Enjoy your week off and come back raring to go with November teacher Nik M.
Thank you to all our community for a fantastic year! We hope you all have an opportunity to spend time with your family and/or friends over the Christmas period.
Thursday night salsa will return on 12 January, but keep an eye on our Facebook page for other events where you can get your salsa fix!

Due to the Hobart Show Day public holiday the Italian Club will be closed on Thursday 21 October 2021, so unfortunately there will be no salsa on that day.
Casa Cubana is pleased to announce that Thursday night salsa is resuming on January 7th.
What’s staying the same:
– Same venue – the Italian Club, North Hobart. Meals and drinks available.
– Same classes and social dancing structure.
– Social dancing still free.
– Same great times to be had!
What’s different:
– Contactless payment available (and preferred)
– Small price increase to $12 per class, $18 for both.
– QR code check in required for contact tracing purposes
– Hand sanitiser galore!
We still need to be COVID safe, so if you have any cold or flu-like symptoms please stay away and follow government guidelines for testing.
We look forward to catching up with everyone in 2021!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: CLASSES AND EVENTS SUSPENDED
It is with much regret that Casa Cubana is suspending its weekly Thursday night salsa classes and social dancing at the Italian Club, from and including this Thursday the 19th. Salsa at Salamanca every Saturday outside Machine Café is also suspended, as are the Launceston road trip and transition block course, until further notice.
With the current COVID-19 virus around the world and now in Tasmania, our feeling is that we all need to act to reduce the spread of this infection. For a virus that is spread by respiratory droplets, contact from surfaces and clothing, and from close proximity with other people, salsa dancing would pose a high risk of transmission if and when it comes into our midst. National guidelines recommend keeping your distance and not meeting in large groups. Suspending classes is one extra step we can take to help keep our community safe.
Although we will miss dancing with you all, our hope is that we can stay safe and resume dancing once this whole thing blows over. Keep an eye out on our facebook page for when things resume…..hopefully in the not too distant future!

Some of you may be wondering what the status is of Thursday night salsa given the current situation with coronavirus.
Casa Cubana takes the health of of our dancers seriously, and as such we are monitoring the situation closely. At the moment the current advice is that public events should proceed, but it is strongly recommended that people that are unwell should not attend. This is particularly so for people who have recently travelled from overseas.
So on that note, classes and social dancing will continue as normal until further notice. We ask that people heed the advice above as well as exercise good hygiene practices by washing their hands with soap and water before and after class, and after dancing with anyone socially.
See you on the dance floor!
Casa Cubana is taking a break from Thursday night classes over the Christmas period. The last night for 2017 is December 14th. Classes resume as normal on Thursday 11th January 2018. For details on classes click here.
Saturdays at Salamanca continue throughout the break. Keep an eye on our facebook page for all the latest news on what’s happening salsa-wise in Hobart.
