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 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.

We wish all those who are at the All Ireland Dance Congress.
