A VERY BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came on Saturday to The Latin Quarter Charity Cuban Night to see Conjunto Malecon @ The Clubbee. A special thank you to everyone who travelled from further afield to come along. Also thank you to the band, bar staff and to Patrick, Bernie & John for doing the door & raffle tickets.
Big thank you to Tania & Gemma for our debut performance, an Oshun Orisha inspired dance as part of Tres Chicas.
Thank you to Paco & Hamish for helping with logistics.
A very special thank you to Tania, Bernie & my parents for helping set the room up with the Cuban inspired materials. Also thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes and to Doug for a very generous donation to Azul Wasi.
We raised £1,197 for the Azul Wasi Children’s home near Oropesa, Peru which is fantastic. Have attached a thank you photo ( as video won’t attach here) from Azul Wasi.
The event was also kindly included as part of the first Play Festival this year, attached below is a QR code if you can give the Dundee Play Forum some feedback please use the participant feedback form.
Does anyone have any nice pictures & videos from the evening or photo booth you can send to me please for this group. I’m trying to gather as much as possible. Please email LQsalsadundee@gmail.com or message sarah salsa on Fbook messenger to arrange transfer please.
There is a taster of the event in the Salsa Dundee – Latin Quarter group. (20+) Salsa Dundee- Latin Quarter | Facebook
There were about 130 folks came including the band & admin staff which is great, but made for a hot room even with the cooling capacity full with windows open & cooling fans on. I know there weren’t enough places for everyone to sit, I was banking on people sharing seats as quite a few of you would be busy on the dance floor most of the night ! So hoping these factors didn’t detract too much from the evening.
The head mic had some interference on the night unfortunately so not sure everyone heard me or what to do in the raffle as there were a few unclaimed prizes. I’ve moved to a different model at band nights. The raffle will be pre drawn during the break and after I call out the top 3 prizes the rest will be on the entry table. So you need to check your ticket numbers at the table to claim the prizes. This means there is more dancing time.
The next Latin Quarter Social is on Tuesday 23rd June @ The Deaf Hub with a Bachata Fusion class at the start, event details coming soon. Anyone welcome to come.
The next Latin Quarter LIVE is on Sunday 4th October @ The Bonar Hall, Dundee. There are 10 early bird tickets at Ticket Tailor, sorry the code wasn’t live on Saturday, was meant to be available to event attendees. Event post coming soon with more details.
