Also coming up... is our next workshop installment at TLC - 'Moves with Musicality'. The last 'MwM' was so popular, we've been asked to do it again! For those who did the last one, it will be a different musical interpretation this time, giving you further insight into this fundamental aspect of dance.
... Davina has a 3 hour ladies styling workshop in Reading (and we might let slip that this will be your first opportunity to pre-order the next Alchemy DVD...oops!).
... Mambo City are holding a 'Prelude to the 5*Congress' party at the Radisson Hotel, Heathrow, where we will be teaching and performing. More details below.

We must give more mention to the brilliant week we had in Lloret de Mar at Salsa Splash Spain. Photos and videos are already popping up all over Facebook! Check out our gallery too! There were lots of new and familiar faces on the holiday, who all had a fabulous time... I think we would all agree it was the best yet! We were really pleased to have Sue Whitman join us on the holiday. Not only was she great company, but Sue was one of the first beginners at Alchemy Dance Academy in Basingstoke, and 7 months on she did us proud on the dancefloor!! Well done Sue!! We hope that more of you will be joining us next year... yes it was hot and sunny in October... and yes that is Marchant with a 'bonnet de douche' on his head (aka shower cap)!

Finally, if you haven't seen it already and want a sneaky peak at our latest show, there is a video clip in our gallery. Obviously you can't beat a live performance, so we hope to see you soon at one of the events we'll be showcasing at!

 

There is more info below including the special events we will be teaching/performing at over the next few weeks. Keep also checking our websites as they are kept up-to-date with all the latest news.

See you on the dancefloor soon!
