All Salsa Squad classes CANCELLED
until further notice.
I'm sorry to announce that Salsa Squad’s Monday, Tuesday and Friday Night Salsa events have been cancelled with immediate effect until further notice.
With the continued increase of Coronavirus cases in the UK and the close contact nature of partner dancing, out of respect to our dancers’ health and wellbeing, and that of their families, we have taken the tough but necessary decision to cancel all Salsa classes.
I would like to thank the Squaddies and Team for all your amazing support.
You can rest assured we will be back dancing as soon as it is safe to do so.
Yours responsibly
Paul and the Salsa Squad Team

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this Salsa Night at MooMoo on every Friday?
Yes it is. We also hold weekly classes on Mondays at Bishops Cleeve Tithe Barn. See www.salsasquad.com/the-barn for details
How much is it?
£7 or £5 for full time NUS. That includes around 1 hour Salsa class, up to 2 hours Salsa dancing and FREE ENTRY to MooMoo Night Club afterwards (worth £5). We also give you your 6th class FREE. And, if you bring a new member, you BOTH enter half price. If you wish you can pay by card.
What time does it all start?
It's every Friday night. Doors open 8.30pm, lessons at 9pm, dancing 'til 11.45pm. Free entry to MooMoo night club afterwards, worth £5
Can I just come and watch?
You could, but really, that's a waste of your entrance fee. Your best bet is to turn up, join in the fun and go wrong with everyone else. Messing up is encouraged, it's part of the learning process.
I'm a bloke. Isn't dancing for girls?
Good question. Ask that to Darren Gough, the burly Northern ex-England fast bowler who won Strictly Come Dancing, or Evander Hollyfield who knocked out Mike Tyson (twice) and appeared on the show! Or, ask it of one SALSA SQUAD Founder, Paul, who has 25 boxing fights under his belt. No, it's not just for girls :-)
Will there be members of the public watching us?
No, we have exclusive use of the top club room for Salsa dancers only. And, the beginners have their very own beginners room so you can all have fun learning the steps together, celebrating when you nail it, and laughing out load when it goes a bit pear shaped :-)
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. Most people come on their own although there are people who come as a couple. The way the classes work means dancers change partners every couple of minutes. Dancing with different people is the best way of improving. It also makes for a more sociable night out.
Will I feel out of place if I come on my own?
No, not unless you wear your fave' flamenco dress or bull fighter costume (don't do that). Lots of the people who attend come without a partner. During the classes we swap partners every couple of minutes so even if you bring one you wont be able to keep them to yourself for long!
What should I wear?
Most people come in casual comfortable attire, it's hot stuff so wear something cool. Its probably best to keep the high heels at home (especially the men!). Leather or smooth soles are best, not trainers as they grip too much and you may struggle with the triple spins ;-)
What do I do when I arrive?
Go to the bar, grab a drink and down it (joking, or maybe not). Then, if it's your very first time, you and the other new Absolute Beginners will be eased in with a very simple 'Introduction to Salsa' Class. This will build your confidence and act as a great starting point for your salsa. It will also teach you enough moves for you to be able to strut your stuff on the dance floor after the class.
Do you teach classes at higher levels?
Yes, as well as Beginners we also hold classes at Intermediate and Advanced level. All classes happen at the same time in different rooms. Then we all come together for Salsa dancing in the main club room afterwards.
Is there a bar?
Yes, we have our very own fully stocked drinks bar. If you're not driving, having a few bevies helps loosen your latin hips!
