Cuba!

Last night I went to One Night in Cuba (Tropicana 7) at the Hellenic Club with Den and her friends.

The music was fantastic, with live, nine-piece Latino band Calle Loca and DJ Tocatumba from Sydney.

I don't actually know how to dance Salsa, Merengue, the Bachata, or any other latin dances, but that wasn't going to stop me from giving them all a go! That being said, I think some lessons wouldn't go astray!

They had some great performances throughout the night from different salsa studios around Canberra, but I think the best had to be the Kokoloco dancers, especially the Brazilian girls....they are always a crowd favourite, for obvious reasons ha ha.

So You Think You Can Dance?

On Saturday, Daniel, Csaba, Trin and I went to the So You Think You Can Dance concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

The concert was based heavily on the TV show, and had the top ten dancers performing some of the routines from the show and some new solo and group ones.

I have to say it was pretty amazing....these kids can dance! Even if you aren't a dancer and usually have no appreciation of dance, I'd be willing to bet you'd still love it. So many tricks, flips, amazing moves...and the soundtrack was pretty great too!

Here's a little clip from one of the group routines. The lighting made it a bit difficult for my little compact camera to capture well!

Vanessa Amorosi & Michael Paynter

Last night I went with Daniel, Csaba and Slavisha to see Vanessa Amorosi play at the Southern Cross Club. Michael Paynter opened, and he was really, really good.

Of course Vanessa's show was high energy and required a lot of audience participation, so even if you weren't a huge fan before the concert, you left one.

We met them after the show for some photos, autographs and a bit of a chat. Both of them were so lovely and genuine in person.

I'd recommend the show!
