2019-10-26: El Bembe Salsa Party at Editors Tap London!

On: By: Philip Wake
Salsateca London and Ola Latina run a regular event called El Bembe every 4th Saturday of the month at Editor's Tap. The atmosphere is very friendly as it was at The Bottlescrue for 6 years but the dance floor is better with air conditioning that actually works well! I always have a good time dancing to the motivational music of DJ Johnny Gee! Format: The venue offers plenty of space for dancing mainly salsa and bachata in a long room parallel to the extensive bar. Timetable: 7:15 Read more [...]

2019-09-06: Que Rico Salsa Party at White Eagle Club Balham!

On: By: Philip Wake
Miguel Mayana runs this salsa event in Balham at the White Eagle Club (aka Hamilton House) on the first Friday of every month. It is a welcome rebirth of the Que Rico event which used to run on the 2nd Friday of each month at The Bedford in Balham last year until it had to be closed for refurbishment. This venue has a luxurious ballroom for salsa dancing - big enough for 500 dancers I'd say. The bachata area is quite small but adequate for those who prefer sideways salsa! 😉 The ballroom has air Read more [...]

2019-02-09: Salsa Fusion at 229 The Venue London!

On: By: Philip Wake

For details about this 1st first Saturday of the month (and sometimes the 3rd) salsa event see the facebook page: Salsa - Fusion. There is rarely a shortage of good salseras to dance with and there's always the Cuban room to cool down when you get overheated because it's a smaller room with several enormous fans and Cubana can be less strenuous but it rarely happens that way for me! I always seem to attract ladies who like to go crazy on the dance floor . . . which I love of course . . . dancing Read more [...]

On: By: Philip Wake

Fadi K runs events called ABCD from time to time - meaning AnyBody Can Dance - and the details of the latest one can be seen on the facebook event. I have been to most of them and would never miss the party night of these superb events for all the coffee in Brazil!  This is where I first met the most charming of all the salseras in the world today: Rasa - before she became world famous and I remember having a glorious salsa dance with her on that occasion and many others since.
