Party with Jose y Guateque 30th Jan 2010

At Sutton Staithe Hotel, Norwich UK. We again had Jose and his band Guateque. This time with a full stage of 9 band members. The sets were full of new tracks which included everything you would expect from a very authentic Cuban band. In the second set Jose, Alex and Casper played their Bata drums to the Orisha.

All the profits of £ 430 on the night went to a Charity for the children of Haiti. This was made up of proceeds of a Raffle in which included mobile phones several bottles of Whiskey lots of bottles of wine, beer and not a bath cube in sight ! All given by friends and people from our class. Also the balance of ticket price of £8 after the venue was paid for and the fact we had to force the band to be paid, after which they made a donation anyway.  Thank you Jennifer and Zenda who made the prizes into great looking packages and all there hard work in taking the money.

Stage at Sutton Staithe Hotel waiting for the band. The room looked perfect with over 1200 led Christmas lights on all the walls, dance floors and stage.

With nearly 100 people the venue was full with a bar to hold up those who preferred to stand.

Tuesday Salsa Class in Acle 26th Jan 2010

Another great night in Acle. Two classes and a equal numbers of guys and Girls in the improvers and only one Lady extra in the Beginners. My ears didn’t stop burning on the way home in the car as Sharon told me for the 20th time how good hers beginners were. At the end of the class she had them doing Rueda’s and they just soaked it up.

Don’t forget Yanet, originally from Cuba, is on “So you think you can dance” BBC 1 on Sat night she is one of the last few remaining girls left. Yanet teachers at most of the Cuban Salsa Weekenders around the country and Europe and has one of the best know names to Cuban dance. Sharon has been to many of her workshops in London, mostly on Ladies Cuban styling but also on Reggaeton and Cuban Rumba. She was most well known for her Couple dancing with Rafael.
