Latin Junction by Salsa Montuno & Kiz Junction

On behalf of Salsa Montuno and the organising team of Kiz Junction we are excited to welcome you all back to our new event Latin Junction, to be held on the 4th of September in the Main Room at Almondsbury Creative, just off M5 junction 16. A Improver / Intermediate Salsa class with our guest teacher Edwin Rodriguez Ovalle, followed by 5 hours of nonstop Salsa, Bachata and ChaCha by Dj Swift in a great venue. This year we are proud to say we have joined up with Kiz Junction to offer not one but two events on the same evening. For the great price of £10 not only do you get access to Latin Junction, but you will also have free access to Kiz Junction for your Kizomba and Semba, fix if so inclined. Each month these two events will be hosting top teachers and DJ’s. Due to the current COVID pandemic we feel it’s our social responsibility to help protect our dance community from contracting the illness. Due to a vaccinated person still being able to carry the virus, we would like to ask everyone to take a lateral flow test which are free from your local chemist, and a negative result is a pre-requisite to attend the event. Once you have submitted and registered your result (instructions how to do so are in the packaging), you will receive a text confirming your negative result and this can be used as proof for entry. Masks are by personal choice, just be aware some people in the event may choose not to wear one, that is their choice. Guest Teacher Edwin Rodriguez Ovalle Edwin Rodriguez was born in Mexico City and he is an exceptional dancer in so many disciplines. Edwin helped found Latin Brothers UK and is a very humble professional dancer, who specialises in Latin Rhythms. Combining this with his contemporary style, Edwin composes unique performances which leave his audience captivated. His other main passion is choreography and teaching people of all abilities and ages to dance. He has studied with the great International Salsa Teachers, with Ballet Masters and body movement coaches, honing his skills, expanding his abilities and understanding more every day the intricacies of this varied and powerful dance. He has been performing nationally and internationally over the last 6 years and rightly so having won various competitions along the way in Mexico. Edwin moved to the UK in 2016 and he is currently performing and teaching at Salsa Socials and Congresses across the UK. His goal is to expand Salsa throughout the UK bringing that unique touch of Mexican flavour. Almondsbury Creative 10 Gloucester Road Almondsbury BS32 4AA
