salsa bristol
Salsa Bristol is one of the longest-running Salsa and Latin dance schools in the
South West region. Over the 11 years we have been running, we have had students
from all walks of life and of all ages (from 18 to 70s!). Besides running our
weekly classes, parties, and special events, we have taught at charity events,
primary schools (including children and adults with special needs), and even Red
Arrows pilots! Salsa Bristol's founder, Wayne, recognised how daunting it could
be to go from a beginners level, to “improvers” – as a result, we were one of
the first to bring in “jumpers” lessons to bridge the gap between these dance
levels. Wayne Wayne and ClareWayne started dancing salsa in 2006. Not being the
fastest learner he found it hard as a beginner to learn the turn patterns, keep
the timing, lead the leads and think about what move to lead next without
putting in 10 or 20 mambos first. He decided that so many others must struggle
in a similar way that a new method could be taught in the form of weekly courses
as opposed to drop-in classes. Having given much thought to this and realising
that this wasn't being done elsewhere (certainly not in the South West) he spent
the next 18 months travelling the West Country trying different teachers and
learning not just what works but also learning what doesn't work so well! This
concept soon became popular, and several companies have tried to copy a similar
format, without the same success! Read more... Clare Clare fans 150x150pxClare
had already been dancing since she was a young girl before she joined Salsa
Bristol in around 2010. She progressed quickly, joining the team as a teaching
assistant and eventually making her way to the "top" as head teacher, taking
beginners and jumpers classes at our weekly events and teaching at Salsa
Bristol's monthly parties at Fry's. Clare also teaches private lessons for
individuals, school children, parties and other functions.
