TLC's Salsa, Tango, Swing & Kizomba Ball
@ Guildhall Winchester, The Broadway, Winchester, SO23 9GH
WOW - what an amazing night and a MASSIVE thank you to all who came - you all looked wonderful and your feedback has really blown me away. There are fantastic photos already up on the Solent Studios website CLICK HERE to see the action and you can order your copies online.
The performers Renako & Nicolette of ALLEVIATE were stunning, such strength, beauty, precision with so much grace and storytelling.
A BIG 'thank you' must go the my wonderful DJ's Andy Kale, David Prime, Julian the Duke, Marcus and Steve, who kept everyone dancing right up until the end - and the dancers were still asking for more! The new Kizomba room was a knock out hit which will be a feature every year now.
I must also thank my super team of sound & lighting engineers, who worked tirelessly all day with me to setup up all 4 rooms at the Guildhall and then of course taking it all down until we left at 3am!
Next year, we'll have the doors open at 8pm for you, so you'll have longer to enjoy the night - make a note in your diaries Saturday, 23 Feb 2013!
Girls - you always make the effort to impress the guys, so just go glam as usual!
DINING OPTION
If you are thinking of dining in Winchester with friends before the ball, then please note that good restaurants are hard to find unless you book well in advance, so Tracie provides an option to make it easier for our dancers to get good food at a reasonable price at the NEW 1871 Café at the Guildhall. You can choose from a formal sit down dinner between 7.30-8.30pm or the Cafe will provide light snacks and bites all night from 8.30pm until 12.30am.
If you would like to reserve your table (there are limited covers), please contact Tracie on info@tracieslatinclub.co.uk , then you can pay and make your choice of menu on the night
