Latest info

Sorry I haven't posted much for a while. I've been busy, and the Cardiff salsa scene doesn't seem as exciting as it did a while ago - particularly as several of the people I most like dancing with (like Andrea and Idy) have recently left Cardiff.

Tiger Tiger has now moved to Wednesdays - same times as before. A bit strange as I've been used to dancing regularly on Thursdays for years, though since the move to Tiger Tiger I haven't been much - my dodgy toe joint doesn't like the hard floor. I've been mostly going to Misael's remarkably funky rueda class on a Wednesday.

There have been a lot of changes to salsa in Cardiff lately: it's no longer possible to dance six nights a week. I'm not sure if O'Neills, the most recent incarnation of the longest- running salsa night in Cardiff, is still running - someone went last week and said it was closed.

Lots of dancers seem to be more interested in kizomba. I've been told that the best kizomba class is David Flor's Monday night in Missoula, 84-86 St Mary Street.

Major event coming up on 7-9 October is the Cuban Salsa Congress in Newport, which has an impressive roster of teachers.
