I’m in Swansea visiting family, and was hoping to do some social dancing while I’m here. Is there dancing after the classes at Monkey Bar? Any other dancing going on? Does anyone drive up to Cardiff for salsa dancing that I could get a ride with?

There is dancing after classes in the Monkey.

I’ve seen alot of comments about classes starting and stopping around swansea I’m trying to find a class that people know for sure it is still open.any one??

Hi Ben,

The classes at the Monkey Bar are on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9:30 with social dancing till late. This is currently the main night in Swansea and is a regular night.

As far as know there have been just two occasions since last November when it hasn’t been on. The most recent time was about a month ago when the venue was closed for refurbishment.

I was there last week though and had a good time, and although the refurbishment work is not yet complete I believe that the classes will be running as normal from now on.

There are also classes at Que Pasa also on Tuesday night from about 8:00. Again as far as I know this is also a regular night, but it’s a bit of a shame that it clashes with the classes at the Monkey Bar as it would otherwise mean you could go to two regular classes in Swansea.

Hope this helps, have fun!

Hei there salseros!
Am coming to my hometown Swansea for a holiday in two weeks... I currently live in Oslo Norway... can anyone give me an update on where I can go dancing in swansea in August... also some info on courses would be good. Is there anyone who could give me intensive two week private tuition... what would this eventually cost... cheers
