This event is really mainly a Salsa dance with a short fun lesson to start with--a bit like some Le-roc dances begin with a short lesson prior to the dance. So if you havn't done any Salsa before you might be better doing a few of their regular lessons first on Mondays at 8-15 for beginners. They used to be @ Que Pasa & then the Funky Greek in Corn St but next week --Bank holiday monday ,they are moving to Oceana on the waterfront.
Lessons are similar to jive in that people move round, but they seem to be mainly taught in bars/clubs so can be quite cramped & crowded, and as the teachers are usually in the middle of a circle ,on the same level, can be more difficult to see.Also--beware--it's mostly taught by just one teacher who uses the pupils to demo with--so you will find yourself in the centre of the circle, on full display at some point!! Music is generally a lot faster and less
varied than jive. There are loads of different lessons in Bristol--most nights of the week actually.
Hope that helps--Becci can probably tell you more
