Street Salsa

Continuing with the upcoming Societies Takeover, we find a bit more about other societies involved in the event on Saturday 23rd February.

It was an autumn day in late September 2006 when two students, each with a passion for Salsa and Street Dance, came up with the idea to combine both dance styles! From that came the birth of the Street Salsa Society.

Today the society has over 130 members from more than 25 countries worldwide, all from different backgrounds and cultures. Offering both Salsa and Street Dance in their training sessions, they look at getting everyone comfortable with dancing one, or both styles.

Their performances are then based on a combination of the two, resulting in an amazing Street Salsa mix. Since the formation of the society at Portsmouth, they have achieved a lot. Last year they won the award of ‘Most Organised Society’.

Also, at the end of 2007, they were inspired by two international instructors who then came to teach Samba and African Hip Hop in a Dance Workshop, organised by the society.

Besides other shows, such as the Societies Takeover,we will be showing off our moves in London at a huge 'Street Salsa' event along with various other groups from the UK and Italy, so come along and support us.
