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..........

A taste of Cuba

We had such a brilliant night last night, it was Cuban Salsa at the Staithe Sutton night, with Sharon, Richard and our friends.... what a night we all had.. it was amazing

Last night we were going to be shown rueda (the wheel) its always looked fun to watch but honestly when you are part of it, it was such brilliant fun..you cant help but smile and enjoy yourself..

Richard was calling out the moves, we learnt enough just on our first night, to all get together and have one hell of a night.. It was so beautifully warm, the music was so good, we had our own taste of cuba and transformed stalham into a place where we all wanted to be..

I managed not to mess up my footwork for a change, the whole night just felt so right

I came home so happy last night it was untrue.....

The guy calls out the moves and in a circle everyone dances together picking up the ladies on the way round...

The passion these guys are sending out through dancing is infectious.. so if you havent tried cuban salsa, you have your very own cuban nights here on the Norfolk broads to come and try..

We have sunshine, that distinctive cuban beat flowing into the night air, a bar, the best group of people you could hope to meet and dance with.......and Sharon and Richard !!

Who said paradise isnt easy to find ..........

I'll take Stalham any day......

come on everyone check out the website and see how much fun we all had http://www.dancecuban.co.uk/index.html

Dancing in the Street

Omg Have I got a headache this morning ooops.....

Last night will be definitely be one for the armchair..what on earth did you put in that punch Richard? lol

We had such a fantastic night.. the photo was the start of the party, you really don't want to see the end of the night... But ive been told we will be in the website soon and on youtube as someone videoed the whole thing !

It started in the high street in Stalham, we went along to support Sharon and Richard as they were doing a taster session, showing the locals there that salsas coming to stalham next week...

We had only just got a drink (my 1st vodka) i hadnt even had a sip and on came our Rompe song (id know that intro anywhere)Rompe, Rompe, Rompe... after Thursday night (we had so much fun) Sharon standing there on the street beckoning me and Cheryl to join in........lol

I haven't had that much fun in years, we were lined up all shaking our booty and having a right giggle.. im not sure if it will put the locals off (we did only get to learn that the night before) but if they have a sense of fun then they really should come along to the new class.

The street dance was cut short as there was a heavy metal band playing ( i couldnt understand a word the guy was singing) i thought he was singing bow wow?tried to salsa to it (but failed dismally) so the group all got everything together and hit Sharon's for the party......

They had made such a huge effort,the punch was unbelievably Moorish (and very potent) the dancing was the best ive seen, and because i was rather tipsy i actually danced without worrying that i couldn't do the steps... it was probably the best ive danced too! so that proves it, i worry too much that i cant do stuff and should just enjoy trying to do more...

Ive drank my first mojito (they were wonderful so enjoyed a few) and really had such a brilliant time all thanks to them.....

We've met some wonderful people through dancing, I look so forward to my nights with them and cant wait for the next night out..

These guys are the nicest people you could ever meet, they must have feel shattered this morning too, how on earth they managed to arrange a party, provide us all with such a wonderful night and still do a street fair i don't know........ i take my hat off to these guys..

We danced rumba with Richard, lots more reggaeton and salsa'ed the night away (cuban style)til the early hours...

I spoke to our friends last night too, or rather i was singing down the phone while dancing Rompe round Sharon's garden, (Cant wait to see you guys, ill give you a ring later today x) sorry about my singing....oops

I do have rather a hangover (ill admit) so im now going to grab myself a bath, cook one of that terrible fried things that resembles breakfast and try to move without my head still thinking its behind me....

We had a brilliant night, loved the company and had such a great night..

Thank you so much Sharon and Richard... Ive definitely been cubanised !
