Salsa

What it is

Salsa is a social dance with Caribbean roots that you learn by copying, one step at a time. You don't need a partner or any experience: we start with the basics as a group and add simple turns and moves as we go.

With headphones the music sounds just as good in the back row as in the front, and the teacher can count the beats straight into your ear without shouting. It is one of the activities where the silent disco magic shows most: from the outside, a group dancing in total silence; from the inside, a full-volume Latin dance floor.

Switching partners is part of the fun, so it is as good an excuse to move as it is to meet new people.
