About the Event

Salsa Geeks have the pleasure to invite you to dance the night away! 

The event will begin by a salsa class taught by our guest of honor Rasa Pauzaite. Rasa is an absolutely amazing dancer with a beautiful, elegant style, who inspires and captivates all that behold her. She has become an exceptionally accomplished dancer/ performer and was winner of the 2011 freestyle Salsa and Bachata championships in the UK. Rasa has also gained much experience over many years as a teacher of both Salsa, Bachata and Marengue – with a great teaching style that seamlessly blends her passion and enthusiasm for dancing with a fun, friendly, student centered and accessible approach.

Our DJ is the one and only Eşref Parranda Ulaş (a.k.a DJ Muzu), well known for his fabulously friendly Parranda events in Sheffield. His musicality is off the scale and he knows damn well what is a great latin dancing track. He has been a busy bee throughout the lockdown, working hard for the salsa community, keeping our spirits up by organising multiple Zoom workshops, group walks, and hosting various facebook live events. Now, we can finally enjoy his joyful energy live, in person, like the good old days. 

The venue, YMCA, is a hidden gem. A few minutes’ walk from both bus and train station, it amazes by the size of it’s ballroom with smoother than smooth, recently restored, dancefloor. It is an absolute joy to dance there. It also has a very high ceiling, so it is very unlikely to get stuffy. Please respect the venue and don’t wear outside shoes to dance. Only people with shoe bags will be allowed in to the building by security.

BYO drinks. Please bring your own water bottles, and don’t use open vessels such as cups, as they can be easily spilled. Please, please, please buy tickets online rather than on the doors, so that I have a good idea of how much ice & slice and water jugs to provide on the drinks station. 

Hand sanitizers will be available throughout the venue. It is entirely up to you if you wish to wear a mask or no. If you do not wish to switch partners, please let us know on entry and you will be given a wrist band – this is to tell others to not ask you to dance and spare the awkwardness for both. 

There will be no flashing lights. If at any point, the crowd and noise become too overwhelming, there is an area outside of the main hall, where you can take your time to recharge your social interactions battery.
