Well I know that on Thursday night (6th July) Osbanis is guest teaching at a club I go to at a place called The Cuban in Camden. I'll def be there and I know a lot of the regulars so can introduce you. A real mix of styles danced here, but a lot of us have been doing quite a bit of rueda recently so the flavour is certainly more casino than New York!

esalsanews.co.uk/salsa/general/faq.php?faqsid=8 Info on the night and details on how to get there are on the directions link at the bottom. I'll also post the blurb from their email below. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I also go to a place called turnmills on a Tuesday night - which you might want to try. There are a lot of intermediate level dancers here. No band this week though just a DJ.
