Enrique Perez & his partner Rob Carroll run an excellent evening of salsa at Bar So in Bournemouth every Wednesday. There are bachata workshops from 7:30pm to 8:30pm followed by Cuban salsa workshops from 8:45pm until 10:30pm. All levels are catered for with the one and only Moe Flex usually providing the advanced level for bachata & salsa. See the facebook page I Love Salsa Bournemouth for more information.
The workshops are followed by social dancing until 1am with a good selection of salsa & bachata music by DJs Moe and Enrique with the occasional kizomba. Although the salsa lessons are Cuban there are plenty of ladies attending who can follow cross body though most of the men do lead Cuban style!
As an proponent of Puerto Rican Salsa Romantica it’s not a problem for me to vary what I lead according to the preferences of the lady. (Puerto Rican means the best of cross body & cubana and Salsa Romantica means smooth & sensual.)
Timetable
- 7:30pm Bachata workshops for various levels
- 8.45pm Cuban Salsa classes for all levels in 5 Rooms
- 10:15pm Salsa Social with DJs Moe and Enrique which is when I arrive!

Winter Gardens Car Park 1 is the best place to park only a hundred yards from the venue! Drive down the hill (Exeter Road) and turn first left. Drive past the Truth Nightclub and turn left into the car park then left again to park as close as possible to the venue.

Philip Wake Seems to me the mix tonight had a few too many kizombas for a salsa club. I was pleased to see and dance with Krystyna again after a long break and enjoyed some energetic dances with Edyta and another lady whose name I have forgotten. A total beginner called Veronika didn’t think she had rhythm but she followed me really well for the three basic moves (mambo, cross body & clockwise turn) and said she would take part in lessons next week! I danced with a few other beginners too as these ladies are the salseras of tomorrow who will one day give me unforgettable dances even if I am getting forgetful in my old age regarding their names! 😉 ❤️
