Hi Paul,

I've got to disagree fella. I've started salsa about 5 weeks ago and found it really hard to find good, lively classes. Chris and Jackies venue is BY FAR the best one in south london (I know, I've tried most of them!). The Bar in wimbledon on wednesdays is pumpin with a class of at least 60+ (people attending not age group!!). The general age is 22 - 35ish and its not for the faint hearted as the moves are not your usual 'old style' salsa. lots of cuban/RnB style moves that make the ladies go "oooooooooh" or in my case "Ugh?!?!?" (Give me a break, I'm still learning!!)

Simon (et al): just to clear up a confusion - the place I was referring to is D-Bar in Wandsworth (nr Southside), not Chris & Jackie's in Wimbledon.

I agree with you Simon - I've been to C&J's a few times and it was awesome!

Just to let everyone know that the D-Bar is officially under new management!!! soon to be called the Saigon Bar, it will also have many events to turn up for but at the moment a plus point for the new manager s that the beer is nicer and colder...
