Amoressssss 💖
Get ready to dance with pals, lovers and new friends to the rich and vibrant rhythms of Afro Latinx music and partner dance.
SALSOTEKA is back, III Edition mis amores. This time during the day and outside 🌞 bringing the heat to The Glove That Fits this Sunday 7th September 💃🏾💃🏾 A space to celebrate the soul of Afro Latinx culture and connect with one another through the joy of dancing together. Starting with 2 workshops it’s a space for all levels of dancer, from complete beginners of Afro-Latin partner dancing to more seasoned dancers.
3 - 4pm we’ll start with a complete Beginners Salsa class led by Queer Salsa. You’ll get to choose whether to lead or follow, and we’ll be switching partners throughout to help you meet new people. We’ll cover the basics, explore playful moves like spins, and most importantly, learn how to connect through rhythm and movement ✨
4 - 5pm Tropican Dance will be leading our first ever Merengue class. Merengue is a beautiful partner dance that can feel more rooted and connected than Salsa. The basic step is a little less complicated and slower, so you can really focus on moving your body to the rhythm. You’ll be dancing a bit closer to your dance partners (again we will be swapping throughout) so you’ll really learn the beauty of dancing with new people and connecting through movement.
By the end of the sessions, you’ll have danced with a bunch of new people and be more than ready for the afters.
Then from 5 PM, we open the dancefloor with an after party featuring Popola DJs Amancai and Ivicore.
Queer Salsa Guardian Dancers will be around on the dance floor to approach beginners and newbies for dances and help you confidentially transition from a workshop environment to the dance floor.
- Doors open at 2:30 PM. Please arrive on time ready to start the first workshop at 3pm.
- Workshop capacity is limited and we have separate cheaper tickets for people that just want to come for the party from 5pm.
- Doors will briefly close at 3 PM sharp for the workshop to begin, then reopen again at 5 PM for the party
Nos vemossss 💋💋💋
