| DESCRIPTION |
This event was originally started by
DJ Alejandro
Bouza and held at the Four Points Sheraton a while ago. Now it
is at DanceSport
Studios in a nicely equipped dance studio with a good wooden
ballroom floor. There is usually a good size crowd of On 2 dancers
at different levels after around 9:30 PM, so there would be partners to dance with.
As it gets later, especially after the performances, more advanced dancers
come. And it is a
very friendly crowd which is welcoming to newcomers. Drink prices
for the "specials" are reasonable. This is where the salseros
go to continue dancing after the usual Sunday evening socials. There
are also separate rooms for tango, west coast swing, zouk and kizomba
going on at the same time.
