The New Year is almost here, and what better way to start 2007 by learning a novel skill? For example, how to dance salsa? Extremos is one of the biggest – and in my opinion, the best – dance schools in Amsterdam. They teach all week long and classes are a great place to learn the basics and meet new friends. Most of the classes are held at Cantinero in the Heinekenplein, so it’s always nice to stay after class, have a drink and continue practicing your newfound talent.

Classes start again January 15. Don’t be late in signing up!
