🌺🪩 One Monday a month at Walthamstow Trades Hall 🪩🌺
With a huge lovely dance floor, AC, a stage, and a disco ball - we’re so excited to be running monthly classes and dance socials at the Trades Hall! 🥰
We’re now able to offer two classes per night (!!) each month these will change, so check what we have on and whether it's the right level for you. The dance social from 9pm will always be free ✨✨✨
🎟️ Updated Ticketing Info
We’re updating our ticketing system to better manage class capacity. This Monday, we’re running two separate 1-hour classes:
- Tickets are £9 per class
- Very limited £15 class combo ticket if you’d like to attend both classes. Please note: combo tickets are for one person attending both classes, they can’t be shared between two people.
Class Tickets Online Only
If online booking isn’t possible for you, feel free to DM us or speak to us on the night, we’ll do our best to make it work.
Free Dance Social
No need for a ticket for the Dance Social 9–11pm as it's now free 😘
🌺 Coming Solo & Dance Partners
You don't need to bring a dance partner and are very welcome to come alone to these events. We switch partners throughout the classes and will support you in meeting new ppl.
If you are coming with a friend, boo or date and want to stick together, just let us know at the start of the class and we can facilitate that.
🌺 7–8pm | Beginners Sensual Bachata (ticketed)
Our first time teaching Sensual Bachata with an incredible dancer from our community, Muse, leading a class for the first time 🥰
Sensual Bachata focuses on connection and musicality, with movements that emphasise the upper body, arms, and body rolls. It’s a more fluid and intimate style compared to Traditional Bachata, which leans more heavily on footwork.
Designed for total beginners, those building confidence, or more experienced dancers wanting to try a new role.
We’ll cover rhythm, basic footwork, and partner work (you’ll let us know if you want to Lead or Follow).
This class is less about technique and more about feeling the music, connecting with dance partners and learning how to dance socially.
🌺 8–9pm | Beginners Level Cross Body Salsa (ticketed)
Cross Body Salsa is the main style we teach at Queer Salsa and very popular in London and Europe. Unlike Cuban or Cali Salsa, it's danced in a line with partners switching places, giving more space for spins and linear moves.
Designed for total beginners, those building confidence, or more experienced dancers wanting to try a new role.
We’ll cover rhythm, basic footwork, and partner work (you’ll let us know if you want to Lead or Follow).

🌺 9–11pm | All Levels Salsa Dance Social (free)
Our socials are open to all, which is why we start with classes!
We’ll be actively supporting the social dance space, helping you meet new people and feel confident dancing. In the first hour, Guardian Dancers from the community will be around specifically to dance with newcomers and beginners.
We’ll be playing a mix of Bachata and Salsa for this one.
🌺 Welfare & Accessibility
Along with Teachers and Guardian Dancers, there’ll be a Host floating around to support you and help make the space comfy and welcoming.
