This could just be the perfect weekend in London, with the weather set to hold fine and plenty of opportunities to learn to dance at all levels and obviously to party away each evening.

Many members have noticed that although we are London Salsa and predominantly list salsa based activities in London, we do list many venues, classes and parties that have bachata and kizomba rooms, and some are not even based in London. 

For instance, when you quote A2Z, you can claim £10 off full passes to the Ginga Boo Kizz Festival UK 2nd Summer Edition in Milton Keynes on 26-28th July, which is predominantly kizomba, urban kiz, semba and afrohouse.  We hope this interests some members but, if not, scooch down the page for a plethora of salsa events.
 

Friday's session in Putney includes a bachata lesson for all before all-level salsa classes and a lively social.

There is a free Funky Friday in Stratford this week.
Salsa Dance Central offer members a free introductory lesson on Gower Street.

In Paddington on Saturday there is a choice between learning the basics of salsa in a day or a learn bachata in a day workshop with Caramelo.

Take your salsa style somewhere new and different so you gain an objective view of where you want to go with your salsa style, with an intermediate plus day time Salsa Spins workshop at Bar Salsa in Soho this Sunday.

The Spring Spectacular scalalatina Allnighter unfortunately will the be the last one of the longest running event in the same venue, over 17 years, 
With activities from 6pm till 6am, you can enjoy a choice of 30 workshops in salsa, bachata, cha cha, urban kiz and kizomba from international and UK based teachers, many of whom will perform at showcases later in the evening.

Social dancing is in 4 rooms, with over 1200 dancers expected in Kings Cross on Bank Holiday Sunday.

Beware that some of the regular Monday night venues and classes may be shut due to the public holiday.

Brand new to this site and launching on bank holiday Monday at Lakeside, are new salsa and bonus lesson sessions followed by social dancing.  DJ is the DJ for the launch party.

The rest of the week should be fine, with classes and parties thoughout the midweek, many with a special offer for you.

In Temple, on Tuesday, the FREE taster of dance lesson starts at 7pm, whilst club dancers can book their guest list spot before 4pm. 

Quote LS126 in Hammersmith for the FREE absolute beginners lesson that takes place contempotaneously to the multiple other level of class. Social dancers are welcome to join the practice session afterwards, leading to fun for all till 11pm.

I will try to get an early newsletter out next week again but heads up that Thursday 31st May is the monthly Thursday after work social in Holborn with Pexava.

Assuming the sun shares its goodness with us, I think all Londoners and our visitors are set for what could be just about the ideal bank holiday, with a balance of outdoor, daytime fun followed with nights of dance,

Wishing all a good one, 

Leigh and the London Salsa team
