Salsa In't North Part 2
(Thursday, 24 January 2008) Written by Cathjex

Well its 2 weeks since my last (and first) blog entry documenting my experiences of Salsa up north (more specifically north-west i.e. Lake District/Cumbria and north Lancashire), and well I haven’t done any more salsa since…Embarassed except for practicing shines and spinning drills in my bathroom, but an interesting salsa blog that does not make! (Speaking like Yoda, suddenly am I…hmm…strange that in’t it?!)

Anywhooo, my lack of salsa has not been due to the lack of salsa on offer, far from it, more a sudden surge in productivity PhD wise, net result, no salsa! So to make up for my failings as self appointed salsa blogger of the Lake District I thought I would post a list of the places I intend or would like to get to, found by web searches and recommendations…


1)
Salsa Party in't Keswick on't 26th Jan.
 
  
I’ve put the details of this on the Salsa Central calendar, Keswick is such a lovely town (see pictures below) on the shores of Derwentwater surrounded by some of the most dramatic summits in the Lakes including Skiddaw and Blencathra with the Helvelyn range to the south, my second favourite Lake in the Lake District, firmly in Wordsworth Country, John Ruskin and all of that! Such a wonderful part of the world, salsa here would be simply magical! This was on my list of places to go and report back on, alas I won’t be able too anymore. But at the next party I will be there, camera ready!moothall.jpg

2)
Salsa In't Penrith 

After the last blog I’ve had several recommendations to try
Salsa Silhouette (guest teachers at the Keswick Salsa Party) in Penrith (north Cumbria) … so they are definitely on the list… offering classes followed by a social every Thursday.

3) Salsa In't Lancaster

 

Moving out of Cumbria to north Lancashire, I’m yet to visit the Gregson Arts and Community Centre in Lancaster (picture of lancaster to the right) this year, where salsa is held two nights a week. On a Sunday its Jason of Dance with Passion with classes and social dancing and on a Thursday its Janik. I’ve been to these previously, with really positive experiences, so again these are also “on the list”!


 



So that’s it for now, below is a list of websites of teachers and promoters that I’ve found so far for this region of the UK, please if you have any more post a comment below or send be a message (
jex@salsa-central.co.uk) and it will be added to the growing list. I heard a rumour of a Cumbrian Salsa Festival this year… if anyone has any details please let me know!
 Any road, tara for now, ass gan yam! (See here for translation from Cumbrian to English!) 

Back soon with some sort of actual review of Salsa in’t North! Meanwhile I leave you with another Cumbrian view, this time Borrowdale across Derwent water, enjoy!
