ballroom / salsa dancing and singing lessons in Dubai.

and I fully expect this thread to be royally hijacked and much derision directed towards me...

I did say I'd try to find out for someone.... the info is clearly not for me.

Any help though?

When I read the first few lines I thought you had gone mad!!

I know someone who is into ballroom dancing and lots of other dances. I will find out tomorrow where she goes.

If you have Time Out there are some places listed for salsa. There are a few places on the Beach Road but cannot think of them off hand.

I can't help with the ballroom stuff but I have a friend who is a mean salsa dancer and he does private classes for mixed groups...always seems to have a lot of ridiculously attractive women for some reason though

If you're interested PM me and I'll put you in touch with him. The lessons are very relaxed and informal...I've done a few proper lessons and always found it to be a bit stuffy and unforgiving for chaps with two left feet like myself.

No idea there...seems like you are planning to star in a musical!

Try The Alchemy of Voice by Stewart Pearce - has some good things about the voice in general.
