THERE are three chances in three different locations throughout the Highlands this June to strut your stuff in style as Eden Court CREATIVE brings outdoor Salsa Street Parties to Dingwall, Thurso and Fort William.
Building on the success of last year’s events the Salsa Street Parties are coming to three new locations in 2013.
Combining the energy and excitement of both South American and Street Dance Styles, these free events invite members of the public to come and learn something new.
Everyone can try their hands at Salsa, Cha-Cha, Reggaeton, Street and Hip Hop as well as enjoying performances from local dance groups too. World-class tutors will help locals to brush up on their footwork, including the 2010 UK Salsa Professional Champion, Noel Hernandez-Roque, and a live DJ will help participants get in the fiesta mood.
Eden Court CREATIVE’s dance artist, Louise Marshall, said: “It’s very important to us that everyone has a chance to join in the fun, which is why we’ve designed the parties to be accessible to both young and old, and those with experience and those who may be trying it for the first time. It’s all about joining in and celebrating.”
The Salsa Street parties are part of the Get Scotland Dancing activity in the Highlands, funded by Creative Scotland.
