As we close out another year of dance classes, our December classes will mix things up with Salsa and Rueda!
Join us from 2nd - 16th DECEMBER 2025 and learn to dance in a fun and friendly environment.
We will retain our Salsa Fundamentals class to kick things off - perfect if you just finished our latest course and want to keep learning.
Note: The content will be adapted each week to suit the students who attend.
Instead of our Improver class, we will be running 3 weeks of Rueda (the wheel). A group dance using salsa steps - it's a whole lot of fun!
Suitable for anyone who is confident in their basic salsa steps.

Instructor Bios:
Cedric stumbled across Salsa dancing whilst at university. Having attended workshops and congresses across the UK and beyond, he has learnt from many top teachers from around the world. Teaching a variety of Latin dances since 2011, he emphasises clear, precise learning and following technique, and mixes simple spins with more complex flicks and tricks to create an engaging array of moves that flow from one to the next. In developing a keen ear for Latin music, Cedric uses this to influence his dancing style, and enjoys DJing a range of traditional and modern music to get everyone up on the dancefloor!
