club salsa hull
Hi and welcome to Club Salsa Hull, my name is Sue and I first saw salsa dancing
in 1998 at a nightclub in Leeds. I was first interested in Dance when I took up
Latin, Ballroom and Dance Exercise. At that time there were no Salsa classes in
Hull so I travelled to Leeds and had classes with Nicolai, Alan and Mark from
The Latin Quarter at Woodkirk in Dewsbury. After a year I replied to an advert
for Adult Education to teach beginners classes. I took my Adult Teacher Training
Certificate and when the course finished I started classes of my own. In my 20
years of teaching I feel I have raised the profile of Salsa dancing in Hull and
The East Riding of Yorkshire. Our classes are all inclusive and a lot of fun.
The most important things you need for Salsa dancing are enthusiasm, willingness
to learn and persistence. When my Salsa classes started the interest was huge
and at our first class we had almost 100 people, mainly beginners! The School
has developed to include more venues and more dance styles, Bachata, Rueda, and
Kizomba. I find instructing my students is immensely satisfying. It is extremely
rewarding to witness dancers develop their own style and skill on the dance
floor. I want people to feel as happy when they are dancing Salsa as I do. My
aim is to create smiling faces as we dance. Salsa dancing is a great way to keep
fit, have fun and make new friends. In recent years the Club Salsa Crew have
enjoyed mini dance weekenders in the Seaside town of Scarborough. We also
organise a bi-annual 'Salstravaganza' holiday in Spain that takes us dancing to
Murcia on the Costa Calida.
