TONIGHT! FRIDAY @ BEL AIR
at the prestigious Belfry

What an incredible night we had last month again @ BelAir at the Belfry! Thank you all again for coming, with so many local salseros, but also loads from far & wide across the UK. It's impossible for pictures & videos to always do it justice, but we try, so check them out (lots new ones now online). The 3 MUSIC ROOMS... SalsaBrava... Cuban/Kizomba/Bachata... & Dance/Soul/RnB continue to go down a treat, so we plan to keep it the same for the next SALSABrava Extravaganza. The countdown has now begun again, and the next date will be on Friday 3rd September (1st Friday of each month)... We're also going to have a little Kizomba warm-up at 9pm and then later a Kizomba performance with Ian & Sara from SalsaSabrosa (Bristol), so come early and join in the fun. Please let everybody know and hopefully you can join us again, I'm there!!! This night is awesome, so if you're thinking of coming from far away, it's well worth the trip, with very easy access of J9 M42, massive secure FREE on-site car park, and even top Hotel & Spa facilities for those of you wanting to stay over plus even enjoy our after-party (2-4am)!!!

NEW YEAR EVE 2010/11 @ Colliery Club
Also, we are going to be selling our NYE2010/11 tickets at the ridiculously cheap opening offer price of just £8 this Friday (£10 after, and rising every 2 weeks), so bring a little extra cash and bag yourselves or your friends a bargain. It was voted TOP UK SALSA SPECIAL EVENT of 2009 (UK salsa awards), and we're hoping to do it all over again this next NYE. Believe it or not, it's only 4 months away now! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! here is the link on-line (available for a very short time only)

ONLY 1 WEEK AWAY NOW, at Bournbrook & Selly Oak Social Club. It's been too long since our last one, so if you want a proper salsa night, lovingly created for all keen salsa dancers, don't miss this one! (plus help me celebrate my Bday too - not fishing for cards by the way, lol). This venue is perfect for salsa dancing, and we mainly play a hot selection of SALSA clasica, Mambo & Cha Cha Cha plus a light sprinkling of Bachata & Kizomba and other great salsa to add to the mix. If you like your salsa nights like this, JOIN US and please help us spread the word too. Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss this one on SATURDAY 11th September, with special guests CRISTIAN & TITO SHREK (Salsalicimo uk), and JULIAN SUMMERS spinning alongside myself (Mauricio Reyes) and DJ Gary Thomas. Definitely one for the diary! All feedback about previous events has been overwhelmingly positive, so we feel totally reassured that this is a perfect venue for a big night for salsa dancers in Birmingham, and worthy of attracting keen dancers from all over the UK. The Bournbrook & Selly Oak Social Club is lovely, but above all it's perfect for dancing with a HUGE Sprung Wooden Dance floor, and perfectly positioned seating & bar areas. See previous events photos here and VIDEO CLIP here

The Original is BACK!!!!

...back SATURDAY 18th SEP @ ST ANNE'S CLUB!!!
So chuffed about the return of our much loved SALSABRAVA at St Anne's Club in Birmingham. It's been shut for over 2 years due to a refurb that almost didn't happen, but finally it's back and perfect for a top dancers night in the centre of Brum. We have re-launched it in August (see PHOTOS here), and are hoping to keep it running as a monthly special event on the 3rd Saturday of each month. All the feedback has been really positive, with everybody telling us how much fun they had despite it being a really hot & humid evening. We can't change the weather, but are hoping to make some more improvements & additions to our setup to make it even better in every way possible, and since it's obviously such a popular night, we are also going to make sure the extra wooden dance floor will definitely be down next time. I'm really looking forward to the next date on Saturday 18th September, specially because I'm around too (HURRAY!!), but also got special guests TONY LARA & DANIELA. Please take a look below or on the website and put dates in your diaries. Don't miss it!... more details here

BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
MONDAY & WEDNESDAY CLASSES & PARTIES

Please note that we are now just a few days away from the re-opening of our Mondays @ Sports Cafe & Wednesdays @ Spicebuffet nights. I know loads of people love these nights, and they'll be back on Mon 6th Sep & Wed 8th Sep as normal and raring to go. I cannot wait to re-open, Mondays @ Sports Cafe is definitely one of the biggest SALSA & KIZOMBA nights in the MIDLANDS, and I know loads of you have missed it over the summer. Please spread the word, and help us continue to spread some Zouk & Kizomba love to the people of Birmingham from Monday 6th September. We are still running 2 levels of Kizomba at 8pm (beginners & improvers). In addition to that, when we return in September we'll also be introducing a level 2 to our fortnightly Zouk/Lambada workshops. If you haven't tried our Mondays or Wednesdays yet, and still want to have a go, just turn up and join in. PHOTOS & KIZOMBA+ZOUK/Lambada class videos now online here too.
