Announcements
2020 UPDATE @ 1 Jan 2020 - Happy New Year everyone! We're still off the grid with limited access to the internet until 12 Jan so no chance to reset our websites etc for 2020 until then.
Most important things to note are that 1) we have moved studios (to Tarrant Dance Studio (Level 1) - 125 Cuba Street - opposite IKO IKO in Cuba Mall), 2) we have consolidated Tuesday and Wednesday night classes for the time being due to teacher and studio availability on Tuesdays, 3) Advanced Salsa classes are finally back (on Monday's at 7pm), 4) Afro-Cuban Roots classes are now being held at a new and earlier time (5.45pm on Mondays) and 5) we will be running classes Wellington Anniversary Monday!
Here's a high-level summary of what we have lined up for you between now and Easter.
Please check out our Facebook event tab for full(er) details.
