πŸ“… Friday 25th September
🀍✨ Salsa Equinox - Wear White & Gold

SummaryπŸ‘‡

πŸ’ƒ No partner needed
🌱 No experience needed
🀝 Friendly one-to-one support available throughout
🎢 Salsa, Salsaton, Reggaeton, bachata, a little kizomba and merengue, plus Latin / Caribbean / mainstream tunes

Keep reading for the full details.

Friday 28th August - Heather’s Fiesta πŸŽ‰

We’re starting the double party series with Heather’s Fiesta.
🍰 Free cake and snacks from 7:30pm
πŸ’ƒ Dancing from 8:15pm until late
Expect a warm, friendly party feel, a good excuse to celebrate together, and the usual CanniSalsa welcome.

Friday 25th September β€” Salsa Equinox 🀍✨

With the autumn equinox just behind us, we’re adding a simple optional theme: wear white, gold, cream, sparkle, or anything that catches the light.
Totally optional - come as you are if that’s more your thing.

🍴 Free snacks from 7:30pm
πŸ’ƒ Dancing from 8:00pm until late

What are these nights?
Full-on socials for a proper Friday night out, open to dancers of all levels - from complete beginners to experienced dancers.
Instead of set classes, there will be friendly teachers and CanniSalsa crew available for one-to-one support throughout the night. So if you’ve never danced before, don’t worry - we’ll help you get moving with a few basic steps and make the night easy to join.

The music🎢

The music will build through the evening, with a CanniSalsa-curated playlist mixing salsa, Salsaton, Reggaeton, bachata, a little kizomba and merengue, plus some Latin / Caribbean / mainstream tunes as the night goes on.

The space🍹

Entry to the front bar area is free as usual, so anyone is welcome to come in, have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
Entry for dancing in the back room is ticketed.
Spaces in the back room won’t be unlimited, so pre-booking is the safest way to make sure you’re in and save yourself a few pounds too.

🍹 Free entry to the front bar
🎟️ Β£5 Early Bird β€” pay in person at any Wednesday CanniSalsa night by 5 August
🎟️ Β£8 Advance β€” pay in person at any Wednesday CanniSalsa night by 26 August

πŸͺ­ πŸŽ‰ πŸ’ƒ Good news! Salsacise is ON! πŸ’ƒπŸŽ‰πŸͺ­

We just wanted to let everyone know that our Salsacise class is definitely going ahead as usual.

There was some confusion as we thought our lovely instructor was going to be away, so some people have been told the class wasn’t on. We’re happy to confirm that the class is taking place as normal.

We apologise for any confusion and look forward to seeing you all at 10am - 11am tomorrow for a great session! β€οΈπŸ’›

CanniSalsa Wednesday Night Venue Update πŸ’›

We're excited to let you know that our regular Wednesday night will be moving to Kerry O’Shea’s from Wednesday 8th July.

We’re really looking forward to bringing CanniSalsa to Kerry’s and creating a friendly, lively Wednesday night there with classes, social dancing and all the usual CanniSalsa warmth.

A huge thank you to Oxygenic for being such a brilliant home for us recently. The space, the atmosphere and the support have been fantastic, and we’re very grateful.

And this isn’t goodbye to Oxygenic - far from it.

Oxygenic will continue to be our home for special weekend parties, giving us the perfect space for bigger one-off nights, extra music, extra dancing and something a bit different from our regular Wednesdays.

Exciting times ahead.

Come for the dancing, stay for the people πŸ’›

What a lovely day we had at Cullercoats Festival πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί

It was so nice to spend the day teaching, dancing with CannìSalsa, meeting new people and bringing a little bit of our Whitley Bay salsa joy to festival-goers.

A special thank you to everyone who came along to the workshops, and especially to those who bravely joined us for the outdoor pop-up Rueda by the sea 😊

Days like this really remind me how lucky we are to have such a wonderful dance community.

Thank you to everyone who danced with us, cheered us on, or stopped to watch.

We can't wait to do it all again next year πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί
