2019-12-07: Que Rico Salsa Party at White Eagle Club Balham – Christmas Party!

On: By: Philip Wake
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 Read more [...]

2019-03-23: Salsa Fusion at 229 The Venue London!

On: By: Philip Wake
For details about this 1st first Saturday of the month (and sometimes the 3rd) salsa event see the facebook page: Salsa - Fusion. There is rarely a shortage of good salseras to dance with and there's always the Cuban room to cool down when you get overheated because it's a smaller room with several enormous fans and Cubana can be less strenuous but it rarely happens that way for me! I always seem to attract ladies who like to go crazy on the dance floor . . . which I love of course . . . dancing Read more [...]

2019-03-01: Que Rico Salsa Party at White Eagle Club Balham!

On: By: Philip Wake
Miguel Mayana resumed his monthly salsa event in Balham at the White Eagle Club (aka Hamilton House) in February. As it is scheduled for every first Friday this clashed with my regular date at The Venue in Brighton but this month I decided that I had to to revisit Que Rico to see if it had regained its former glory because it used to be my favourite venue second only to El Grande. I'm very pleased I did because the new venue has a luxurious ballroom for salsa dancing - big enough for 500 dancers Read more [...]

2018-09-14: Que-Rico Salsa Party at Ibex Venue Stockwell!

On: By: Philip Wake

Philip Frost and Miguel Mayana run a monthly salsa event at The Bedford in Balham which is one of my favourite venues. The main room for salsa is ideal: wooden dance floor, capacity for 250 dancers, excellent sound system, air conditioning that used to work and  free parking nearby in Sainsbury for 250 cars! There is one other room devoted to kizomba and the event is called Que Rico which means to a Spanish speaking salsa dancer something like: Isn't it wonderful! Above all the venue has Read more [...]

Event 2017-07-15: Salsa at the Guildford Saturday Show & Fiesta!

On: By: Philip Wake

Carlos  & Clare Paz run a monthly salsa fiesta at The Stoke Pub in Guildford on a Saturday. I missed last month because it clashed with Salsa Explosion's La Tasca in Bournemouth on 24th June which happened to be the last Saturday in June but this month it doesn't clash with anything so I was pleased to be able to go to what is always an excellent night of salsa particularly when I noticed that a certain lovely salsera was on the Going list! Karina was in fact there though she arrived late Read more [...]
