Half the room did. Partners rotate every few minutes, so you will dance with twenty people before nine.
Our story
Four doors up
Four doors up
from Pisco's
Marmalade Club is brand new. It is the second thing on this street from the family behind Pisco's Dalston at number 16, the Peruvian kitchen four doors down, run by people who spent years running restaurants in Peru before they ran one here. Their restaurant back home, El Aguajal, won awards. This one will be judged on whether you dance.
Number 8 had been sitting empty. Twelve-foot ceilings, brick to the back wall and a wooden floor that was asking for something, so in went a bar, a proper rig and a teaching team, and out came a salsa club. The pisco sours are the same recipe as next door. So is the welcome.
We open with three classes a week and club nights Thursday to Saturday. Everything after that, the socials, the live bands, the ball, gets built around whoever turns up in the first few months. If that sounds like you, the first class is twelve pounds.

The bar is the same barSame pisco, same hands, same recipes as number 16. A club that takes the drinks as seriously as the dancing.
