About the Event
The spring arrives and the one and only Mauricio Reyes is hopping back to teach us!!!
It is his third visit to Salsa Geeks and it always proves very popular so don't wait too long to get your ticket.
He doesn’t really need introduction, but the pleasure is mine:
Originally from Latin America but based in Birmingham (UK), Mauricio Reyes is the founder of Latin Motion, the biggest salsa outfit in the Midlands since it was established in the early 1990's. Mauricio has been dancing and listening to salsa all of his life and has been teaching salsa dance since the tender age of 17. He is a regular DJ at some of the UKs biggest salsa events, and has been awarded 'Top Regional Promoters', 'Services to Salsa' & 'Top UK Salsa DJ' awards numerous times. As a dedicated salsa DJ, dance instructor and promoter for well over a decade, Mauricio’s work within the UK salsa scene has been extensive.
His passion for salsa shines through and makes learning from him always a very enjoyable experience.
And we will have the pleasure of two days learning from this amazing (and adorable) fella.
He will give us workshops in Salsa - what and how, will depend on your vote currently ongoing on SalsaGeeks facebook page. Workshop numbers are strictly limited and lead-follow balanced to ensure good quality experience. No crowds here.
Class level intermediate, the small size of the group will allow for plenty of opportunities to ask questions and nail that technique. It is always a great experience with a lot of learning and light bulb moments.

LEADER/FOLLOWER BALANCING IN PLACE FOR ALL WORKSHOPS to ensure high quality learning experience. Please note it is not gender balancing, if a gentleman wants to follow or a lady wants to lead, just go for it, if you want to switch roles with your partner in between workshops – that is fine too as long as you both agree between each other and not create unbalanced numbers. The purpose of balancing is to ensure that nobody is left without a partner for any longer than a minute or two. If you save me the work of matching you Lead/Follow and book together, you save yourself some cash.
This event is accompanied by a Saturday night Social in the same venue. Your workshop booking includes entry fee to that party.
Pricing:
1 person One day workshops & Saturday night social - £40 Couple One day workshops & Saturday night social - £70
