Tiempo España: Learn some Salsa Moves While You Practise Your Spanish

Even if you have two left feet, Tiempo España Dance Academy will help you to become a great dancer. There are 7 different levels of salsa dance classes (from Beginners to Advanced) and not having a partner to go to the lessons with isn’t a problem – you will be paired up with different people during the lessons. Give it a go and you’ll soon be salsaing to the high energy Latin rhythms, as if you were in Cuba, dancing the night away in the Buena Vista Social Club in Havana – mojito in hand!

Tiempo España Dance Academy offers Cuban salsa lessons in a number of cities including Leeds, York and Selby. As a Cactus student, you can purchase an 8 classes pass for just £35 by showing your confirmation email when you book!
