If you fancy a fun night learning some cool Salsa moves then don’t forget to book your place for this Friday’s Stroud Salsa Night.

We’ll be recapping some of the moves from the last session if you missed it or want to consolidate and adding a few new ones too, so it’s a great chance to discover salsa or build on what you’ve learned.

It’ll be a fun, relaxed evening of Latin vibes, great music and dancing – it would be fantastic to see lots of familiar faces there! Classes cater for both beginners and existing dancers.

You can book your place here:

Feel free to invite friends, partners or colleagues along as well – the more the merrier! 🎶

Hope to see you Friday 🪩

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the launch of Stroud Salsa Night at Britannia Dance Studio last night — what an incredible evening! We welcomed around 50 people over the course of the night, all new to the studio and mostly new to salsa, and the energy on the dance floor was fantastic.

It was so rewarding to see so many people trying salsa for the very first time, learning new steps, laughing, and embracing the joy of dancing. The atmosphere was friendly, vibrant, and full of Latin spirit — exactly what we hoped for.

A special thank you to Sharon, Jo, and Laura for helping with demonstrations on the night and, just as importantly, for the encouragement and support that helped get Stroud Salsa Night off the ground.

If you missed the launch, don’t worry! Our next Stroud Salsa Night takes place on Friday 30th January, starting at 7.15pm, with a beginners session — perfect if you’re new to salsa or want to build confidence from the ground up. More experienced dancers are invited to arrive from 8.15pm.

We can’t wait to dance with you again soon 💃🕺

To secure your place please book in advance online.

Let’s keep the salsa growing in Stroud!

Was a pleasure to see so many friendly faces at our first social dance in Chedworth Village Hall on Saturday night after nearly a 3 year break.

Many thanks to those who attended to create such a warm atmosphere. Was great to see different choreography being practiced and those new to social dancing bravely hitting the floor for the first time.

Big thanks to everyone who supported the charity raffle by way of donating prizes and tickets purchases. We raised £110 for Sunflowers Su***de Support.

Looking forward to our next dance already!

Hoping to see even more of you next time ☺️🙌
