.

So if you fancy a change on a special occasion contact us or if you are looking for a regular Salsa class in the Birmingham area then take a look at the days we teach to see if we can accommodate you.
The Smooth Salsa team can also provide fun lessons for Weddings, Private Parties and Corporate Events if you are looking for a burst of life and positive energy for an event. It's a great way to get employees to connect and relate in a fun, relaxing environment.
Monthly parties are held on the first Saturday of each month and at these parties we tend to include lessons in Salsa and on occasion Kizomba too!
Our parties have been growing steadily each month putting Smooth Salsa and Aston University on the Salsa map. We are now considered as holding the best party in Birmingham due to the friendly environment we have, our venue, our classes, the music we play along with the volumes of people that attend.
We are asked frequently by our attendees whether we would consider holding the parties fortnightly and some even would like us to consider doing a weekly event. At the moment we are going to continue with our monthly party structure as this seems to be working for us.
I still have fond memories of when the Smooth Salsa parties were held at The Irish Centre in Digbeth a few years ago. We averaged 80 people back then but now things have changed and with sheer perseverance we now average over 200 guests.

2011 has proved to be a great year for Smooth Salsa and we intend to continue the trend in providing you with a top quality night of Salsa and Kizomba.
"Wow", is all I can say about the last three events Smooth Salsa have held. November, December and January were simply outstanding with over 300 guests attending each. The energy created by each and every individual that was there was thrilling!
Most people adopted to the "Wear Something New" theme well coming out in some of the best items they received over the festive season. We kicked the night off with a fun Rueda De Casino class for all levels, which always goes down well to get people relaxed.
I must apologize to all that were expecting a beginners class on the night who did not get one. When I announced the class my Instructor wasn't aware there was any beginners as no one seemed to come forward. I was made aware afterwards of one young lady who wanted a class but missed out so again I apologize for that as it has never happened before. That's not to say we don't get beginners at our events as we usually do.
The party kicked off around 10:30pm with guests flooding in continuously to get their fix of Salsa and Kizomba! The party itself went very well indeed with proof of this being both rooms full at the end of the night. I also enjoy reading the numerous positive comments on Facebook!
