You can just turn up on the night! There is no need to pre-book online or register in advance for our Monday night classes. Simply arrive at the Loyal Caledonian Corks in Kings Heath a few minutes before 7:30 PM, pay at the door, and join in.

No, you do not need to bring a partner. During our beginner salsa lessons, we use a fun rotation system where dancers change partners every few minutes. This is a fantastic way to practice, learn faster, and meet everyone in the room. If you do bring your own partner and strictly prefer to stay together, just let our instructors know!

Yes, our classes are specifically designed for absolute beginners. Instructors Val and Judy specialize in breaking down basic salsa steps into simple, easy-to-follow movements using microphones so everyone can hear perfectly over the music. We pride ourselves on creating a friendly, zero-pressure environment for nervous first-timers.

Our absolute Beginner Salsa Class starts promptly at 7:30 PM every Monday night (excluding Bank Holidays). This is followed by an Improvers class at 8:30 PM, and a free social dance practice from 9:30 PM to 11:00 PM where you can practice your new moves.

Our weekly classes are held in the spacious, air-conditioned Upstairs Function Room at the Loyal Caledonian Corks, 225 Alcester Road South, Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 6DT. The venue features a fantastic dance floor and a large, free on-site car park for all attendees.

Entry is £10 cash on the door, which covers your beginner lesson as well as access to the social dance practice later in the evening. 

Wear comfortable everyday clothing that allows you to move freely. For footwear, we highly recommend shoes with smooth or leather soles that allow you to slide and turn easily on a wooden floor. Try to avoid heavy rubber-soled trainers or running shoes, as they grip the floor too tightly and can strain your knees.
