Salsa clubs/instructors in Paris?

The web site of the "Paris Salsa Congress" is (www.parissalsacongress.com) or (www.mondialsalsa.com) or (congres.salsabor.fr).
If you want to travel by bus or subway, you can find your way with the RATP web site (www.ratp.fr) giving the departure and the arrival address or station.
If you want to find some address or phone number (and sometimes even a web site) you can use a directory (from France Telecom I guess) (www.pagesjaunes.fr) (note the english flag on the right), the "white pages" give the adress and phone number of every person having a fixed phone (unless the person doesn't want to), and some professionals pay to be in the "yellow pages" where you can search for categories like "dance" for example.
Now it's spring time (weather) in Paris as you can check at meteo france, you've got sun and you can go out in shirt, lucky if you come to Paris this week.

The "Salsa France" web site (www.salsafrance.com) has now an english section (www.salsafrance.com/english/) where you can find for example a description of some salsa clubs in Paris (where to dance).
And the "Salsa France web Forum" gives you the latest up-to-date information on salsa parties and clubs in Paris in the "Annonces" section (it's in french but you should catch the places and dates), as well as a "Salsa" section to discuss salsa (as we do here in Dance-Forums).
It's in french but you can register and ask in english (I guess, I'm not the administrator), and I think that some will be pleased to answer you.
Bien sûr cela vous fait quel effet si soudain quelqu'un parle une autre langue?

)Super Alias, bien résumé.
I french too and I live in Paris. I'm very glad to see all these DF members ready for Salsa in Paris.
My favorite : La pachanga (MOnday) for good Cuban style. Les Etoiles (Thursday and Friday) for NY style. La Coupole (Thursday) for all style.
I think, a DF reunion will be interesting, so just send me PM and with Lita and other french guy we'll see what we can do.
PS : I'll be there for LA congress !!!! :lol: :lol:

Pleased to please.Pacion said:
I intended to do it before all of the DF members come here in Paris.
The instructors' listing would be useful for persons living in Paris too (I would have been glad to find it when I searched for different salsa teachers in order to have a salsa class almost every day of the week, now my class phase is over in Mambo too (it was already over in Cuban Casino)).
The clubs and parties listing is a sum up by day of the week, and most important by main kind of music and dance (Cuban Casino, Mambo (slotted), or both), that is the music first intended to this kind of dance (sorry I won't give more hints on the kind of salsa music), and then the kind of dance people dance most there (because I imagine a Cuban Casino only lost in a Mambo crowd, or vice-versa, even if you can always try your way).
