Salsa & Bachata in the Park V
Hi Guys. We are back for the Summer!!!!
A big word of thanks to the OPW for granting the permit for this event. It is greatly appreciated.
We will be at the Phoenix Park Bandstand near the Phoenix Park Tearooms.
**Location**: https://goo.gl/maps/BFiDJFmLyFVBNmVR9
**Date**: June 20, 2026
**Time**:
14.30-15.15: Rueda de Casino Class
15.15-17.30: Free Practice with Rueda Reviews & Animations.
Please note the following:
1. This is a concrete surface, so factor that into your choice of footwear.
2. In the case of bad weather, the bandstand itself is roofed, so there should be no problem with rain etc, but numbers will be much more limited, with no over-spill spaces.
3. Please feel free to bring snacks etc., however, please bring something to bring your rubbish home in, as bins in that area of Phoenix Park are a little sparse.
4. The Phoenix Park Tearooms are an excellent facility and serve wonderful coffee, tea, treats. Please consider them as an option for your pre-dancing turbo boost. It does no harm to get on well with our neighbours. There are toilets there too, but they are normally quite busy.
5. Please don't come if feeling unwell.
6. This event is free of charge.
Belly Dance Movement for Wellbeing
A relaxed belly dance-inspired movement session in Dublin city centre.
This class is an accessible movement practice designed to support wellbeing, posture, and gentle full-body fitness.
We work from simple foundational movements and focus on:
โจ Core strength and stability
โจ Posture and body alignment
โจ Hip, lower back, and leg mobility
โจ Coordination and balance
โจ Body awareness and relaxation
No experience is required. This is an open-level session where we explore movement in a simple and supportive way, without performance pressure. The focus is on how the body feels, not how it looks.
