"Counting Track
123... 567..."

It's something you've been asking for and it's hot off the press gang... and as far as I can see the only place it's available is on iTunes - they're labelling it as an "exclusive online offer"...

UK based Alex Wilson has a new album out in a couple of weeks and it looks like they've released a counting/timing track to tickle your taste buds...

So, if you've been looking for one of those songs that counts along with you "123... 567..." this is the one for you - he also talks in the various instruments as they go along - I reckon it works well... enjoy...

"Abanico Salsa Cake..."
Massive thanks to Sue Fisher, The Hand Stadium's "Salsa Godmother", for the fantastic cake to celebrate Abanico salsa's first birthday at The Hand Stadium - Sue has been with Bill & Den since they started last year, only missing 1 week when she was on holiday!
(Don't worry - they've had a word and she's promised it won't happen again!)

"Abanico Salsa on Facebook"

At last... we have bowed to public pressure and now created an Abanico Salsa group on Facebook...! We are just getting to grips with it and will be updating it on a continuing basis to keep any members posted on what's going on in the Abanico Salsa world... we may even also offer benefits to members over the coming months...

Anyone can join the group so feel free to get involved - as well as receiving all the latest news and checking out our photos and videos, members can upload any of their own photos and videos that they wish to share with the group, or just start a chat topic to get people talking...

See you on there...

"New Team Members"

Since Monica's Salsa retirement we have been making a few changes to the website etc... as a result you can now check out the profiles of two more of our teachers/promoters on the Meet The Team page.

Anyone who has been to our Plymouth or Torquay classes, or Salsa Saturdays @ The Grosvenor, over the last 8 years will know Dave pretty well by now! Sonja should be a familiar face to those of you who come along to our Exmouth classes - or to anyone who attends almost any Salsa party in the South West as she can usually be found there!
