SALSA DIVERSION DANCE COMPANY


We have sound and lighting equipment and a wealth of teaching expertise, so we can offer events which include any of the following: A fun salsa and merengue lesson aimed at getting everyone up on their feet and having a good time. Salsa lessons at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels (warm-ups can include ‘shines’ and advanced lesson can include ‘ladies styling’ - choose from Cuban style, Cross Body Lead or Rueda). Freestyle demonstrations. Choreographed cabaret performances. Either a ‘salsa club’ disco for serious salseros, or a ‘latin party’ disco to get everyone up for a boogie (even if their latin spirit has been lying dormant for a while!). A ‘salsa fiesta’ workshop aimed at integrating people with and without special needs.
SALSA PARTIES for weddings, fund raising events etc. The evening could run as follows:- Freestyle demonstrations A fun salsa and merengue lesson Latin disco Cabaret performance Latin disco
SALSA SUNSPLASH EVENTS for schools, clubs, day-centres etc. Usually a daytime event, which can be held indoors or outdoors. They are an ideal way of integrating people who would not normally associate with one another. A vibrant street carnival atmosphere is created through a celebration of music and dance. People can just turn up on the day and join in, or they can prepare a dance performance in advance during a series of workshops with a member of the company, and then perform it on the day for others to enjoy. For example, a school, a youth club, a day-centre for people with special needs and a day-centre for elderly people in the same locality could each book a series of six workshops. This would then culminate in a Sunsplash daytime event at the local Arts Centre attended by all the workshop participants plus their family and friends. There would be ‘fiesta workshops’ for everyone to join in as well as performances by each group. Plenty of uplifting Latin music will make everyone believe they are in a sunny happy place, no matter what time of year it actually is.
We are happy to provide you with information about the history of salsa, salsa music and the significance of salsa today prior to your event, or alternatively guests/participants can read the information we bring with us on our noticeboard.
