I am going to be in London for 2 week's from 24th July - 8th August, and would like to do some salsa dancing while there. I'm just a beginner, by the way. I'm going to start with this:

>>Join a mass participation dance class in the gardens of the Horniman Museum. The thunderous drums of Rio's Samba fuse with the strings of Havana's Salsa. <<

This event takes place on a Wednesday afternoon, which, I'm sorry, doesn't fit in if you have to work, but if there is anyone around that can join me, I think it would be fun. And it's free and anyone can join in, so you won't feel conspicuous and can just have fun.   Here is the link:

Getting to the Horniman is easy -from London Bridge there are trains every 10 mins to Forest Hill station, journey time 13 mins. I can meet anyone beforehand to travel together. We could have lunch beforehand  and/or a drink after, and also walk around the museum, if we have any breath left.

I'd also like to go to some other Salsa classes while I'm in London. I remember someone putting up a post about this some time ago, but can't seem to find it now. So if anyone in the London area wants to do some salsa-ing  at any time during the above dates, please let me know?

 

UPDATE 24TH JULY.

 

Ana and I are meeting outside the Horniman at 2pm, and going for a drink afterwards. If anyone wants to join us, feel free! It's going to be a lovely sunny afternoon for a dance in the gardens!

Hi Anita. I am usually in

Hi Anita. I am usually in London on a Wednesday and would love to join you but I would only have a couple of hours free at lunchtime. Let me see if I can juggle things around and I will get back to you. If you are free one evening it would be lovely if a few of us could get together.

Hi Sue, If you can't make it

Hi Sue,
If you can't make it at lunchtime, I'm happy to meet up with you (or anyone else) in the evening after you have finished work, on this date, or any other while I am in London. Suggestions welcomed for a convenient location..xxAnita

Great to have your company - will you be coming from Kent or London? Let me know what time is convenient for you to arrive and we''ll arrange a meet-up spot. xxAnita

Sorry Anita, I will no longer

Sorry Anita, I will no longer able to meet up on Wed, 25th as I have somebody coming to repair my roof that day, unfortunately it was the only day they could come, as it happens. However it would be good to meet up the days before if you are in London and you have some time for a coffe, lunch or a walk. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Anaxx
