Cuban Beats (Dance cuban salsa nights)


Wow what a brilliant night we all had last night...

It was Thursday night so that means Cuban salsa at the Staithe again..

I have really missed it, last week we couldn't sadly have the room so this week everyone couldn't wait to get there.. including me !

We weren't disappointed, it was a really special very unique night..

The classes started off as normal with Sharon raising the temperatures with her warm up, im sure i could hear creaking coming from my fellas arms though ..lol

They had already told the group we were going to have a special guest there and boy wasn't he special.. Thank you so much Jose..
Out came loads of assorted drums and various musical instruments as we all joined in to have our first taste of just how infectious that Cuban beat is... it was brilliant..

I wasn't as bad on the drums as i thought i would be, once that bolero beat was in there it couldn't help but come out ,one by one we all joined in with our offering and created a symphony of Cuban beats so strong, I'm surprised you couldn't hear us in Norwich....hehe

I got totally lost in the music , my head and shoulders were swaying like the sea..lol

Our special guests were non other than Jose and Alex from the band Guateque... Jose was incredible and so passionate about his music.... anyone that didn't have a drum or instrument was up on their feet and dancing, it was an experience ill never forget and one of those nights to always remember...



The group there is one of the best classes Ive known, Sharon and Richard are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet (let alone amazing dancers) and what they brought to Stalham last night was a true taste of Cuba and the roots to why we were all there wanting to learn....

Its showed us all that salsa isn't just about the dancing, every dance has a story and roots behind it, so when you dance you know its history of how that dance started, it puts more passion into your dancing, as you know and feel that you really mean what you are doing (a very sexy history lesson on a dance floor)... lol

If anyone has thought about learning salsa, then why not come along, you don't need a partner (you can borrow mine for a vodka ! lol) we are such a friendly group. There is always someone happy to dance with you... from basic to advanced you cant help but take something new home with you every week... these classes really will make everyone happy.. I am totally..

Last night i brought home more than just dance steps.. I brought home a head full of bolero rhythms Rumba and clave...and memories of a great group of people that all came together to make Stalham the place to be......... There is a heart in everything and everyone..

And Stalhams heart last night must have been heard for miles..........
