Cuban dance

Havana Salsa run Cuban dance classes at The Orange Tree Bar on George Street, with the next beginner course starting on Tuesday 5 January 2027. The sessions run on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 pm, and the school describes itself as a beginner-friendly door into Latin dance.

It's an award-winning Cuban salsa school that specialises in Latin dance classes from beginner to advanced levels. The programme is built around structured seven-week beginner courses, so if you've never danced before, that's where you'll start. From there, you can work your way up through the levels as you get more comfortable.

Beyond the weekly classes, there are Latin Fiesta social nights with live Cuban music and DJs, private lessons, wedding dance tuition, corporate workshops, and school sessions. The school runs across more than 22 venues nationwide and also offers online classes, so you're not limited to the Derby studio. They also stage the UK's biggest New Year Latin festival, which in its 2026 Birmingham edition drew more than 500 dancers over three days.

The next beginner course starts on Tuesday 5 January 2027 at The Orange Tree Bar, 5 George Street, Derby, DE1 1EH, with sessions running on Tuesdays from 7:15 pm.
