Valentine's Salsa & Disco Party

Once every year there comes a special day dedicated to all those in love. I am of course talking about the Valentine’s Day!

This year Buba is organizing a very special event called The Valentine’s Salsa & Disco Party for all fun-and-dance-loving people. It will be a huge event with two separate floors; one of course for the best salsa hits of all time, and the other for those sweet and crazy sounds of disco from the 80/90s!! We all know everyone still listens to that kind of music – remember John Travolta in Saturday night fever?

DATE & VENUE: 14.02.2009 at Gospodarsko razstavisce, Ljubljana
START TIME: 21.00
END TIME 3.00

There will also be a show program at 23h you don’t want to miss!!
DRESS CODE: RED LOVE

Christmas Salsa Party 08

La Luna — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:53:23 +0000

La Luna has recently gained a few members which we are all happy about. Three to be exact: Kristina, Barbara and Petra. Three groovy chicks and very capable dancers!

So the new-and-improved group has just performed at the annual Christmas Salsa Party organized by Buba.

We made a great choreography to show off our jazz dancing skills in this Michael Jackson inspired latin jazz performance of “The Way You Make Me Feel”. We had lots of fun and hard trainings and promisse to do even better in the future.

So now on to the impressions of the salsa party:

- lasted till 4am or in other words, till our feet were able to move

- the music was great

- the cocktails even better

- atmosphere absolutely fantastic

- the dress code was (as ussual) not so obeyed. Lets all be dressed appropriately next time just for the fun of it!

Take a look at our performance:

Pictures from this event will be published in our gallery shortly!

Hey all you salseros & salseras! We have FINALLY posted photos from the 5th Salsa Power Festival in our gallery. As you may have noticed, some have already been posted before, but we now have added lots of pictures from the two day workshops and the Sunday party.

Here’s a sneak preview

Enjoy!!

Memories from the 5th Salsa Power Festival

La Luna — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:27:42 +0000

I’m gonna start by saying it was absolutely FANTASTIC! The classes and parties were great, the people and the atmosphere even better! I personally cannot choose a favourite workshop as I enjoyed each and everyone. The PW with shines from Anke & Gil was crazy with all the hands flipping around:) and the cuban rumba was just awesome.. no-one moves like Israel Gutierrez! The hip hop salsa was something new.. all I can say is Go Dado! Super Mario is a story of his own. I took three of his classes (flashy combinations, surprise moves and crazy combinations) and they were all very fun and unique. He made people laugh on every class. I liked his style of teaching the most, although I still resent him for calling me crazy;). The advanced lead and follow by Orville and Sabrina was great as well – some very useful tips on how to be a better dance partner. These were the lessons I took, but others say they enjoyed the rest of the workshops just as well. So to all our instructors, job well done!

Now lets comment on the 3 evening parties.. or should I say four, because there was an afterparty on Saturday, but I didn’t really attend it – my feet were killing me! So, the Friday party was OK and it wasn’t too crowded, so that’s good. Some very interesting performances from the instructors. The audience was cheering and clapping all the way through the show program! The Saturday party was amazing. But there were so many people it was sometimes hard to find some free space to dance. Again, the shows were great. My favourites were the Salsation dance group – amazing and very funny may I add. I also enyojed the performance from Anke & Gil!! Anke always looks so pretty and the two look like they are always having a really fun time dancing together. The Sunday party was very relaxing. No show program, just pure fun. I think we were all very tired from the two days of intense workshops and parties, that we all took it very easy, had some laughs, a few spins around the dance floor and then off to bed.

So here comes my conclusion. I hope everyone had a great and memorable time at the festival. Dancing salsa is all about having lots of fun and learning new moves. So if you did, then the purpose of the 5th Salsa Power festival was achieved!

The gallery from this weekend will soon be posted here, so come back in the next couple of days to check it out!

Luv ya all!! Kisses,

The workshops will take place in BU-BA from 10th till 12th October in 4 huge halls, all very well equipt with great dancing floor.
