Salsa Essex was set up in 2004 by Tony and Kylie Sheppard.

We have both been dancing Salsa for several years and decided to set up Salsa Essex so that we could share our love of dancing. We believe that Salsa is not only a fantastic way to make new friends and enjoy your leisure time but also a great way to keep fit! 

Our aim is to teach you the right kind of dancing skills so that you can get "out and about" and enjoy Salsa on a social level, even as a beginner!

We are very proud to announce two new additions to the Salsa Essex team, Sallie and Jenna have joined us and are currently teaching Absolute Beginners on Thursday Nights at our Marks Tey Classes.

We teach a variety of Salsa styles, from Cuban Salsa and La Rueda to Cross Body Lead or LA Style Salsa.  By incorporating the fundamental elements of these different styles we aim to teach you  the basic skills needed to be able to dance with a wide cross section of dance partners.

In addition to Salsa we will introduce you to a variety of latin rythyms including Bachata, Merengue and Cha Cha Cha.

Our classes cater for all levels from Absolute Beginners with "two left feet" to the more experienced Salsa dancer.  All of our classes are taught within a carefully structured syllabus but with the emphasis on having fun!

You don't need to have a partner to join our classes, just a sense of humour!  So what are you waiting for?  Come along and join us and start having some serious fun!!
