Join us Downstairs for a vibrant Salsa Night with Dalston Salsa, where music, movement, and community come together in a lively, welcoming setting. There are two sessions to choose from, both have beginner options. The bar will be open throughout the evening and the third session will be a free dance as you build your confidence on the dance floor.
As the night unfolds, enjoy a mix of salsa and Latin beats in a relaxed, social atmosphere that’s perfect for both newcomers and experienced dancers. Tickets are £5.50 and includes a welcome drink.
In cuban salsa partnerwork you have two people dancing together - a leader and a follower. The leader (usually male) choreographs the dance (ie chooses what to do) and the follower (usually female) learns to respond to the leader's movements and energy to match them. We teach leaders and followers in the same class, but you learn different things that fit together. Anyone can lead or follow, but we suggest people learn to lead OR follow, rather than trying to learn both at the same time. When booking, please can you book as a leader or a follower as fits your preference - this helps the organisers with planning, so there are roughly equal numbers of both leaders and followers in the class.
