Workshops are held In the City of London:

Lady styling is a mixture of latin flavor with funk, sexy finesse, elegance and confidence, which is also seemed as personality or attitude.
"A woman shines when she is able to express her femininity, sensuality, musicality and personality when dancing."

"There are two reasons why I keep coming back to the ladies' styling workshops:
Firstly it is an excellent workout - I always lose some pounds. Secondly and more importantly, improves my styling and dancing in general.
When I first started the workshop I looked like a piece of rusted metal, I wanted to imitate the teacher's, Maria, movements but my body would not follow my brain's commands.
At the end of the session I thought it was all too difficult and I hadn't been able to memorise any of it. However, the next time I danced salsa unexpectedly several guys told me that I had really improved and asked me if I had been practicing a lot!! Obviously I returned to the second ladies styling.
After the 4th workshop my body is no longer "rusted".
I feel now that my movements are wavier and sexier; furthermore my turns and spins are much better.
I also have quite a lot of fun in that class. Guess what! When I danced again with the guys all of them complimented me on my dancing skills. Great!!..
So I'll keep coming to the ladies styling whenever there's one available... ;-)"

"Hi Maria,
Firstly thank you once again for the workshop last Sunday.
It was great, and covered exactly the things I'd been wanting to learn! I think it will take a lot of practice though, before I am ready to use those moves outside the dance studio!!"
