At Ardour we host exhilarating Salsa Events, embodying our commitment to fostering community connections through dance. Located in the vibrant city of Cardiff on Wellfield Road, these events celebrate the infectious rhythms and movements of salsa.
Our beginner level salsa courses run on a 6-weekly cycle, and you can attend on your own or bring a friend. No need to bring a dance partner.
If you are a more experienced Salsa dancer you can attend our weekly drop-in sessions with our guest instructors.
With a lively atmosphere and dynamic energy, the Salsa events at Ardour provide a platform for you to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Latin dance while building connections within a friendly and welcoming community.
