So the heatwave seems to have dissipated and our salsa clubs and classes are filling again.  Personally I liked the extra space to allow expansive dance.

Before getting into the news of new lessons, monthly parties and great nights out, I have a request of you, our members.

LondonSalsa.co.uk obviously is free for you to explore and we encourage all the teachers and promoters to list without charge.  However this causes a commercial conundrum as there are hosting charges etc. that need covering.

I wonder whether any of you work at, or know people, associated to an ethical organisation that may like to sponsor the site or any part of the A2Z.Events network? 
If so, we'd be very grateful for contact via leigh@londonsalsa.co.uk or 0208 998 1551.
