Chris’ classes and socials draw a large and diverse crowd of regulars. His warm charisma and unique brand of humour keeps people coming back, as well as getting them up dancing at the end of the night.
The pace of the classes feel more laid back then other classes I’ve attended, especially for beginner levels. The technicality soon ramps up for the more advanced routines, which you are quickly encouraged to stay for.

What initially attracted you to Salsa?
I was bored doing the same thing every Friday night so I told my friends I was staying in but was sneaking out to salsa. I got the initial feeling whilst travelling South America.
Favourite salsa track of all time?
Sonido bestial by Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz for the sheer energy and musical theatre it brings
Your golden rule?
Never leave your t-shirts in the washing machine too long before they’re dried. Once you dry them you think you’re ready to go soon as you get onto your fourth dance and heat passes through them you smell like a pair of tramps kegs…night ruined
I couldn’t recommend Chris’ classes enough for beginners, and his social events are popular through no accident.
I’ll be listing all regular events on the where to dance page!
