If there is no comment by a night, it means I haven't been to it (or heard comments from others about it) recently. I'm only listing nights with a reasonable amount of time for free dancing afterwards rather than those that are classes only.
Tuesdays at La Tasca (Cuban)
7pm-7.45pm Beginners, 8pm-8.45pm Improvers, 9pm-9.45pm Intermediate, Freestyle until 11.30pm (includes rueda)
Friendly, authentic Cuban classes from Sabina.
Thursdays at O'Neills, St Mary Street
8:00-10 Beginners, Improvers, Intermediate classes; dancing til 'late'. A new home (it'll be familiar to long-time Cardiff dancers) for this popular night. Good teaching from Andy Witt, Kate James and Gemma Bailey. The classes are LA-style but the music is varied and very danceable (including Cuban, bachata and sometimes zouk). Good teaching.
Thursdays at La Tasca (Cuban)
Beginners 7, Improvers 8, Rueda 9, dancing until 11.
Friendly, authentic Cuban-style classes with Sabina.
Saturday (mixed styles)
Free dancing in La Tasca. Good music and live percussion. Sometimes it's overrun by drunk muggles - best avoided on big match nights - but it's usually got a real buzzing atmosphere. There are some good dancers there who you don't see dancing anywhere else, usually including some real Cuban-style dancers for those who like dancing in circles. It runs from 11 until 2 and it's free.
OTHER EVENTS
Roger M Wilson runs a nice relaxed Wednesday night in Revolución de Cuba in the Friary, usually with a live band; monthly Friday salsa parties (normally the last of the month) with guest teachers in O'Neills in St Mary Street, and monthly Sunday night salsa 'chill' nights in Revolución de Cuba.
