2019-01-18: El Grande every 3rd Friday at Scala near Kings Cross!

I always look forward to being part of the biggest and best monthly salsa dancing venue in the UK which is El Grande at Scala from 21:30 to 05:00 – 4 rooms for salsa, cubanabachata & kizomba – often attended by more than 1200 dancers! Entry is £12 whether you do the lessons or not. The venue is Scala just a few hundred yards down the road from King’s Cross St. Pancras Tube Station at 275 Pentonville Rd, Kings Cross, London N1 9NL. There’s always somewhere to park for free in the surrounding roads – you just have to drive round until you find somewhere.

I usually arrive around 9:30pm and do the improvers lesson and then dance the night away until around 3am when I am usually ready to leave because my salsa soul has been fulfilled or sometimes because I have overheated, have run out of shirts or am knackered!

Please see the facebook event on the El Grande London page for details for this particular night but the usual timetable is:

09:00 Doors open

09:30 Lesson at various levels for each dance genre in the 4 rooms

10:30 Social dancing

01:00 (approx) Performances

01:15 (approx) Social dancing continues

04:55 kizomba, cuban & bachata rooms close

05:00 salsa room closes and time to go home

Looking forward to Salsa dancing at El Grande tonight at Scala from 21:00 to 05:00 4 rooms for salsa, cuban, bachata & kizomba - usually attended by at least 1000 dancers!

Philip Wake Well that worked well – I picked up Vendula at 7:45 in Southampton and still got to Scala by 9:25 in good time for the lesson. It was good to see that it was my two good friends Chris & Thalia giving the improvers lesson which included a sequence or two that I intend in incorporate into my repertoire. Each of the ladies who came to me for the last practice said at the end of the sequence: “We did it!” with a big smile on her face! I love making ladies happy on the dance floor . . .
Thank you to all the performers, teachers & salseras I danced with tonight – you made my night at El Grande as exciting as it could possibly be! ❤️💃🔥🕺❤️
Chris Diamond God bless you 🙏🏽 and thank you for the great feedback. We really enjoyed teaching last night. Thalia and I are pleased if, by sharing our passion, we can make a positive difference to our students progress and love for dance.
