Shahid Khan began his salsa journey in 2001 and now teaches classes to Cardiff dancers. <\/span><\/p>\n

He runs weekly classes and monthly events after being inspired by world class professionals.<\/p>\n

He said he was persuaded to go to a salsa class and has not looked back since. His mentors not only taught him to dance, but instilled the \u201cenergy, passion and desire\u201d to go with it.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>The classes started when I returned to Cardiff from living in London, where I learned to dance,\u201d said Shahid. \u201cPeople commented that my standard and technique of dancing was such that I should be teaching.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He runs classes for absolute beginners to more advanced dancers. Once you demonstrate a certain level of understanding and ability, you can move up!<\/p>\n

The classes run Monday to Thursday at different venues. This allows for a larger number of people to attend as they aren\u2019t restricted to only one day.<\/p>\n

The monthly events are a bit different to the classes. The nights start off with salsa and bachata classes, but end with a club night.<\/p>\n

\"You

You can wear any clothes you like\u2026 just make sure to wear flat shoes!<\/p><\/div>\n

Sana Malik (34) attends the monthly events all the time. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to see friends,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing, Sana said, \u201cI like that we can have the class then dance the rest of the night away! I do attend the weekly classes but the events are fun as there is always a great DJ and a guest teacher.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Salsa Buena also helps charities to fundraise. Shahid noticed that smaller, less generally emotive charities can find it harder to get the resources to fundraise than bigger charities.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Salsa Buena Charity Initiative was born out of his hope that charities should get an equal opportunity to fundraise for their cause.<\/p>\n
