| DESCRIPTION |
Presented by
instructor,
performer, choreographer, DJ and musician Carlos Konig,
this social will feature lots of classic salsa music, with an occasional
cha cha, by
DJ Carlos Konig and other guest
DJ's. Held in a well-equipped studio, the wooden dance floor is "medium
speed", so it is suitable for most shoes. There are two dancing rooms
available, plus another one ready to open if it gets crowded, as well as 2 other
rooms for relaxing & socializing. There will be a champagne toast at
midnight. Refreshments are available for reasonable prices along with
complementary snacks. Carlos is well-known to many of us as the smiling salsero with some of the
fastest feet you've ever seen. He is gracious and a true gentleman.
His classes & events are
always friendly and the ladies tell me that dancing with him is a very graceful
experience. He invites everyone to come and join him at his social, a
place for enjoyable dancing and socializing. Plenty of room and great
music, so invite your On 2 partners & friends.
