Rueda Classes -

Attention all salsa dancers

La Rueda de Casino "... quite possibly the most fun you can have on a dance floor" (if you don't take it too seriously that is)

Well, we at SalsaBelfast are trying hard not to take it too serious but at the same time we want to further the reach of 'La Rueda' among the dancing fraternity in our wee part of the world. For those of you who don't know ... its Salsa, cuban style, danced in a circle or wheel where you execute 'moves' or 'calls' synchronous with everyone else, changing partners often and its non-stop!

Would you like to join us? ... we'd love to see you!

Whether you are a complete Rueda virgin or have got the bug elsewhere and wanna learn more, be it beginner, improver or intermediate we would love to see you. All we ask is that you are a salsa dancer first, and are comfortable with rhythm and basic salsa steps/moves

We meet every Wednesday evening in All Souls Church Hall (on Elmwood Rd (at the Lisburn Rd end), opposite Starbucks and just behind the church itself), there's plenty of parking round the back too so its convenient.

Beginners and Improvers are at 6.30-7.30 (approx)
Intermediate is at 7.30 till about 9 (when Richards' west coast swing class takes over)

Cost £5 per class

Give me a shout or email us at SalsaBelfast if you are interested at all
or just call in and say 'Hi', we'll be there.

Hope to see you soon

Jeff
