You Can Even Learn to Salsa Dance In Prison

Hopefully prison isn’t the place you decide to learn how to salsa dance, but if you ever go there, at least you’ll have a good instructor.

At Kirkham Jail near Preston, Lancs in the UK, both prisoners and guards are getting free salsa dance lessons by an inmate who is known as an expert Salsa dance instructor. They aren’t revealing exactly who that instructor is, but it’s being said that he’s a world class level teacher.

The lessons take place every Wednesday night and the instructor also provides separate lessons to the guards during the weekends.

So far, the lessons have proven to be huge success and the prisoners love it. The prison has been quick to note that this is not funded by the Prison Service, but is instead a prisoner initiative. They have also stated that the Salsa lessons are always monitored by staff and do not replace work, training or education.

I think it sounds like a good deal. I only have one question; are they dancing together or are they learning to Salsa dance solo?
