Get Ready – Salsa Bachata South West – Cup Challenge – Begins in 2027
The Salsa Bachata South West Cup Challenge begins in 2027!
You now have plenty of time to learn, train, and prepare for Salsa and Bachata pair‑dance.
Come along whenever you’re ready — every visit helps you feel more confident.
Personality, enjoyment and connection matter just as much as steps, so even if you start late you can still win.
Learning is important
The more you come, the more you learn. Everyone welcome, from complete beginners to experienced dancers.

There will also be a bit of friendly town rivalry, but only on the dance floor and always in good spirit. Good luck, and see you all soon!
