Dear Dancers & supporters of Azul Wasi,
With 2025 drawing to a close I would just like to thank everyone for all their continued support, we raised £9,807 this year from Latin Quarter classes & socials, and over the past 22 years a grand total of £153,499 for Azul Wasi children’s home, Oropesa, Peru and £6,165 for other charities which is incredible !
So a heartfelt thank you to you all, there are too many of you to name individually, but I want to mention a special thank you to Tania (SBK Dundee) who helped make all this possible over the past few years in helping in the Tuesday classes and at the LQ social events. Tania brings an abundance of sunshine with her enthusiasm for dance !
This year we saw some 1sts for Latin Quarter with 2 retro nights (60/70s then 80/90s SBK plus music). We had our yearly Cuban Fever night with visiting Cuban teacher & performer Yamil Cuedo Ferrera and a Latin Quarter Live Edition with Conjunto Malecon son band, their first time playing at LQ, they were great. There were some familiar faces in the band though from Son Al Son & Latina Turners Orq. We also had our usual SBK socials in between the bigger events. If you would like to have more live music, Cuban or Retro nights please get in touch at email LQsalsadundeegmail.com. Some of the Rueda class also performed in December so a big thank you to the team (with no name yet !).
I also visited Azul Wasi to see Alcides and the children this August and shared a bit of Dundee, Scotland & salsa with them which was both fun and a moving experience, see the earlier Peru trip post for pictures & videos.
Sending you all BIG HUGS and hope you wrap up warm and have a lovely time over the festive season (or holidays) if you celebrate it. Have attached a wee message in the LQ facebook group from Azul Wasi to everyone and a message to the children at Azul Wasi from a few of the die hards who made it along to the very last classes last week. Unfortunately it didn’t quite go to plan, I didn’t check it before we left the building ! Oh well, the sentiment was there, needs a bit of refining before the 2026 message !
The Latin Quarter Tuesday classes start back @ The Deaf Hub on Tuesday 13th January at 6.15pm with the new cross body salsa beginners classes if anyone can help advertise them, would be very grateful as no time to put any posters or flyers around. I’ll post it soon.
The other 2 salsa classes on Tuesdays continue from the 13th Jan as usual, improvers/ intermediate cross body salsa at 7.25pm and Cuban Rueda at 8.20pm. Both these classes require previous salsa experience though, contact sarah @ [LQsalsadundee@gmail.com](mailto:LQsalsadundee@gmail.com) with any class enquires & to reserve spaces for the beginners 10 week block.
Also hoping to have another conversion class of cross body salsa to cuban rueda in February if enough interest. Please contact by email if you have completed a beginners salsa class and are interested in learning Rueda.
Warm festive wishes,
Sarah
