Salsa Classes in London — Every Monday
Changó's weekly Monday night — Crossbody and Cali Salsa classes, plus social dancing, at The Amadeus.
Every Monday at The Amadeus in Maida Vale, we run a Crossbody Salsa class from 7–8pm, a Cali Salsa class from 8–9pm, and social dancing from 9–10.30pm. Come for one class, both, or just the social — it is all part of the same night.
Mondays at Changó are built for learning and dancing together — a relaxed, weekly rhythm rather than a one-off night out. Whether you are brand new to salsa or brushing up your Cali style, there is a class pitched at your level every week.
Our Monday nights attract complete beginners, improvers, and experienced Crossbody and Cali-style dancers alike. No partner needed — come solo or bring friends, and you will always find someone to practise with.
The Amadeus sits on Shirland Road in Maida Vale, West London, just a 5-minute walk from Warwick Avenue station. The venue has a spacious wooden dance floor with a proper sound system — plenty of room to learn and to dance.
Changó's Monday classes are run by dancers who care about teaching Crossbody and Cali style properly, then giving you the chance to actually use it on the social floor straight after. It is the easiest way to go from your first steps to your first proper night out dancing salsa.
Part Of Cali Beat
Changó is brought to you by Cali Beat a salsa school based in Chiswick, W4. We teach courses in both Crossbody and Cali salsa. For more info click below.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our weekly Monday salsa classes at Changó.
Every Monday at The Amadeus in Maida Vale (W9 2JA), Changó runs a Crossbody Salsa class (7–8pm), a Cali Salsa class (8–9pm), and social dancing (9–10.30pm).
Not at all! Our classes and socials are designed for solo dancers — you will rotate partners in class and find plenty of people to dance with during the social.
No — come to the Crossbody class, the Cali class, both, or just the social afterwards. Whatever suits your schedule and level.
Our Monday classes welcome complete beginners through to improvers. Instructors pitch each class to the room, so you will always be challenged at the right level.
We play 100% salsa — timba, salsa dura, romántica, and everything in between — for the social dancing from 9–10.30pm.
See our events section for the current price — it covers both classes and the social dancing.
Comfortable clothing you can move in and smooth-soled shoes work best. Avoid trainers with sticky rubber soles — they make it hard to spin on the dance floor.
Yes! Monday is specifically built for beginners — the Crossbody class at 7pm is a great first step, and the atmosphere is relaxed and supportive all night.
The Amadeus is at 50 Shirland Rd, Maida Vale, London W9 2JA — a 5-minute walk from Warwick Avenue station on the Bakerloo line. Buses 6, 46, and 187 stop right outside.
