We’re excited to welcome Karthik Tinku and his dance partner Lauren to our Salsa for Charity night! Karthik is a talented bachata artist from India who teaches both in the UK and India. He runs regular bachata classes in Newcastle and Darlington, where he shares his expertise as both a teacher and choreographer.  Karthik also leads his dance team, Latin Heaven, which performs at events across the UK.

​

In addition to teaching, Karthik will be DJing all night, keeping the energy high with a great mix of music. Whether you’re new to bachata or looking to sharpen your skills, Karthik’s passion and experience will make for an inspiring evening.

​

I'm a salsa dancer and teacher and I organise the Salsa for Charity events. I teach social salsa dancing because a) it's FUN and b) it does absolute WONDERS for our physical and mental wellbeing. The beginner's salsa class will run in the bar area in conjunction with the main classes.  No partner or dance experience needed.

​​​THE CHOSEN CAUSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

This month, we are supporting BBC Children in Need, a charity that helps children facing challenges such as poverty, mental health issues, and social inequality. They fund nearly 1,500 projects across the UK, providing vital support to young people.

​

One example is the Southwick Neighbourhood Youth Project in Sunderland, which received £75,000 to help children affected by poverty. They provide a safe space for children to have fun, promote physical activity, and build their confidence.

​

Your support helps Children in Need continue this essential work.
