Our new and improved Buena Vista Cuban Salsa syllabus contains 5 beginner level terms, followed by 5 intermediate and 5 advanced level terms.

Class News & Updates
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night classes are held at All Souls Anglican Church Hall, cnr Marion and Norton Sts, Leichhardt. Show rehearsals will be held at All Souls hall on Saturday for the time being. We also have classes at the Spanish Club on Wednesdays.
Our beautiful new place is huge, with great wooden floors for dancing and it's in the heart of Sydney's "Little Italy". There's free parking behind the Town Hall opposite the church and there's metered parking (coins only) on both Marion and Norton Sts, but if you go at least one street away in all directions, you'll find unmetered parking after 6.00pm. There's also 2 hrs free parking at Norton Plaza shopping centre, a few minutes walk from the venue. Buses run from the city frequently and stop right outside the church, and it's 10 minutes walk from Petersham Station. Some of the bus routes from the city are: 435, 436, 437, 438 and 440.
We'll be using either of two halls on each night, so just follow the sound of Salsa and Bachata etc! The top hall is on Marion Street and the lower hall is a few metres down the laneway alongside the building. As you all know, this area is the hub of cafe life, so you can have some delicious food and coffee etc. before and after classes.
