Dance2Salsa Dance Company
As a dance company we are dedicated to exploring the wonderful world of Cross Body Salsa, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Salsa Dura, Guaguanco and other Latin and Afro related dances in the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey areas. Salsa, Cha Cha Cha and Mambo provide a fantastic, fun, social evening out, and a great opportunity to make new friends.
Our mission at Dance2Salsa Dance Company is to raise the profile and standard of the Latin Dances. We currently hold regular weekly classes on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as well as monthly Friday, Saturday and Sunday parties in High Wycombe and Maidenhead. Dance2salsa Dance Company aims to provide an unparalleled dance experience through the quality of venues provided and by delivering expert levels of tuition by suitably qualified individuals using a well researched and structured syllabus. Further, we aim to play some of the greatest salsa, mambo, cuban, latin-funk, afro-latin jazz, cha cha cha, and guaguanco music available today.

Tracie’s Latin Club
My wonderful Mum was my inspiration for setting up Tracie’s Latin Club. She loved dancing and regularly went waltzing and jitterbugging during the war. She passed on the gift of a love for dance by taking me to Ballet and then Ballroom & Latin lessons.
Having learnt salsa in London when it first hit the UK, my job took me to Southampton in 1994 where I found a very limited Salsa scene. I decided to teach Salsa on a Wednesday night to complement the existing club night run by Steve & Kathryn Tracey. My friend, Mish and I began teaching in May 1996, every Wednesday at Bannisters Ballroom, Hulse Road (now a block of flats).
A few years later TLC became my full time occupation and I’ve never looked back. Little did I know that my hobby would change my life and culminate in a buzzing friendly Salsa scene in Hampshire, expanding to include Argentine Tango, Ballroom & Latin, Bachata and Kizomba – as well as having my own fabulous dance studio.
It gives me great joy to pass on the love of dance to others, as my Mum did to me, so please do come and join us.
