-piece live band, Here to Havana, live at the bandstand.
A free event with plenty of danceable tracks and hopefully still the sunshine

A brand new 5 week Beginners Salsa Course with Pexava starts on Tuesday in Northfields, West London

At Bar Salsa Soho on Wednesday, Metrolatina continues (after 20 years) to offer lessons at all levels in salsa and bachata.

This Wednesday is also the start of new 4-week courses in Paddington with Caramelo that cover salsa, mambo and kizomba.

The Caramelo special offers span all their courses that also include Thursday's salsa, bachata and individual styling, also in Paddington.

I had a quick spin through July's special events and can report that whether you are resident or just coming on holidays, there really is something for you every weekend.

I espy a Que Rico monthly party on the 1st Friday in July in Balham, a live salsa band night in Richmond on Sunday 7th, as well as the second outing for Salsa Clasica in Hornsey and Fulham's monthly salsa and bachata Sunday.

And that is just the first weekend in July.
Visit the site, follow us on Twitter or Facebook or download the Global Dance Card app for Android phones to build up your diary of social dancing during July. 

For July 26-28th, we highlight the Ginga Boo Kizz Festival UK 2nd SummerEdition in Milton Keynes.NB Quote A2Z for £10 off the full pass price

It is definitely worth booking early for the Thames Salsa Cruise on July 28th.

And one for your August diary is live salsa next to the bandstand in Hyde Park on 11th August.

I say it every week because I know you really could be dancing even more on the same budget : Book early and quote London Salsa, A2Z or Global Dance Card to ensure you get best prices!

Wishing the Lionesses in France the best of luck this weekend in the World Cup semi finals, good fortune to the English mens cricket team and, of course, to you, a joyful week of dance, 

Leigh and the London Salsa team
