 FRINGE THEATRE "DANCE SCHOOL"

Had 4 stars and a great review from Time Out

“It’s also a dance piece, whose pace shifts interestingly as the story develops;

from the lighthearted learning of the wedding number where Tom’s awkward

moves are a joy, to the wonderfully choreographed scenes between Eva and

her teacher that contrast with the fraught hostility between her and Tom.

LONDON SALSA REVIEW

“At London Salsa we like to keep up with all things Salsa happening in London so we went along to Salsatricity on Saturday night in Barnet. Heather and her team teach ….concentrating on footwork and understanding rather than routines. Being a trained school teacher she understands learning and has more men than women at the class (is that a first for a Salsa class?), and judging by the amount of good men dancers, she seems to be doing a great job. On this night she also ran a Bachata class. The club was buzzing. Around 120+ attended but there was still enough room for the dancers to stretch themselves. The music was first class, being provided by DJ Julian ‘The Duke’, and the age range was an even mix from 20s right up to 60s. It was a great night with a very friendly atmosphere and some great dancing. You should check it out, we’ll be going again. LS”

WORKSHOPS IN MANY LATIN AND POPULAR DANCES

NOVEMBER 19th 3-5 CHA CHA

Click here for map of venue

SALSA is a style of music…

which has its origins in Cuba where an exotic blend of religious drum beats carried over by the slave trade from the African West Coast, and the Spanish troubadour introducing the flamenco guitar creating the Cuban Son….add to this the English/French country dance theme brought in by the French fleeing from Haiti…and you have Latin style of music ‘salsa’.

During the 1898 War US soldiers visiting the island got a taste for the music and as early as 1909 radio recording were coming out of Cuba. During prohibition Americans traveled the 90 miles from Florida to Cuba where alcohol was legal and by the early 20th century many Americans were incorporating the latin rhythms into their own music…W C Hardy was the first but Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz…are but a few to be inspired by this infectious rhythm.

The dance was a natural progression.

It is danced on music with a recurring 8 beat-pattern, using 3 steps every 4 with one beat skipped or paused. Often this is marked out by a tap, kick or flick

The name salsa was created in The US and given to the cocktail of partner dances that leapt the Caribbean sea with the Americans and Cubans who fled from Cuba following the revolution in 1958…..a communist revolution in this Caribbean island lead to a change in world thinking….and the start of the spread of this beautiful and sensuous dance.

Salsa can also be danced solo, or in a ‘wheel’ called rueda…where dancers have to listen to a call not unlike county or line dancing.

The Cuban dances were well received in the USA but were difficult to pronounce. They appeared hot and spicy so were given the name ‘salsa’ after a sauce with a similar feel. However the numerous Cuban partner dancers, from which salsa originated, were for all ages and danced at family occasions and were not intended to be a hot and steamy nightclub dance. Today in Cuba it is still danced in cafes and bars during the day and evening…

The American added their style to the dance and exported it to Britain around the 1980’s…this created the New York or LA salsa with the more pronounced cross body style.

After the collapse of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Union in the early 1990’s another wave of Cuban emigrated to Europe bringing the dance to our shores straight from Cuba. Cuban salsa tends to flow around the partner, with less shines.

Today we see a mix of Cuban and American influence. We teach the basic steps so you can add your own style…and go to any club and feel comfortable.

SALSATRICITY

was created to teach you an understanding of the dance, with professional and fully qualified instructors.

We meet every SATURDAY and run back to basic, beginners, improvers, intermediates and an advance class 8-9.40pm, with Tasters/Workshops and Add-ons to improve your understanding of Salsa and other Dances. After the classes we stay open for ‘free’ dancing to practice the moves until 1pm, Salsa in the Main hall…Kizomba in the room upstairs

And the price?…..Just £8 which includes as many classes as you like, and then club afterwards until 1am ( £5 after midnight)

We would love to see you there; what ever level you dance to you will definitely improve….and enjoy….all it takes is time and practice….even teachers and promoters come and enjoy

QUOTES FROM SOME OF YOUR EMAILS:

“Fantastic advanced salsa class & music..very satisfying.”.

Hi Heather, Saturday was simply great! Your club is brilliant and has the perfect atmosphere and decor for salsa. I will definitely come back!

“we had a lovely evening, lots of nice people and atmosphere.Thanks,”

“Thanks for the hospitality – You have a lovely crowd of friendly dancers. I also enjoyed our dance. Hopefully again soon”

“What a lovely email. I have to say that even on my first visit to your club you made me feel so very welcome which helped me make up my mind to restart my dancing with you.

On my last visit I opted to go into your improver’s class but changed my mind at the last minute and went into the intermediates. I learnt loads in the process and realised how rusty I have become. Just getting the feedback of relaxing more and to watch your partner’s hands made such a big difference.

That night I was absolutely shattered and had to leave early, but I will be back soon.

So Heather I just wanted to thankyou again for being such a warm and beautiful spirit. I’ve certainly found my salsa heaven.”

“I’ll definitely try and come out to one of your venues soon. You have a really good atmosphere going at your place.”

Michael wrote:“great night and when the next one.xx”

Yogi wrote:“Hi Heather, look forward to palenke . Was a fun night as usual.xxx”

“Had a great time with the beginner you learn so much taking on the other role..! Then had some amazing dances – there were some brilliant dancers there on Saturday, lots of fun!”

D.j. wrote:”thank-you, really enjoyable night )

as I said last-night, congratulations on building such a successful night so quickly! xx”

“I have just seen your website and Facebook pages and your club sounds really good. I am looking forward to trying it out on Saturday”

What an absolutely brilliant night last night, I danced all night, Coco Express were fantastic again, and you are always the best hostess!!! xxxxx”

“Salsa Heaven”…I like that!!! Hope you have all found yours…I love working with my team and seeing you all every week…I have found mine!!
