Fourth Saturday of the month, so it must be us!
And it is October so we are getting spooked! Theme is the Toy Horror Story, so getting into spirit and fancy dressing is very welcome.
Come, join our fabulous community event where we learn, practice, get lost in the music, chat, hang out and have a jolly good time.

Of course we have free entry for fellow dance teachers in recognition of their work and commitment to growing our dancing community.
Our wristband policy:
There’s the normal stripey wristband that 95% wear and you can totally ask them to dance.
We have the blue “I brought watermelons” wristband, which is for those who have not done any classes, have no clue what they are doing and want some guidance from dancers.
We also have the red, “please don’t ask” wristband. This was introduced after lockdown when not everyone was comfortable being close to strangers. It is now for anyone who is recovering from injury, illness, chemo… anything that will make them vulnerable to falls or injuries and they can only dance with their safe partners who know what not to do and where not to touch, to not aggravate their condition. Please don’t ask anyone with red wristband and don’t enquire what their health problem is.
Music policy: 85-90% salsa, any era, any style, starting slow to help our beginners find their feet, and letting you practice your new moves, gradually getting more complex and faster. Splash of kizomba, bachata, cha cha cha, and I'll play you 1 merengue.
This is a venue ran by volunteers, with a very cheap bar and a very good supply of non-alcoholic drinks for drivers alongside your usual booze. Please support the bar and don't bring your own drinks.
Venue is easily accessible by public transport and parking on street in the evening is free.
See you there! 🙂
