Mariachi at SP was an interesting beastie!! Soooooo many people commented on how they had the “dance of the weekend” to a Mariachi tune, it also proved a challenge for some dancers… ALL debate welcome below…

The good thing is that within Mariachi: MJ, tango, WCS, and latin dancers are all catered for with tracks that are either pure MJ at it’s best or crossover… so seeing tango and MJ, or WCS and MJ, to the same songs is not uncommon… So, bring what U have: and enjoy!!!

May is almost upon us and that means MORE MARIACHI!!!!!

First off, we are delighted to be in Oakham on Sat 24th May. Simon Rich and Nicole Beckey will be coming to teach our concept class. If U haven’t done one before, these classes are not about moves: they are about giving U the tools to encourage ur own expression within the music… to help U “dance” to each song and not just do moves…

Already we have some FAB dancers booked up, with tickets already in their hands… come and join us for the ride…

The good thing is that within Mariachi: MJ, tango, WCS, and latin dancers are all catered for with tracks that are either pure MJ at it’s best or crossover… so seeing tango and MJ, or WCS and MJ, to the same songs is not uncommon… So, bring what U have: and enjoy!!!
