Salsa Vibes

Ok I’m not a salsa expert, but this one was terrible. I was convinced to come here by 3 friends (2 female and 1 male) as a way to meet new people and pick up some Latin moves along the way. Sounds good.
When I get to City Dance Centre, it looked a bit dodgy but I thought I’ll give it a go. When it came to dancing, well there was some but I don’t think the students there came primarily to dance — most of them came to pick up. Also there were more guys than girls, which was a tell-​tale sign I ignored. I felt quite uncomfortable with some of the guys because they were a bit touchy feely (gross I hear you say!) or some wouldn’t talk to you while your face was 3 inches away from theirs because they had already made up their mind that you ain’t the one. Then there is the third category of men who obviously came there to pick up and were so nervous, I could feel their body and hands shaking as they danced with me. This was so not what I expected.
Needless to say I did not come back, but my friends did and they said that once you went past level 1, the students were actually more interested in the dancing rather than your potential soul-​mate status lol.
But from my experience, I wouldn’t recommend this place.
