I always look forward to being part of the biggest and best monthly salsa dancing venue in the UK which is El Grande at Scala from 21:30 to 05:00 – 4 rooms for salsa, cubana, bachata & kizomba – often attended by more than 1200 dancers! Entry is £12 whether you do the lessons or not. The venue is Scala just a few hundred yards down the road from King’s Cross St. Pancras Tube Station at 275 Pentonville Rd, Kings Cross, London N1 9NL. There’s always somewhere to park for free in the surrounding roads – you just have to drive round until you find somewhere.
I usually arrive around 9:30pm and do the improvers lesson and then dance the night away until around 3am when I am usually ready to leave because my salsa soul has been fulfilled or sometimes because I have overheated, have run out of shirts or am knackered!
Please see the facebook event on the El Grande London page for details for this particular night but the usual timetable is:
09:00 Doors open
09:30 Lesson at various levels for each dance genre in the 4 rooms
10:30 Social dancing
01:00 (approx) Performances
01:15 (approx) Social dancing continues
04:55 kizomba, cuban & bachata rooms close
05:00 salsa room closes and time to go home

feeling excited with Gery Vakufova and 20 others.
Looking forward to salsa dancing El Grande Returns Friday 15th February with Philip Frost & Leoncio Caicedo mostly in the main salsa room but occasionally in the Cuban room at the top to cool off with the big fans and the cool Cuban dancing ladies. See you there at 9:30pm for the improvers’ lesson and the social dancing afterwards around 10:30 – click on the link below for details. I like to do the improvers lesson for a fun warm up and to give the ladies at least one man who can lead the lesson well.
