Daytime classes update - please read.

With a heavy heart, this post is to let you know that there will be no daytime classes from me, for the time being. Please read below.

(Please note, evening salsa classes remain unaffected and will still be continuing, phew!)

Since our weekly daytime classes in Southwick were cancelled in August, I have been working hard behind the scenes trying to find a sustainable way for us to continue locally.

I want to apologise for all the changing information. I know it has been confusing! At the time of communicating it to you all, I couldn't have known this would happen.

Please my motivation has always been to find a way to keep dancing with you all.

We had some really special times, socials, have become friends and a little dance family. Together we built something really genuine, joyful, and good. I treasure that. A really sincere thank you to you all.

Please keep in touch. Who knows what the future holds.

Hugs and dance love, always, from
Jo

💃🕺There will be no Salsa at Diego's on Monday 31st August💃🕺

After asking around it seems like only a small number of people will be around, so we're going to take a one-week break instead.

We'll be back as normal on Monday 7th September:

🕖 7:00pm Beginners
🕗 8:00pm Improvers
🎶 Social dancing afterwards

I'd love to get an idea of numbers for our first night back... lee me know in the comments if you're planning to come on Monday 7th?

✅ Yes
❓ Maybe
❌ Can't make it

Happy bank holiday everyone!

Friday 28th August - Heather’s Fiesta 🎉

We’re starting the double party series with Heather’s Fiesta.
🍰 Free cake and snacks from 7:30pm
💃 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 — 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
💃 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.

🎟️ £5 Early Bird — pay in person at any Wednesday CanniSalsa night by 5 August
🎟️ £8 Advance — pay in person at any Wednesday CanniSalsa night by 26 August
🎟️ £10 on the door
🎟️ Both parties for £10 — pay in person at any Wednesday CanniSalsa night by 26 August

Who is it for? 💛
Whether you already dance, you’re completely new, or you’re just coming for the music, the people and a good night out — you’re very welcome.
Come for the dancing, stay for the people!
