🌟 We Have Moved!

'Salsa Latina' has officially moved to a NEW Studio - Starting from this Monday!

The New studio is all setup ready to go! It's only 3 blocks away, bigger and better dance floor for class, tons of free parking behind the studio & no staircase. Please note the entrance is on the rear of the building not the street side....


A heartfelt thank you to everyone who assisted with the move over the weekend; it was wonderful to see everyone pitching in, and we had a great time doing it.


🌟 x2 Performance Courses Starting

We have a brand new Salsa On2 course starting on Thursdays 3rd of April at 8:30pm

and also a Salsa Mixed Shines team coming soon on Sundays 20th April at 4pm, to qualify you need to be at the Imp-Int level and above - ideally more than 6 months dancing Salsa. ...... see this page for details >


🌟 Platinum Card UPDATE#2

As we recently updated last week the 2 for 1 offer is no longer available, but, we have also made a recent corrective change for level-2 platinums as below.

New Offer:

- Platinum Level-1 - $5 for any beginner 101 class ( > 50% off )

- Platinum Level-2 - FREE for any beginner 101 class (Updated)

- Platinum Level-2 - $5 for Imp-Int 201+ class  ( > 50% off )

🌟 NEW Salsa Inter-Advanced

For all intermediate and higher levels, we are bringing back the mixed level class for intermediate and advanced students on Tuesdays at 8:30pm. In this class, we will teach On1 and On2 styles, accommodating all levels from intermediate to advanced with a refreshed syllabus. This change is to accommodate a new performance Salsa On2 class on Thursday.


🌟 Salsa Beginners Tuesday is Canceled ...But!

Tuesday Salsa Beginners class at 6:15 pm has been canceled starting due to the studio relocation & booking issues. We encourage participants to join the New Thursday Salsa Beginner class at 6:15 pm on the April 3rd, or to rejoin us on Tuesdays when the course starts on May 6th. In both scenarios, you will still receive a Free 1st class during week#1. Additionally, we are offering another FREE class due to the changes for those that have only just started dancing, just mention this when you turn up to a class and show your concession card if you have one. You can get a Free class on Week#2, Week#3 or Week#4.


🌟 Salsa Tuesdays Starts 10mins Later Temporarily

Also due to the Tuesday beginners all Tuesday classes start slightly later, all kicking off 7:40pm instead of 7:30pm for the next few weeks, this is becuase there is a booking prior (just for a few weeks). See timetable for details

🌟 Free Salsa Beginner Class - Starts THIS Thursday

A brand new Salsa course for absolute beginners is set to kicks off on Thursday 6:15pm 3rd of April at our new studio, or for those that want to repeat this level to improve.
