Here we are again!I can't believe a year has come and gone since our last Christmas party.

I don't think there is another club out there that has members

by the Salsa DaddyEveryone knows, if you want to go to a decent Salsa Club and dance with the best Salsa Dancers at the weekend London is where you need to be… Of Course! For years, that's the way it's been… dancers from all over the South East of England willing to endure the stress of driving and trying to park in London and often at great expense all in the name of Salsa.Not any more!

by Diana Long M.S.ACC"It's time to start living the lives we have imagined." This quote by Henry James literally jumped off of the page and spoke to me. In my line of work, I really don't have the luxury of talking about what I want and not taking action. As a Success Coach it is important that I 'walk my talk".

by Stuart Thomas(Salsa SOS - UK)How can something as simple as Salsa Dancing change someone’s life?Why Salsa Dancing in particular?It's certainly not the easiest thing in the world to learn and it can take a lot of time and effort to get proficient at.
