About the Event
The Geeks are on the roll again! Amazing floor, great music, cheap and cheerful bar, and pocket friendly entry price. Just the way we like it!
We are ganging up with Sean Wilson for this one. He will take great care of the kizomba fans in the downstairs room.
£8 on doors, cash or card
Doors open 7:30 Warmup and short taster kizomba class with Sean at 8. Then music plays till 1am.
Music policy upstairs - any style and era of Salsa, from anywhere around the world, making sure the mix is balanced with something for everyone. Slower tracks at first and leaving difficult (but fabulous) ones for the end of the evening. Under duress I will throw a couple Bachatas and even a Cha-Cha since you've asked. Playlist is prepared in advance as always on the Salsa Get-Togethers, if there is something you love, please message me and I will try to put it in.
Music policy downstairs - you guys have a proper DJ. Sean will play a mix of Kizomba, Semba, Ghetto Zouk & Tarraxinha. He is well known for getting the vibe right so you're in for a treat!
Seasoned dancers - come around, have fun and inspire newbies. Newbies - come around and have a go practicing what you've learnt in a safe environment. Get your mambo-miles in. Have a sneaky peak at other style too.
First time learning to partner dance? Here's a few tips 1 Wear securely fitted shoes - ones that won't slip off, or flap about. Check if you are able to comfortably stand on tiptoes in them. Avoid shoes with a good grip, you want to be able to do a little twist without much friction. 2 Try to leave your jewellery at home, watches can tangle in partners hair, earrings can get caught on partners sleeve etc. Gentlemen, pretty please, no sleeve cuffs, they catch on ladies hair. 3 Wear whatever clothes you fancy, as long as you're comfortable 4 Don't stress. Salsa is a joyous social party dance. And the community is very welcoming. 5. If you want people to show you some steps, ask for "I brought watermelons" wristband.
COVID SAFETY: 1. Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell 2. It is your choice if you wish to wear a mask and if you want to switch partners or stay in bubble. If you choose to remain in bubble, you will be given a red wristband to avoid strangers approaching you. 3. Please use hand sanitizers available on site
