Dance Cuban Christmas Party 2010

Do you think im putting on weight? my fellas face says i am, either that or i sat on something i shouldnt have.......
Its snowing heavy all the roads are slippery as hell and what were a mad bunch of salsa addicts all doing?
1. Tucked up in the warm with hot chocolate?
2.Watching the snow from the windows making lots of ahh sounds in the comfort of their warm homes!
3. Wrapping gift to put under the tree?
DONT BE DAFT.....
We were at the Dance Cuban
Christmas party of course!! hehe
Sharon stole the show with her beautiful dress and was looking totally gorgeous, you should have seen the place when she did her belly dancing..omg was that something else

It was a brilliant night!
Everyone was in such good spirits, especially Richard who seemed to have had plenty of spirit inside him already and was cracking everyone up with his speach...
We had some of the best dancers there from around the country.

We started the night with a lovely sit down meal which i must say was brilliant, the service was so fast and the food was lovely, it was my first gluten free xmas dinner out so one ill remember..

Richard came down from London especially to be part of it and started the party off in style by warming everyone up! All the best dabcers were there Jackie, Nad, Richard, Jose not to mention Sexy Sasha! I have to call him that as all the girls do... and boy cant you see why....... (white shirt ladies...)
All the guests were up and shimmeeing away filling both dance floors..

The music was brilliant as soon as timba came on my fella was up, its fast and addictive and never fails to have everyone up on their feet.

Everyone in the Staithe last night will agree it was another of those never forget party nights, Richard you always know how to throw the best of them..
I'm still slightly hung over so am taking the day slower than usual, i also have the triplets off from school due to the snow to help today, so i can tell them all about it and stick on some music while i work..

Our good friends brought us back some rather special chocolate from Amsterdam from their trip, that i must keep away from the children so tonight I'm going to eat that and make a total hash of the gift wrapping..

But as you can see from my half of the pictures it was worth braving the snow to get to this party..
I'm sure Angela's photos will all say the same thing...

Thanks guys for a hell of a brilliant night, and book us in for next years!
The place was packed so everyone knew how good last years was and this years wasn't any different

My fellas got to have an operation in the new year and as soon as that's done , salsa will become a big part in our lives again.
We've met some wonderful people who we now are lucky to call our friends and are part of something very special..

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
See you all New Years Eve to do it all again..................

Spining around

Oh my word are my feet killing me this morning, its not just me my fellas exactly the same! My eyes are swelled up and ive had hardly any sleep again! thats what you get for wiggling at my fella, he says its all my fault...

Last night was such a good night, Stalhams definately the place to be on Thursdays. Its Cuban Salsa time!

Sharon and Richard had us all wiggling and up on our feet, the music was simply brilliant.. Sharons regaetton is so much fun even the guys get up now and join in, how great is that!

You knew it was going to be a good night when you saw Sharon in that dress...wow, talk about sexy! Richard will soon have to start carrying a fire extinguisher! Ill show you the photos later, i plan on writing a few blogs this weekend.. i probably wont have the energy for much else!

We did everything from Regaetton & Bacharta to our Cuban salsa (and Steve's timba) its always a party atmosphere and my favourite night of the week! I danced with my fella to a Regaetton track and nearly forgot where i was ! lol .. it really is such a great night, we need more guys up there to learn salsa, so what are you waiting for? whoever thinks its not masculine needs to come watch this ! take it from me (im female and know this stuff) its the guys that can dance and try that get the ladies attention, and such good fun while keeping us on our toes.. where else can you take the lead and not get moaned at! lol ....we love it!

This weekend is going to be a Red Bull one ! im already aching from last night and we still have two party nights to go! oh my word is this gonna be a weekend to remember...

Tonight its our friends party and one we are all looking forward to, I already know its gonna be a night to remember, it always is as nobody cares what they look like everyones there to enjoy themselves and simply party, my fellas said hes up for lessons on the pole too, so ill take my camera and catch him in the act! im so looking forward to this...hehe The only problem im having is what do i wear? i tend to stick to jeans usually but i cant poledance in them! so if anyone has any ideas please help! (clean 0nes only please!) failing that ill wear my outfit and shove my shorts on underneath...lol ill look like ive got some hips then too !

Tomorrow if we are still able to walk we are being picked up by our salsa friends and hitting the 'Talk' for the 'Lord mayor's procession after party'! there will be live music from la Cuban ritmo, who weve already seen before (they are totally amazing!) so its gonna be a very lively and exciting weekend....... with a weekend long hangover..hehe We wanted to be part of the prcocession but my fella couldnt get the time off saturdays to attend the practise sessions :( so im sending all my best for you guys tomorrow and will catch up with you all at the after party! God i wish i could have been part of that... the last time i danced down a street with sharon and the girls was such a giggle... theres another street fair coming up at Ingham very soon, where we will get to repeat that one....

Party, Party, Party !



My god wheres that red bull.... we are going to need wings to get us through this lot....lol

Mojito Nights

Good morning..........hick ! Ive got a bit of a headache this morning Cheryl..lol

What a great night that was !!

It was the Cuban Salsa night at The Staithe... OMG what a blast..

I started the night wearing a dress..oh yes i did ! I just didn't finish the night wearing it..hehe

Sharon and Richard put on such a good night and wonderful Mojitos !! so after a few extra vodkas as i was wearing the dress me and Cheryl decided to go traditional Cuban and start on them, yum is about all i can say, don't they go down well..

I'm always the same in regards to needing to be comfortable, and although i had so many compliments last night about my dress (thanks guys) i just cant be myself in one, so off that came out came the jeans and my fun head (as Cheryl called it) lol

It was such a great atmosphere everyone was out to party, I got very brave (its the mojitos) so was wandering round asking all the guys to dance to Cheryls amusement, i had such a good night..

My fellas still soundo as i did go home and attack the peanut butter and kept him up til 4 telling him what a lubely night that was......lol

The music was all thanks to DJ shorty (why do they call her that, shes taller than me ! now im worried) she was totally amazing, none of us sat down the music was that contagious.. shes also the most amazing dancer ive seen and just glides ...

It was lovely to see Sharon ad Richard so happy and relaxed enjoying the mojitos too hehe ... everyone was so happy and it was all down to you guys.. so a huge thank you ...

I think the regaetton was the best we've done, by that point we had all drunk so much so were all going for it on that floor...lol yeah so for any of you that sat at home watching X factor you missed some serious booty shaking ...lol

I had my first dance with Max last night, for months ive wanted to dance with him and his 2 brothers they are all such a great bunch of people so when he actually came and asked me?? (was there any money changing hands there) i was rather drunk but so pleased and wasn't disappointed, he really is unbelievable, and i was too tipsy to be nervous so it worked !!

I grabbed Richard for Bachata and managed to stand on him again..oops but i hear that Havana rum is great for sore feet Richard....hehe

I managed a dance in the rain last night too ! it felt amazing , i went outside to cool down and it looked so beautiful off i went, you could hear the music and i think the mojitos had taken their toll .. it was amazing.. the whole night for me was magical.......hence the wet hair..lol

I did start taking photos but as the night unfolded i was enjoying myself too much to bother with the camera.. but what it has left me is a head full of happy thoughts an insatiable Cuban beat and one hell of a hangover this morning..

If that was a taste of Cuba.. then i want a plateful..lol

A brilliant night with wonderfully friendly people and some seriously sexy Cuban salsa dancers..

Thank you so much Sharon and Richard...

What a great weekend you've given us all..
