Salsa dance schools sprouting up in London

May 25, 2006

Latest trend in London these days is a move towards Salsa instruction in a studio setting rather than in clubs. Instead of drop-in classes, the new studio classes offer a series of classes lasting 5-6 weeks. Two groups to watch in particular are Latin Dance Academy (headed by SuperMario, Susana Montero and others) and Alchemy Dance Academy (headed by Marchant Birch). Alchemy Dance Academy has only on-2 advanced classes scheduled, so it's beyond me for now. Latin Dance Academy has been offering taster classes for May (one more week left) and has 6-week courses slated to start on 6-7 June, 18-19 July, 29-30 August, 10-11 October, 21-22 November at 6 different levels (1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4). Very tempting - if nothing else to try a taster class or two for self-assessment.
