SLIGO SPANISH SOCIETY - SOL Y SOMBRA

  Sligo Spanish Society presents a very special bachata Workshop on Saturday March 12th in Strandhill Co. Sligo with Jonathan Navarrete.  The workshop is for those who have danced some bachata before but who want to advance their skills and techniques. It will take place from 2.30pm to 5.30pm in the Salt and Soul yoga studio, in the picturesque Sligo village of Strandhill. Jonathan teaches with Dublin Salsa Academy, and ran a very popular salsa workshop two years ago, just before the pandemic. We are delighted to have him back.  Places are limited, so it is advisable to book early. The price is €25 per person, and tickets can be booked below. Please choose "Leader" or "Follower"...

As I write, many of us are at home now without much to do, so it is a good time to learn something new.  We have decided to put some of the material from our Spanish courses online - and also to create new material and videos and upload them too - so that people can continue studying Spanish even though we have had to suspend our classes.  The blog posts and videos will, at first, be a little random - they will be for a variety of levels and will address many different topics. But whatever your level, we are sure you will find something to entertain and educate you. We will regularly add new blog posts.  Full list of all lessons now here.   If you have any requests, please get in touch; sligospanishsociety@gmail.com.  Every blog post will have a level attached. Our Level guide will be useful to help you see which videos are best for you, though of course you can watch any video you want...... COMPLETE BEGINNERS : Self-explanatory, for students who ha...
