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, cubana, bachata & 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

Philip Wake Had a fantastic night at El Grande London mostly dancing in the main salsa room where the air conditioners were working well but popped up to the Cuban room for a few dances in front of the big fans. Thank you Vendula, Elinora, Lorenza, Leyla and many orthers for my dances tonight but I have to say my best dance was with Monica around 2am so that’s when I left as is my wont! 🤗🕺❤💃
