'My wife and I have always loved dancing, ballroom and disco at  parties etc. That changed when on a night out in Manchester we came across Lorraine teaching a salsa class. First it was the fabulous music that attracted us then watching her enthusiastically teach the class we were hooked. On holiday in a salsa club the DJ came over and asked if we were taught in Cuba, no... but our teacher was !"

A lovely testimonial from Duncan 

“To the citizens of Knutsford I say :-

YOU LUCKY, LUCKY PEOPLE!   My salsa dance teacher and friend of  20 years, Lorraine Mason has moved to your area and is launching regular afternoon and evening classes in Cuban Salsa dance and its relatives like Cha-Cha-Cha. If you want to feel alive,  lose weight, banish depression, becoming the master of social media, not its slave ,interact mentally with nice people in a safe environment, and learn about Afro-Cuban culture and music which has become a main ingredient of popular music…..

Then take classes for a month  ; Lorraine has studied with Cuban masters in Cuba and has worked out the best ways to break it down into chunks that stiff English adults can assimilate.

 

I and her other pupils are living proof of her method.  I have been fighting Parkinson’s disease for 10 years, the doctors are all in favour of my dancing which has taken me round a dozen countries  like a universal language.”
