Miguel Mayana runs this salsa event in Balham at the White Eagle Club (aka Hamilton House) on the first Friday of every month. It is a welcome rebirth of the Que Rico event which used to run on the 2nd Friday of each month at The Bedford in Balham last year until it had to be closed for refurbishment. This venue has a luxurious ballroom for salsa dancing – big enough for 500 dancers I’d say. The bachata area is quite small but adequate for those who prefer sideways salsa! 😉 The ballroom has air conditioning which works, a professional sound system and a stage for the DJ which is always an advantage.
Que Rico means to a Spanish speaking salsa dancer something like: Isn’t it wonderful! It is indeed and as before the venue has a friendly atmosphere and attracts all the best dancers from miles around thus guaranteeing me my salsa fix many times over in one evening! I plan to arrive at 10pm for the social dancing after the earlier bachata & salsa lessons.
Venue: White Eagle Club at Hamilton House, 211 Balham High Road, Balham, London SW17 7BQ
Parking: Plenty of free parking in Balham High Road and side streets after 7pm.
Tube & Rail: Balham Station is only 6 minutes walk away
Tickets: £10

Philip Wake Helped out a bit at the end of Karizma beginner lesson by answering one lady’s question by dancing with her. She got it straight away. Danced with a few others too and then proceeded to dance with as many ladies as possible in the time available. Loved the performance by Mambonito featuring the glamorous Karizma & Dee and had two dances later with Dee – both of which could easily have been my last dance but I was hoping for another before I actually went home! 😉

Philip Wake My pleasure Karizma! I also danced quite a few times with a lady I helped a while ago and it was good to see how well she followed me with a big smile on her face. I helped her husband too because he was dancing with stiff legs and pointing – as they do – so I took him back to “waiting for a bus” principles and got him walking to music on the way to a reasonable basic. He bought me a drink which was nice – a diet coke I hasten to add as I haven’t drunk anything alcoholic since I started salsa dancing 16 years ago! ❤💃🕺❤
