Opening January 2027

A home for salsa in Paisley

We're moving into our own studio, R&S Studios at the Robertson Centre, 16 Glasgow Road, Paisley. Classes, socials, workshops and private lessons, all under one roof, with Greenock classes carrying on as normal.

New beginner groups will start every month, so you'll never wait long to begin.

Why Buddie Salsa

Proper Cuban salsa, taught properly

  • Taught by Paul. Our core Cuban salsa programme is taught by Paul himself.
  • No partner needed. Partners rotate in class, just like a ceilidh.
  • A clear pathway. Beginner to Improver to Intermediate, at a pace that suits you.
  • Close to home. Quality classes in Paisley and Greenock, with no trek into Glasgow.
  • Over 18s, all abilities. Two left feet? Perfect. That's where everyone starts.

Community is everything

Buddies are warm and sociable. They love Cuban salsa, but they also love each other's company and look out for each other.

They're couples, and they're single people looking for good company. Some use dancing to look after their mental health. They don't take themselves too seriously, but they work hard to get better.

There are no cliques. We welcome dancers from our school and every other school, and go to events locally, nationally and internationally together.

Just completed my first course, it was fabulous. Great instructor in Paul, and a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Having an absolute ball.

Alison

It's not just classes, there are loads of social events and balls, and a European trip this year for a salsa festival. It feels more like a community rather than just a class. Everyone is very friendly and they are all a great bunch of people.

It was great fun and I loved every minute. It's a great way to learn dance and meet new friends. Paul has a great teaching method and his motto is anyone can dance. Under his instruction I think you can. Defo recommend his classes.
