We balance lead-follow, couples can book directly here, singles must contact Salsa Geeks to be balanced. This is not gender balancing, ladies can lead, gents can follow, as long as you stick to your role, we are happy.

Exact workshop breakdown will be announced on the event closer to date, but it will include spins, safe styling, frame lead/follow, as well as dancing in crowd, steals/swaps & armology magic. Once you book, you can also let us know what you struggle with and we will do our best to include it in, if we can't you will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. 

About your teachers

Carl Poxon

You might recognise Carl as the organiser of famous 4 The Love of Dance events held in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Yes, that very one. Carl has been teaching LA style crossbody salsa for over 20 years and has a passion for all things salsa. He does amazing work supporting and feeding the salsa community in the north. 

Currently teaches at a Northwest salsa with Ellena and has been doing so for 2 years. 

His particular style involves a lot of armography so expect some fun twists and tangles throughout. 

Leads - learn to surprise and delight your partner. 

Follows - learn to look surprised and delighted while knowing lead's tricks inside out :)

Ellena McConville

Ellena is a professional dancer, dancing Salsa and Bachata for almost 10 years. Coming from a background of contemporary, hip hop and samba styles (school trained) she created unique style for herself. Ellena started teaching classes in Liverpool about 2 years ago under her brand called Latin Soul. 

Ellena moves beautifully and followers sure can get plenty of hints and advice on improving flight, posture and flow of movement.
