On Wednesday we have a 2 levels of salsa classes as usual starting at 19.30. Everyone’s welcome. You don’t need a partner and the dress code is just casual evening wear.
Beginners: learn the basics of timing and movement, as well as some fundamental salsa moves! (we recommend 6 weeks at this level before moving up).
Improvers/intermediate: This class is suitable for improver-level dancers onwards and will teach you turn patterns with a strong focus on great technique and connection. We love teaching you the tricks for keeping your dancing controlled and getting you ready for busy dance floors!
**Party:**
From 20.30 the party will be kicking off! Then our fab DJs, Julian and Gwyneth, will be playing the best Salsa and Bachata tunes.
Approximately once a month, because our fab team needs a break sometimes, the night will be taken over by Sergio Fernandez who will teach a improver level *BACHATA* lesson and then DJ for us (50/50 salsa and bachata from 9pm, with a dash of kizomba).
The whole evening is only £6 (or £4 OUSS members).
See you there!
