Enjoy the Salsa Clubs in Sydney and discover that experience that you always dream about, savouring that sultry exotic Latin atmosphere.1. Let's hit the Salsa Clubs in Sydney.
i. The Aussie Salsa enthusiasts.
As I said on another page, I went to the West Coast Salsa Congress in LA in 2006 and I danced with many Aussies. The dancing was of a high standard and all of them could dance "On 1" and "On 2". (I'm sure they could dance Cuban Style Casino if I asked them). This high standard was confirmed by the performance of Oliver Pineda and Luda Kroitor on the Saturday evening and I have since then been a converted fan.
ii. The Huge Sydney Salsa Scene.
I have since discovered that the Salsa Scene in Sydney Australia is huge. It probably rivals that in London and you can find Salsa Clubs
in Sydney on any day of the week. Many Salsa events are listed weekly on some Sydney internet web sites and with beautiful venues such as La Cita and Port Orient, salsa parties are the best entertainment in Sydney.
Sydney parties and the festival of Sydney show off Latin American dance and Cuban Salsa dancing. You can always see Oliver and Luda or Jaime and Little Liz teaching and dancing at one of the many fine Salsa Clubs in Sydney.
Salsa dancers are some of the friendliest people in the world anywhere. After all everyone dances Salsa for a variety of reasons and the more people they dance with the better. What an excellent way of meeting people.
iii. Where do I go to to dance Salsa in Sydney?
