COVID-19 UPDATE
We are very keen to open up the doors and go and see you for face to face classes, however, La Pollera Colora has informed us that they have not been given clearance yet to open up to hirers like us due to the Government guidance. Meanwhile, we have sorted out classes at a dance studio 3min walk from La Pollera Colora and 2min walk from London Bridge Station.
La Pollera Colora is now open for table bookings every Friday and Saturday from 10 pm
(no social dancing allowed).

1 DAY INTENSIVE COURSE - CUBAN SALSA
Next Dates: 14th May and 11th June 2022 -Limited Spaces
You just can’t wait any longer to learn Salsa? Join us for 5 hours of expert salsa tuition with Esther Alvero and Antonio de Freitas, founders of Cubaneando and both former Tropicana Rueda World Champions. With over 18 years of experience teaching Cuban Salsa and creating high-end dance productions. Antonio and Esther are well renowned for their teaching methodology and attention to detail. They both put in a lot of dedication, love, and responsibility to teach authentic Cuban Salsa in such a manner, that even if you haven't danced in your life and you have two left feet, you will learn in a very organic, dynamic, and fun way. By the end of the day, you will be able to have enough repertoire to feel confident and hit the dance floor with a good Cuban foundation, which will also allow you to progress faster to the next levels.
Ideal for those who simply cannot commit to regular classes and the ones that can't wait any longer to take up their Cuban Salsa to the next level!
Also, it is great and fun to socialize and meet new people and to know a bit better those who have come to the weekly classes.
