For those who took up salsa earlier in the year, this party season is about to be the best you have ever had. You will already have gained the confidence to take to the dance floor, not only at the salsa clubs but even at the office party. When you get your deserved compliment, why not invite that partner to join you in a lesson?

Many of us already know the benefits associated to dancing, such as the physical, the social and the simple feelgood factor. I hope you'll help us to help others, simply by introducing salsa to them. Do you know someone who deserves to smile more often?

This week's newsletter, as always, is stuffed full of opportunities to dance and have fun. It is a mixture of where to find lessons of all levels, special courses, the opportunity to star as a dancer in a film and, of course, dance parties. 

You don't have to rely on the editor's selection - you are invited to check out the Londonsalsa.co.uk site, ukdance.events site, the uksalsa.dance site, the bachata.events site or the londonkizomba.co.uk site for more information and even the reviews of other dancers.

In fact we want you to get the very best information, so the data is added by the teachers and promoters for freshness and the reviews are made by people like you. Please add your own comments and help the next generation of dancers.

What a week.
No preamble.

The weekend begins with a bang, as there is an El Grande at the iconic venue, SCALA, in Kings Cross, where lessons in salsa, bachata and kizomba are followed in 4-rooms of dance with 1000+ dancers till 5am.

Also on Friday, but with an earlier start and finish, is Putney Salsa Club where lessons are followed by a friendly social.

Saturday evening is awash with options, including the free salsa evening in Stratford hosted by DJ Hughie and, for bachata fans, the bi-monthly Bachata Spice party in Kennington.
