Ayesha has been training in salsa for several years and will do two introductory sessions in May as tasters to see what level of interest there is in the city.<\/p>\n Ayesha said: \u201cSalsa is, by its very nature, a fusion dance with its origins in Latin American and European dance and movement styles. It is lively, interactive and great fun.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy teaching will combine the sensuous and energetic qualities of salsa with the improvisory feel of Echo Echo\u2019s contemporary style.
