Hi Everyone,

cakeOn Thursday 4th March we will be celebrating 2 Years of Alchemy Dance Academy at its home in Basingstoke! And what a two years it has been! We've taken great pleasure in watching the academy grow, along with our students' dancing. For us the Academy is a work-in-progress. We are always looking for ways to make improvements, both in how we run the school, and in our methods of teaching salsa the Alchemy Way. Those of you who have been with us since we opened in Basingstoke will have seen many changes over the 2 years, hopefully for the better! We thank you for your continued support and helping us in the creation of our dream salsa academy! Hope you can join us to celebrate on the 4th March for a night of classes and dancing, with some birthday cake at the end of the evening!!

ALCHEMY DANCE ACADEMY... 'ON TOUR'!!!

Following the success of our Alchemy group at the Salsa Splash weekender in January (there were 30 people from the Academy!), we are organising a group booking for two more Salsa Splash weekenders this year. There is Salsa Splash, Botley, Southampton 23-26 July & Salsa Splash, Hayling Island 24-27 September

Run by Mambo City, both weekends offer 2 full days of workshops, 3 nights of parties, shows, black tie dinner&dance, theme night, leisure facilities and much much more! The Alchemy group organises tables for our evening meals together, group fancy dress for the theme night, we aim to have our rooms/chalets allocated in the same area, and have a 'buddie-up' system if you would like a fellow Alchemy-Splasher to share a room with! Great for newbies and seasoned weekender-goers alike! Join Marchant, Davina and your Academy friends for two fabulous weekends.

As the Hayling Island weekender is the longest running and is sell-out event, we are submitting our group early. Booking forms and deposits of £65 per person need to be handed in at the Academy by Thursday 4th March (along with post-dated cheque for the balance).

Full details of both weekends can be found on the Mambo City website. Our group organiser is Sharon Hitchcock who can be contacted at sharonth@gmail.com or see her on Thursdays at the Academy.


There is more info below about the Academy and special events coming up. Keep also checking our websites as they are kept up-to-date with all the latest news.

See you on the dancefloor soon!
