A cute lil Christmas Party at the gorgeous new queer venue ✨ Love Affair Basement ✨
right below A Portuguese Love Affair who have created the space 🥰
Beginners Class ❄️
Designed to give everyone the basics needed to understand the rhythm of salsa, some footwork and partner work (we will ask you whether you want to Lead or Follow during the class)
There will be less of a focus on technique compared to our courses and more emphasis on feeling the music, having fun and preparing to dance as part of the social.
You can definitely come alone to this - it's a wonderful way to meet new people, as we swap throughout so you can dance with everyone. However, if you wanna stick with your friend or boo that's totally fine too 🥰
Spots are very limited for this so get them while you can! A class ticket grants you free access to the Social afterwards.
About the Dance Social ❄️
Our socials are open to all levels, which is why we are starting with the class. We’ll also be actively facilitating the social by helping you meet new people, guiding you through how it works, and making it easy to approach new dance partners. For the first hour of the social (20:00 - 21:00), some of the more experienced dancers in the community will be taking on the role of Guardian Dancers and will be there specifically to dance with newcomers and beginners.
Welfare & Accessibility ❄️
Along with the Teachers and Host Dancers from the community, there will be a Welfare Team Member floating around the event. They will be there to give any extra support on moves as well as any needs or concerns you might have in order to feel safe and comfy in the space.
We are actively working on making our events as safe and inclusive as possible. Please get in contact with any additional needs you might have that would be useful for us to know about.
Tickets ❄️
There are limited spots available for the class and social. Depending on capacity we will sell tickets OTD for the social for £7 - so try to get them online if you can.
Low income are reserved for people on Universal Credit or similar, minimum wage and working-class students. They are limited so please really consider before taking a spot 🥰
No-one turned away for lack of funds. Please get in contact if you would like to attend but can't afford the prices.
