Peter,
began running clubs in 1996 and has been instructing since he was first let down
by a teacher, several minutes later. He is a dedicated turophile and is the lynchpin of the least successful
Mott The Hoople tribute act in Hertfordshire. He instructs at beginner and
improver level at all the clubs.

Gordon
and Cherryl were members of the team that won the 2003 World Rueda
Championships. Gordon is more proud of the fact that he regularly gets called off the bench to play in The
Red Lion Seniors 5-a-side 4th team. Amazingly he weighs only
230g. Gordon teaches the intermediate and advanced classes at Hitchin on alternate Tuesdays.

Tom. Dances everything,
and dances it beautifully. Can be relied upon to add style to any
move. Also a martial arts instructor. Be warned. Ever-present
at Welwyn (intermediate salsa), teaches Latin
and Ballroom in St.Albans every Thursday, and Tango
in Hatfield every Sunday

Ali only eats foods that begin
with the letters 'P' and 'C', and lives on pies, pizzas, chips, cake and
chocolate while eschewing broad beans and sprouts. She took up dancing 6
years ago and has now developed freakishly uneven legs from spinning so
much. She partners Tom at Welwyn, Hatfield and St.Albans.

Charlotte
has
forged a career in salsa despite the enormous handicap of being both glamorous
and talented. Dances lots of styles besides salsa. She teaches at Hitchin on alternate Tuesdays (intermediate and advanced) and Welwyn
on alternate Wednesdays (advanced). On her night off she celebrates Christmas.

Simon is better known to
dance-enthusiasts as The Lord Bachata. The reasons for this remain
shrouded in mystery. Simon won the European Bachata championships at the
Salsa Congress in 2007.

The other Peter, has only ever been
photographed once. It is alleged that he was raised by hill farmers in
South America after being found in a cave as an infant, and is still more
comfortable on a slope. He DJ's a bit and sings like an angel, only
without the general religious themes or the wings. Teaches at Hitchin on Tuesday.

David & Julie. Julie
is the glamorous one, David is the nearly as glamorous one. They run a few clubs of their
own and like to come and show us how it should be done every now and
then.

Keira. Doesn't work for us
any more. It turned out that her dancing skills matched her
acting. That is; she gives the impression of a painfully-slow donkey watching a
card trick. I can only apologise to the many people from whom she borrowed money.

Thierry
is said to be considering a
change of career and may be teaching for us one day. He was overheard in the Portland Arms the other
night admitting that he was "suffering from a level of ennui I would
have considered implausible only a short time ago, and of kicking a little
round ball for a living, in particular. Surely there's more to life
than football, knitting and beer. Va va voom."

Brad
also doesn't work for us, having been caught going through the bins once
too often.

How did you get in here?
