Rohan Brown – class, animation, DJ confirmed;

It’s hard to think of anyone on the UK circuit who knows more than Rohan about what makes Salsa tick. He was the life & soul of the party, for many years, on the original UK weekenders: Club Cubana at Pontins. He is the complete showman, and a superb teacher of anything you care to name. More recently, Rohan has been involved in the Blackpool Tower Inferno events; his Salsa Holidays; and his e-commerce site Salsa Fever, Birmingham.

Ashleigh Lewis (Leeds) recently brought her ‘Dolly Mixtures’ street-dance troupe to the Shed, to much acclaim. She now returns with her Afro-Dancehall troupe.

Twice UK Salsa champions, & voted ‘Top UK Salsa Teachers’, Miguel & Mayana - Romania & Russia, via London – are very classy. Like all top artists, they make it look smooth & effortless.
