I visited the Acosta Dance Centre with Melissa Rayne in September 2023 and wrote about my visit in My Visit to the Acosta Dance Centre on 28 Nov 2025.  Since then, I have been keeping in touch with the Centre through its newsletter ADC Express.

The latest issue of that newsletter announces some fascinating workshops, including in particular A Journey into Afro-Brazilian Arts on Sunday, 15 Jun 2025 between 10:00 and 19:00, the “Alafia” 2025 Afro Cuban Dance Festival between 10:00 on Friday, 11 Jul 2025 and 17:00 on Sunday, 13 July 2025 and Tango Puro between 10:00 on Saturday 9 Aug 2025 and 17:00 on Sunday 10 Aug 2025.  The fee for the last course has been reduced from £120 to £90.  There are also lots of classes from floor barre at 11:00 today to pointe work at 13:15 on 28 Jun.

The Acosta Dance Centre differs from other studios in that it is linked to the Acosta Danza company, the Acosta Dance Foundation and the Academy in Cuba.  It seems to have a dual mission to promote dance at all levels in Cuba as well as the UK.

The Centre is very close to Woolwich Elizabeth line station and a short walk from Woolwich railway and Docklands Light  Railway station.
