Cuba is the birthplace of Salsa, and who best to teach you than Abelardo. Abelardo learnt to dance on the streets of Old Havana, Cuba and epitomises the vibrant, colourful and energetic spirit of his beloved city. Like many Cubans, dance comes as naturally to Abelardo as walking and talking.
Abelardo will be running the beginners Salsa Course at the Bristol Folk House. This class is ideal for people who are completely new to Salsa. He will be focusing on the very basic steps and fundamentals. There is no need to bring a partner to this class or any of our classes, just some comfortable shoes and lots of enthusiasm!
We welcome people of all ages and abilities. You don not need any dance experience, rhythm or coordination! This class is just about having fun, moving and getting involved.
Testimonials from Abelardo's previous Reggaeton course and Salsa workshop:
LOVE these reggaeton classes, can't wait for more, they are accessible but with a good level of challenge, I cannot stop smiling throughout! Also, it is full of proper joyful rhythm with each move, instead of some classes I have been to, which feel very much about numbering it and can feel quite disconnected from the music. Not here.
It was fun and engaging, no pressure.
Abelardo is a great teacher!
Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
