Salsa Diversion Dance Company History

Fritha started Salsa Diversion Dance Company as an experiment to find out whether her experience of choreographing Contemporary dance could be applied to Salsa dance. She had never attempted to choreograph in this genre before, so was not sure what the results would be! She gathered together a group of dancers from her local salsa club and the results were so good that costumes were made specially and public performances soon followed. Responses to the cabarets and events have been extremely positive so Fritha is keen to develop the company further and has set out a series of aims.


Salsa Diversion Dance Company Aims

To make salsa dance accessible and enjoyable for all.

To provide cabaret performances with high quality choreography.

To support and encourage charity events by offering reduced charges.

To nurture and develop company members as performers and teachers.

To educate audiences and event participants so that they develop their appreciation of salsa dance, music and choreography.

We are based in South East England and aim to positively represent Salsa in the UK. We hope to inspire those with a similar background to ourselves to enjoy dancing Salsa. We also hope to encourage people from our region to value their local Salsa scene and be proud of it’s most talented dancers and teachers. Salsa in the South East has embraced a variety of influences from around the world and we hope to further the understanding of these influences and the engagement with them as a new, and truly English, interpretation is forged.
