ABOUT THE TEACHERSWe’re delighted to have Joanne and Graham Clarke from Tees Valley Salsa joining us for this month’s Salsa for Charity night!
They’ll be kicking things off with a fun and friendly Bachata class. Joanne and Graham teach weekly Salsa and Bachata classes in Yarm, near Middlesbrough, and run their popular Tees Valley Salsa Socials on the first Saturday of each month.
Their teaching style is clear, encouraging and full of positive energy, with a real focus on making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. We’re in for a great start to the evening!
THE CHOSEN CAUSE
This month’s Salsa for Charity night is a little different — we’re dancing in a truly spectacular setting: Tynemouth Priory!
To say thank you for letting us use this incredible venue, half of the money raised will go directly to English Heritage, helping them care for and preserve this historic site, along with hundreds of others across the country.
English Heritage brings history to life and protects some of the most iconic landmarks in the UK, making places like Tynemouth Priory accessible and unforgettable for all of us.
So come dance with us under the open sky, surrounded by centuries of history — and help protect it for generations to come.
