NEW weekly Cuban salsa class in Cambridge on Thursdays!

Cambridge Cuban Salsa is CCS_flyer_2011_back.jpg very excited to announce the launch of the new THURSDAY SALSA SOCIAL CLUB on January 19th. Don't miss the opening day, there will be FREE CDs and a RAFFLE. We are soooo looking forward to this!

What is this all about:

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
THURSDAY SALSA SOCIAL CLUB
Every Thursday, 19:30-23:45
Cambridge Working Men's Club,
125 East Road, Cambridge CB1 1DB. (Opposite the Crown Court.)
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

This is the project which might bring your Cuban salsa to a whole new level. The Thursday Salsa Social Club, that is:

THE CLASSES

  • 19:30-20:30 : a 50' SPECIALTY WORKSHOP for all levels, in styles related to Cuban salsa, such as Cha Cha Cha, body movement, Son, Rumba, Orishas, Bachata, musicality, techniques such as dancing on fast tracks, dancing in small spaces etc. EVERY WEEK A NEW THEME: diversity, to make your dancing really rich and three dimensional, and lots of fun discovering new styles and new techniques!
  • 20:30-21:30: a 50' CLASS OF CUBAN SALSA at 3 levels, beginners / improvers / intermediates. Each level has a programme of moves attached to it. LEARN FASTER AND IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE WITH A STRUCTURED SYLLABUS: think learning to read, first you learn the letters, then the words, then the sentences. At each stage you know exactly what your level is, you get clear explanations and you have enough material to enjoy dancing with confidence at your own level. Bye bye confusion!
  • SPECIAL BEGINNERS SALSA COURSE: beginners will be led through our specially designed beginners syllabus which aims at giving new dancers all the necessary basics to have fun with salsa right from the start. This course will boost your confidence before joining the improvers class. No partner needed, as you will be introduced to other dancers of the same level.
  • QUALIFIED TEACHERS AND RESPONSIBLE TEACHING: BEKI SAUNDERS (www.dancevisions.co.uk) is your guest teacher every week. She is qualified from both the IDTA and the ISTD. DJ SACHA has followed a UKA teacher training. They have both been noticeable members of the UK's Cuban salsa scene for many years, and have been actively training with widely recognized teachers such as Kerry Ribchester, Ariel Rios and others. Positive energy to lift your mood, wide smiles and fun jokes, yet a solid knowledge of Cuban salsa and no compromise whatsoever on responsible teaching.

A MIXED TEACHING COUPLE: as much advice for the ladies as for the gents!
WE START ON TIME: more dancing for the social!

THE VENUE CCS_flyer_2011_front.jpg

It's all superlatives and it can't get any better:

  • Central location. Free parking available.
  • Large, wooden dance floor. Effective air conditioning.
  • Low cost bar (e.g., £1.60 for a pint of lager).

The dance space has its own bar, separated from the regular pub area, which means no hassle from non-salsa patrons.

THE PARTY

Oooooh my gooood:

  • 21:30 - BOOOOM! Maximum Cuban party with DJ SACHA on the decks.

As you know, that means: a balanced blend of all-time favourites and cutting edge unreleased new tracks which give you an irresistible urge to dance and which boost up your mood for the rest of the MONTH!

  • The party is TOTALLY FREE for members (see membership below).

With a low cost bar. And a great DJ. And some quality party lighting. And a fine tuned sound system. And lots of happy people. 'Nuff said, you wouldn't believe. Just try it and see for yourself!

So:
1) call your friends
2) book your table by calling 01223 464 630
and then on the night:
3) have a fantastic meal with your friends
4) shake your bottom to the sound of the best salsa music in town, and start 2012 with a phenomenal salsa bang.

SURE BEATS TV, DOESN'T IT? :-)

(Dancing starting after dinner, likely around 10pm though we might do some line-ups in the meantime to circulate all that tasty food.)

"I am hoping to see you there to share the good times."
Enjoy!

LAZARO LOPEZ in CAMBRIDGE for LEANDRO'S 100% CUBAN PARTY in MAY!

When: Saturday, 8th May 2010 -- 20:00 - 02:00
Where: Romsey Labour Club, Mill Road off Coleridge Road, CB1 3NL

Come party with Leandro at the Romsey Labour Club, Cuban style!

Special guest teachers/performers:

!!! LAZARO LOPEZ !!!

Wow. We are getting Lazaro Lopez in Cambridge. You might have seen him dancing some mesmerizing rumbas on stage with Los Van Van or Manolito. You might have taken a brilliant rueda class with him in one of the UK's main Cuban salsa congresses, or in a major Cuban party in London. He is one of the most respected Cuban salsa teachers and performers in the UK, not least because he is also a babalao, a highly ranked persona in Cuba's Santeria religion. And he is going to come to Cambridge to teach and perform during Leandro's 100% Cuban party. Wow.

Welcoming Lazaro in Cambridge is both a chance and an honor:
DON'T MISS, BE PART OF THIS RARE AND GREAT EVENT!

Some samples of Lazaro's dancing:



Free class, great performance, good size dancefloor, Havana Club rum at rock bottom prices, friendly atmosphere, open till 2am... It doesn't get any better for a great salsa night out on a Saturday.

Programme:

8pm : doors open
8.15pm : exclusive Rueda class with Lazaro and Leandro.
9.30pm: DJ Sacha at the decks with the best and most recent of Timba, Salsa Cubana, Son, Rumba, Reggaeton and Bachata.
11pm: show with Lazaro Lopez.

£8.- at the door
Unbeatable bar prices.
Party open until 2.00am.
Guaranteed Cuban atmosphere.
