As the nights are draw in, Strictly is the the talk of the town, so the salsa dance floors of the capital become even more popular.
LondonSalsa is a completely free resource for you to find the very best places to learn and to play.
We encourage the teachers and promoters to update their free listing regularly - you can see whether you are getting fresh information by scrolling over the event/lesson on site.

When I first discovered the salsa community, I did so because I wanted to meet some new people and do a bit of exercise. Not only did I succeed but also learned some of the other benefits. So in one hit I had supplemented my social life, got my heart pumping a little bit harder and also found the peace that flows over when in tune with the music and my partner.

I share this with you as I know many of you experience the same, so I commend you to do like me and tell others who deserve some hours of happiness.
