There is a 4-week Absolute Beginners
Salsa course led by Marcus & Bonita
on
the first Tuesday of each month. The next
course will run on Tuesday, 5th August 2008 and run for
the duration of 4 or 5 weeks, after which time, students can progress
into the Recent Beginners class held at the same time with another teacher,
on a drop-in basis. If you have missed this course and want to be reminded
for the next one nearer the time, please
and mention 'Salsa at Ford'. Our courses start on the first Tuesday
of every month except December ie: 2008:
5th Aug, 2nd Sept, 7th Oct, 4th November
No
need to book or bring a partner, just smooth-soled shoes ...
and some comfortable clothing!

you want to clarify, then the teachers will be on hand to go over details
