A Night of Dance, Joy, and Community!

On a chilly and cozy evening, the Student Life Team at UWE Bristol hosted a memorable Salsa Night that brought students together for a delightful fusion of music, dance, and culture in our fantastic new MOVE studio on Purdown View.

The event, held in collaboration with the fantastic instructors from SalsaJoy UK, provided the perfect opportunity for students to unwind, meet new people, and learn some incredible salsa moves. As soon as the music started playing, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. The student life team provided salsa dips and refreshments for students to enjoy during the event. SalsaJoy UK’s talented instructors took centre stage, greeting everyone with enthusiasm and providing a warm and inclusive environment for all attendees, regardless of their dancing experience.

Learning the basics

Attendees quickly mastered the basic steps of salsa dancing. The patient and passionate instructors guided everyone through the fundamentals of this lively Latin dance, breaking down the moves in an easy-to-follow way. Laughter, rhythm, and a sense of camaraderie filled the room as pairs twirled and stepped to the captivating beats.

Connecting through dancing

Salsa Night brought together individuals from different backgrounds and cultures, all united by the shared experience of learning something new. Whether you came with a friend or joined in solo, the dance floor became a space for forming new friendships and creating lasting memories.

We would like to extend our thanks to SalsaJoy UK for their incredible teaching, and enthusiasm, and for making the night an absolute success. For those who attended, we hope you enjoyed the experience and perhaps discovered a new hobby! 

Keep an eye out for more exciting events hosted by the Student Life Team, and if you didn’t get a chance to attend this time, be sure not to miss the next opportunity to dance the night away next time!
