The next instalment will be held on Saturday 4th February 2012 again at The Guild Aston University in Birmingham.
This will be another massive 2 room event with one room devoted to Salsa and the other room playing Kizomba with the party running until 3am! This event is truly an event not to be missed as many will tell you.
As usual we have resident DJs, DJ Potty, DJ Jimmy and DJ Roger occupying the Salsa room. In the Kizomba room we have the wizard himself DJ AMS, who will be casting his magical presence on the decks. I will confirm other DJs very soon.
We will have 3 levels of Salsa this time going back to our monthly routine, providing a Beginners Class, Improver Class and an Intermediate Class. There will also be a Kizomba lesson again taught by Cloud 8, our very own Midlands based Kizomba crew.
The lessons start at 9:30pm and finish at 10:30pm.
Entrance on the night is £8 and students pay £6 with valid Student Identification.
There is car parking available on site in the Staff car park, for the whole duration of the night whilst the party is going on, so ignore the signs advising of specific closing times. The car park will not close until everyone has left the Students Guild Hall.
More information relating to where to park can be found further down this page along with a map of Aston University Campus.

The 2 arrows bottom left indicate pay and display car parks available.
All of the car parks except car park 3 cost £1 & will cover you for the duration of the Smooth Salsa event even though the ticket is valid until 12am. Security have agreed that no one displaying a ticket for the Saturday will not be clamped.
Arrow 1 points to grass area and a pond called The Chancellor's lake
, the new car park is situated in front of Gems Leisure Centre, by the lake (Arrow 4). It is also based right next door to the new Matthew Boulton College.
Arrow 2 points the car park next door to Woodcock leisure Centre, Arrow 5, which is currently in the process of being re-built.
Arrow 3 indicates the location of The Guild where the Smooth Salsa monthly party is held and also shows Car Park 3 to the left of the Guild.
There is a Car Park located right next door to the Guild on the left of the Building when standing at the entrance facing the Building.
It contains around 30 spaces and is called Car Park 3, it costs £2:50 for 4 hours but I have arranged with Aston that those of you who chose to use it for our Salsa Event pay £2:50 for the duration of the party.
The entrance to this Car Park is off Corporation Street (labelled on the map as A38), which is the next left after Holt Street (labelled on the map as Aston Street). It does have a barrier but to gain access you need to buzz security who will then grant access through the barrier to the Car Park. There is on street parking and the main Car Park on Woodcock Street to use too.
