Another cute lil party at the gorgeous queer venue ✨ Love Affair Basement ✨
Right below A Portuguese Love Affair who have created the space 🌱🌺
We’ll be playing a couple more romantic tunes (and of course some bb benito bad bunny). Celebrating lovers in all forms so pls feel free to come with your boo, pals or alone. We are big on supporting everyone to meet new ppl through partner dance both platonically and romantically ✨
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 dance 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.
We will be playing majority Salsa, some Bachata then throwing in things like Merengue. Will also be taking requests ✨
Welfare & Accessibility 💟
Along with the Teachers and Host Dancers from the community, there will be a Host floating around the event to give any extra support on helping everyone to feel 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 £8 - so try to get them online if you can.
No-one turned away for lack of funds. Please get in contact if you would like to attend but can't afford the prices.
