Hi, I haven'r posted on here for ages. So thought i would have a quick nose to see whats happening in the world of jive.

For those that are regular goes to Salsa, you may be aware of a dance called Bachatta, which is usually played to slow down at the end of the evening.

Kizomba is now gradually being introduced on the Salsa circuit. Kizomba is an Angolan dance with influecnes from tango. I was trying to think of a way to desscribe the music, but Wikipeadia has done a nice job.

'Derived directly from Zouk music, sung generally in Portuguese, it is a genre of music with a romantic flow mixed with African rhythm. The kizomba dancing style is also known to be very sensual...'

There are beginners classes being held at Warmley Community Centre on alternate Sunday evenings. for more details visit http://www.salsamontuno-uk.com/workshops.html

Yes--I like that Becci--looks like a mix between Tango & Salsa. Was going to start going to those classes anyway to do Salsa as they're so close to me, so I might give it a go !
