Salsa Dundee

No Latin Quarter deaf hub classes on 17th and 24th June, see you on 1st July.

A very big thank you to everyone who came along last Friday for the Retro night, and to everyone who travelled from afar and those of you who came dressed up ! Some really fab outfits and the wigs were out of this world ! Fantastic. Thanks for being so brave and making the night special.

We raised £319 for the Azul Wasi home in peru, which is great.
Big thanks to Tania as ever ! for all her help on the night and with class, to Ann for doing the door and to Angie for helping sell raffle tickets.

Big thanks to Joanni for the photo booth, if anyone doesn’t mind sharing their photo booth pics with me once you get them, then I can post on facebook. I would love to see them.

If you would like to share any videos and photos with me, please contact LQsalsadundee@gmail.com or sarah salsa on fbook messenger to arrange best way to transfer.

Also I would be interested to hear feedback from those who attended the Retro night, whether you liked hearing music mostly from the 60s to 90s with a few newer tracks thrown in ? Who would be interested in another occasional themed night , maybe 80s to 2000s for the next one, am visualising fluorescent clothing?? ? Or another 60s/70s theme etc. Send feedback to me via above email/ messenger if you can.

Hope to see you at Tanias Love Dance social on 27th June at The Deaf Hub.
