The clubs and classes are filling up again, as most are home from holidays and life returns to normal. The beginners sessions are overflowing with people who've heard that salsa is fun, is a good, healthy activity and a great place to meet a new crowd of people. 

Most regular dancers remember those first few weeks that can be quite daunting, the 123-567 sounds easy but getting our feet to move wasn't natural. We've a couple of articles on site that may help some of you.  See beginners article (part 1).

Our top tip for beginners this week is : Ask anyone for a dance, you should get a yes.
Our top tip for all dancers : Just say yes.

In our newsletter, we try and fit in something special for all levels of dancer, whether looking for lessons and courses, or, for the experienced, the big parties, club nights, and holidays.

On site you'll find lessons On1, On2, Cuban, Cali, Rueda and some fusion styles. And some of the bachata and kizomba promoter/teacher/hosts list with us as well as www.bachata.events or www.londonkizomba.co.uk.

Or please try the Global Dance Card app.
