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 5 minutes walk away
Entrance: £10

Philip Wake “QUE RICO” SALSA KIZOMBA BACHATA PARTIES IN LONDON – a fabulous salsa party as usual – never disappoints. It’s good to see that the salsa dancing community are in general not succumbing to the scares about the Corona Virus and just getting on with life as usual on the basis that we’ll all catch it sometime no matter what we do and if we die – which appears to be most unlikely for fit young people like us including 74 year old me – we will die happy doing what we love to do! ❤️❤️❤️
