Nu Salsa is a new concept of dance classes. They are taught by David Hynes and Suzanne Coates, which are the best duo of salsa in Ireland.

They will be teaching at the Scottish Salsa Congress in Edinburgh and Irish Salsa School in Maynooth plus a lot of other events.

Nu Salsa - Learn Salsa — Nu Salsa – Learn Salsa

Nu Salsa are always known to do things their own way, even if that means doing things differently from everyone else, but the proof of this approach shows in the good dancers that come through our classes. They have been taught by some of the best teachers in the world and it is our mission to pass on that teaching to our own students in Belfast and around Ireland.

Every two Fridays they teach salsa in different locations (night clubs, academies, congresses).

David and Suzanne have taught previously at Irish Salsa School, the Cork Salsa Bonanza and Donegal Dance Asylum, along with many guest teaching slots throughout the country. Our aim is to pass on our knowledge of salsa to our students in Belfast and help them fall in love with salsa as much as we enjoy it. If you would like to talk to us about our classes, teaching style or anything related to salsa dancing, please get in touch as we would love to chat.

True Story – Movie

North America / USA / New York

One of the films that caught our attention is The True, this story is about a journalist named Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) who is fired from his job in the New York Times, and seeking new employment opportunities, ends up being contacted by Christian Longo (James Franco) who is accused of violently murdering his entire family, and goes slowly proper identity of Finkel.

This film is very interesting because both players are playing cat and mouse during the criminal investigation which seeks the true story where murder is expressed, love, deceit and redemption.

Through the course of the film there are many sentences that give us a lot to think, among which are:

“Many journalists write that your readers like and want to read, do not take the time to find out the truth about what really happened”

“We always believe what they want to believe, no matter what you say”

True Story - Movie - Scene 1 — True Story – Movie – Scene 1

There are also many messages within the frame among which are the following:

Many people know how to express themselves, have feelings or emotions, but sometimes, some have both feelings and need another to make themselves understood, especially if two people are alike.
It also shows the manipulation that can have a person with another (psychologically or physically), with only tempt him with something that identifies you or really want, and if you want to know the life of another person can be wrapped while to identify with, until the lies are true to one another; reaching losing their own personality or identity.
The truth is very dangerous, because if one is involved in the lies and the latter come to light

Who can say what will happen then? What blow in life both in work and personally affected?
