Salsa Fusion

The ever-growing popularity of Salsa Fusion meant that on 31st August 1991 a Saturday afternoon salsa class was added to our weekly schedule, and in September 1992 we held our first regular course in Merengue.

By the end of 1992 there were over 1000 people on our mailing list and many of our students had improved so much that there was a demand for an advanced class, and so in January of 1993 Salsa Fusion started the first specialised classes for this level. We successfully introduced a video camera into the advanced class so that we could focus on the correction of style.

The jump from the Beginners to the Intermediates class was proving to be a big hurdle and so in July 1993 Salsa Fusion bridged the gap with the Introductory Intermediate Class.

In June 1994 Salsa Fusion started the first of regular courses in Cumbia.

Another first for Salsa Fusion was the introduction of classes for gay men and women in July 1994.

The first gay demonstration team was formed within 3 months and made its debut in December 1994 at an exhibition in Earls Court. Today the classes are as popular as ever, and retain the fun and friendly atmosphere that they started out with way back in 1991. Changing partners regularly during classes has always meant that they are very sociable events, and that our students have great versatility and experience as dancers.
