Strictly Cuban Salsa

We are very proud to announce that our first community project “Strictly Cuban Salsa” will be starting on Wednesday 27th September from 10.30-11.30am at Monk Fryston and Hillam Community Centre. This is the first project we have been able to organise through our not for profit organisation Tiempo España Dance Academy C.I.C., thanks to the subsidy provided by the Western CEF.

We will be teaching 5 sets of Cuban salsa courses lasting 6 weeks in selected community halls within the Western Area of the CEF in 2017/2018 starting with our first course in Monk Fryston. The classes will be offered at a discounted rate of £3 for adults and £2 for students/young people > 20 years old with the aim being to offer the courses at different days of the week at the various locations to make it accessible to everyone.

All courses will follow a similar structure and will start at a beginner level to engage people in the community particularly those who have not tried similar activities before. The 5 courses offered will run in succession rather than simultaneously to allow interested people who missed a certain course to join one of the other courses instead.

Anyone can reserve a place on the course by getting in touch either via the contact form on our website or our email address tiempoespanadance@hotmail.com.

We are happy to run this course in partnership with the Western Area CEF (Community Engagement Forum) which supports local communities within Selby district in an area reaching from Tadcaster in the north, to Knottingley in the south, Hambleton in the east and Leeds in the West. This CEF was the first sponsor to collaborate with Tiempo España Dance Academy C.I.C. in an effort to help isolated people within the Western Area and make sports activities more accessible. If you want to find out more about the work they do you can visit their website at http://www.selby.gov.uk/western-area-cef.

While we are very much at the start of our journey in terms of the projects we aim to deliver through Tiempo España Dance Academy C.I.C. it is nice to have everything in place to start our first classes. If you would like to find out more information around our mission and sponsors you can visit our new website at https://tiempoespanacic.wixsite.com/tiempo-espanacic. We hope to increase the accessibility of Cuban salsa for everyone in the region through our C.I.C especially for anyone who finds it difficult to attend other dance classes and are very excited about starting this project towards that end.
